Operating Systems Principles Process Management and Coordination Lecture 5: Process and Thread Scheduling Organization of Schedulers

Process Scheduling/Dispatching Process scheduling – Long term scheduling – Move process to Ready List (“RL”) after creation (When and in which order?) Process Dispatching – Short term scheduling – Select process from Ready List to run We use “scheduling” to refer to both.

Organization of Schedulers Embedded – Called as function at end of kernel call – Runs as part of calling process Autonomous – Separate process – May have dedicated CPU on a multiprocessor – On single-processor, run at every quantum: scheduler and other processes alternate p i : process S : scheduler

Priority Scheduling Priority function returns numerical value P for process p : P = Priority(p) Static priority: unchanged for lifetime of p Dynamic priority: changes at runtime Who runs next? Based on priority

Priority-Leveled Processes Priority divides processes into levels Implemented as multilevel ready list, say, RL – p at RL[i] run before q at RL[j] if i > j – p, q at same level are ordered by other criteria, e.g., the order of arrival. RL[n]

The Processes in Ready List Status.Type  {running, ready_a, ready_s}

The Scheduler

The scheduler may be invoked periodically when some events affect the priorities of existing processes, e.g., – a process is blocked/suspended – a process is destroyed – a new process created – a process is activated The scheduler may be invoked periodically when some events affect the priorities of existing processes, e.g., – a process is blocked/suspended – a process is destroyed – a new process created – a process is activated

The Scheduler The scheduler may be invoked periodically when some events affect the priorities of existing processes, e.g., – a process is blocked/suspended – a process is destroyed – a new process created – a process is activated The scheduler may be invoked periodically when some events affect the priorities of existing processes, e.g., – a process is blocked/suspended – a process is destroyed – a new process created – a process is activated Some processes in RL can get CPU. Running processes may be preempted. The scheduler/dispatcher should always keep the np (#processors) highest-priority active processes running.

Invoking the Scheduler The caller to the scheduler may be a process to be blocked/suspended or awakened/activated

An Embedded Scheduler Scheduler() { do { Find highest priority ready_a process p; Find a free cpu; if (cpu != NIL) Allocate_CPU(p,cpu); } while (cpu != NIL); do { Find highest priority ready_a process p; Find lowest priority running process q; if (Priority(p) > Priority(q)) Preempt(p,q); } while (Priority(p) > Priority(q)); if (self->Status.Type!=’running’) Preempt(p,self); } The caller to the scheduler may be a process to be blocked/suspended or awakened/activated If free CPUs are available, allocate these free CPUs to high- priority processes in ready_a state To preempt low-priority running processes by high-priority ready_a ones. If the caller is going to be idled, preempt itself.

An Embedded Scheduler Scheduler() { do { Find highest priority ready_a process p; Find a free cpu; if (cpu != NIL) Allocate_CPU(p,cpu); } while (cpu != NIL); do { Find highest priority ready_a process p; Find lowest priority running process q; if (Priority(p) > Priority(q)) Preempt(p,q); } while (Priority(p) > Priority(q)); if (self->Status.Type!=’running’) Preempt(p,self); } The caller to the scheduler may be a process to be blocked/suspended or awakened/activated To preempt low-priority running processes by high-priority ready_a ones. If the caller is going to be idled, preempt itself.

An Embedded Scheduler Scheduler() { do { Find highest priority ready_a process p; Find a free cpu; if (cpu != NIL) Allocate_CPU(p,cpu); } while (cpu != NIL); do { Find highest priority ready_a process p; Find lowest priority running process q; if (Priority(p) > Priority(q)) Preempt(p,q); } while (Priority(p) > Priority(q)); if (self->Status.Type!=’running’) Preempt(p,self); } The caller to the scheduler may be a process to be blocked/suspended or awakened/activated If the caller is going to be idled, preempt itself.

Operating Systems Principles Process Management and Coordination Lecture 5: Process and Thread Scheduling Scheduling Methods

Scheduling Policy Scheduling based on certain criteria. For examples: – batch jobs vs. interactive users – System processes vs. user processes – I/O bound processes vs. CPU bound processes

The General Framework When to schedule? – Preemptive – Nonpreemptive Who to schedule? – Priority evaluation – Arbitration to break ties Decision Mode Decision mode Priority function Arbitration Rule A scheduling policy is determined by:

The Decision Modes Preemptive: scheduler called – periodically (quantum-oriented) or – when system state changes More costly Nonpreemptive: scheduler called – when process terminates or blocks Not adequate in real-time or time-shared systems Decision mode Priority function Arbitration Rule A scheduling policy is determined by:

The Priority Function Decision mode Priority function Arbitration Rule A scheduling policy is determined by: Possible parameters: – Attained service time (a) – Real time in system (r) – Total service time (t) – Period (d) – Deadline (explicit or implied by period) – External priority (e) – Memory requirements (mostly for batch) – System load (not process-specific)

The Arbitration Rules Decision mode Priority function Arbitration Rule A scheduling policy is determined by: Break ties among processes of the same priority – Random – Chronological (First In First Out = FIFO) – Cyclic (Round Robin = RR)

Common Scheduling Algorithms

Comparison of Methods FIFO, SJF, SRT: Primarily for batch systems FIFO is the simplest SJF & SRT have better average turnaround times: r i : the real time that the i th process spends in the system.

Example arrival service p1p1 p2p2 p3p3 t t t  3 4 2 1 Comparison of average turnaround time

Comparison of Methods Time-sharing systems Response time is critical RR or MLF with RR within each queue are suitable Time-sharing systems Response time is critical RR or MLF with RR within each queue are suitable

Comparison of Methods Time-sharing systems – Response time is critical – RR or MLF with RR within each queue are suitable Choice of quantum determines overhead – When q  , RR approaches FIFO – When q  0, context switch overhead  100% – When q >> context switch overhead, n processes run concurrently at 1/n CPU speed

Interactive Systems Most dynamic schemes tend to move interactive and I/O-bound processes to the top of the priority queues and to let CPU-bound processes drift to lower levels. MLF puts I/O-completed processes into highest priority queue.

Comparison of Methods Real-time systems –Feasible = All deadlines are met –CPU utilization is defined as: U=∑ t i /d i –Schedule is feasible if U  1 –EDF always yields feasible schedule (if U  1 ) –RM yields feasible schedule if U  0.7 Real-time systems –Feasible = All deadlines are met –CPU utilization is defined as: U=∑ t i /d i –Schedule is feasible if U  1 –EDF always yields feasible schedule (if U  1 ) –RM yields feasible schedule if U  0.7

Solutions 1. Make CSs nonpreemptable Practical is CSs are short and few Unsatisfactory if high-priority process often found themselves waiting for lower-priority process, especially unrelated ones. 2. Naïve “solution”: Always run CS at priority of highest process that shares the CS Problem: p 1 cannot preempt lower-priority process inside CS, even when it does not try to enter CS -- a different form of priority inversion. 3.
