What is Preemptive Priority Scheduling Algorithm

  • It’s similar to SRTF scheduling. In SRTF, burst time was the priority. Here, priority is explicitly provided.
  • The process that has highest priority gets the CPU first.
  • The processes gets serviced by the CPU in order of their priority in descending order.
  • Higher number always doesn’t represents higher priority. In some cases, 0 may be the highest priority and 100 the lowest. It depends on systems.

Implementing Preemptive Priority Scheduling 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
  4. Priority 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.

Algorithm

completed = 0
current_time = 0
while(completed != n) {
    find process with maximum priority time among process that are in ready queue at current_time
    if(process found) {
        if(process is getting CPU for the first time) {
            start_time = current_time
        }
        burst_time = burst_time - 1
        current_time = current_time + 1
        if(burst_time == 0) {
            completion_time  = current_time
            turnaround_time = completion_time - arrival_time
            waiting_time = turnaround_time - burst_time
            response_time = start_time - arrival_time

            mark process as completed
            completed++
        }
    }
    else {
        current_time++
    }
}
TAT = CT - AT
WT = TAT - BT
RT = ST - AT
