Introduction

To solve this problem, we will introduce a new scheduling algorithm, classically referred to as Round-Robin (RR) scheduling“Analysis of a Time-Shared Processor” by Leonard Kleinrock. Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 11-1, pages 59–73, March 1964. Maybe the first reference to the round-robin scheduling algorithm; certainly one of the first analyses of said approach to scheduling a time-shared system.. The basic idea is simple: instead of running jobs to completion, RR runs a job for a time slice (sometimes called a scheduling quantum) and then switches to the next job in ...
