Pre-Emptive Scheduling and the Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) One of the biggest differentiators between the scheduling algorithms implemented within embedded OSs is whether the algorithm ...

At the OS scheduling level, an algorithm that allows for a significant number of larger processes to be executed before smaller processes runs the risk of having a lower throughput.

Short Term vs. Long Term Scheduling. Most computer operating systems must multi-task. They use a scheduling algorithm that decides which of the many processes can be run at any given time. It puts ...
