SUSE Labs Conference 2020 - Impact of Quantum Values on Multilevel Feedback Queue for CPU Scheduling
Channel: SUSE Labs
Date: 05/10/2020

Conference held using #bigbluebutton

This talk will discuss the Multilevel Feedback Queue (MFQ) CPU scheduling algorithm. A controlled environment was created for testing several processes of various sizes and to collect data related to CPU efficiency and optimization. A virtual machine was implemented which included a simple operating system that followed a five-state process model. The virtual machine simulates byte code execution using a simple execution loop, and uses a simple RISC instruction set. Conclusions as to the optimal quantum values for the MFQ scheduling algorithm will be discussed.
