Top 10 List of Week 08

1. CPU Scheduling in Operating System
   Scheduling of processes/work is done to finish the work on time.

2. CPU-I/O Burst Cycle
   Semaphore was proposed by Dijkstra in 1965 which is a very significant technique to manage concurrent processes by using a simple integer value, which is known as a semaphore.

3. Operating System Scheduling algorithms
   A Process Scheduler schedules different processes to be assigned to the CPU based on particular scheduling algorithms.

4. Linux
   Linux is one of popular version of UNIX operating System. It is open source as its source code is freely available.

5. Tar file
   Short for Tape Archive, and sometimes referred to as tarball, a file that has the TAR file extension is a file in the Consolidated Unix Archive format. A program or command that can open archives is needed to open a TAR file.

6. Tgz file
   A TGZ file is a TAR Archive file that has been compressed using Gnu Zip (gzip) software. Commonly used on UNIX and Linux systems, TAR archives bundle a collection of files into a single file for easier distribution or backup.

7. CPU Scheduling Criteria
   Different CPU scheduling algorithms have different properties and the choice of a particular algorithm depends on the various factors.

8. Multiple-Processor Scheduling in Operating System
   In multiple-processor scheduling multiple CPU’s are available and hence Load Sharing becomes possible. However multiple processor scheduling is more complex as compared to single processor scheduling.

9. Scheduling in Real Time Systems
   Real-time systems are systems that carry real-time tasks. These tasks need to be performed immediately with a certain degree of urgency. In particular, these tasks are related to control of certain events (or) reacting to them. Real-time tasks can be classified as hard real-time tasks and soft real-time tasks.

10. Operating Systems Evaluation of Scheduling Algorithms
    Discusses various techniques to evaluate a particular scheduling algorithm.
