What is FCFS Scheduling Algorithm

• FCFS stands for First Come First Serve.
• The process that arrives in ready queue have least first gets the CPU first.
• The processes gets serviced by the CPU in order of their arrival time in ascending order.
• FCFS is a nonpreemptive algorithm

If you want to understand more about FCFS algorithm with example, watch the below video.

Implementing FCFS Algorithm in C++

Input

1. Number of processes
2. Arrival time of each process. If all process arrives at the same time, this can be set to 0 for all processes.
3. Burst time of each process

Output

1. Start Time(ST), Completion Time(CT), Turnaround Time(TAT), Waiting Time(WT) and Response Time(RT) for each process.
2. Average turnaround Time, average waiting time and average response time.
3. Throughput and cpu utilization.

If you want to understand implementation of algorithm with an example, do watch the video below.

Algorithm

1. Stable sort the processes in order of arrival time in ascending order.
2. Calculate start time and completion time for each process
3. Start time = (i == 0)?p[i].arrival_time:max(p[i].arrival_time,p[i-1].completion_time)
4. completion_time = start_time + p[i].burst_time
5. Calculate TAT, WT and RT using formulas

TAT = CT - AT
WT = TAT - BT
RT = ST - AT

If you want to understand how these formulas are derived, watch the below video.
