Round Robin CPU Scheduling assignment help
computer science
Description
For this assignment please submit a single zip file. The zip file will contain your code
and a README pdf document with instructions on how to run your code. Include
one screenshot of your program running in the zip file as well.
Your objective is to create a program that simulates Round Robin CPU scheduling.
You could use the virtual machine from the first assignment to test your program to
make sure it will run.
Program Requirements:
The program you will create is used to generate a schedule of processes. The
processes are stored in a plaintext file. The program accepts two parameters. The
first parameter is the path of the processes file. The second parameter is the time
quantum. Your simulation should include the following:
Clock timestamps all events for processes, such as creation time, completion time,etc.
Process Creator creates processes at arrival time
CPU runs processes for a time slice (time quantum)
Queue FIFO Ready queue used by both the process creator and CPU
Process Arrival Time arrival time of new processes into the ready queue
Process Service Time amount of time required by the processes to complete execution
Time Quantum time each process can spend in the CPU before it is removed
Context Switch number of times a process is switched
Your program should also print out the following performance evaluation criteria:
CPU Utilization
Throughput
Average Waiting Time
Average Turnaround Time
Include a README pdf document as your project report. Your report should explain
CPU scheduling and how Round Robin works. Your report should detail your project
implementation and how to analyze the program output. You must include the
resulting output of your program using five different time quantum on the same
process list. You can either use screenshots or simply copy the output into your
report. The analysis of the results of the five runtimes should exhibit the
performance of the algorithm based on the size of the time quantum and how this
size impacts the outcome of the scheduling.
Sample Input:
Your program will be tested with an input file that has a certain format. It is a CSV
(comma space value) format that resembles a table. The three columns are Process
ID, Arrival Time and Burst Time. Each row is a process.
