Important Points

  •  Burst time is total time required for execution, which is given in problem
  • Arrival time is moment at which job is submitted into a queue , which is given in problem
  • start time is time at which procees starts its execution
  • Finish time of every process is calulated by addition of start time and burst time of that process
  • wait time of every process is calculated by subtraction of start  time and arrival time of that  process
  • Turn around time of every process is calculated by subtraction of finish time and arrival time
  • Avearge wait time is calculated by average of wait time of all processes.'
  • Average turn around time is calculated by average of turn around time of all processes. 
  • Belady's Anomaly - If there are three free frames and we are finding the total page faults , this page fault should be reduced if we increase number of free frames then number of page faults should be decreased. When this does not happen , then exception is called belady's anomaly.

Consider the following set of processes with the length of CPU  burst time and arrival time given in milli seconds

Illustrate the execution of these process using FCFS CPU Scheduling algorithems. Also calculate wait timeand turn around timeof each process and calculate average waiting time and average turn around time for above situation. Also draw a gantt chart.

Total wait time= 10

Average Wait time =10/3=3.33
 

Total Turn around time = 20

average turn around time=20/3=6.66

 Assume there are three free frames , find out belady's anomaly for 4 free frames, If reference string is 1,2,3,4,1,2,5,1,2,3,4,5. Use LRU
