Question
An I/O-bound process is one that, if run alone, would spend more time waiting for I/O operations than using the processor. A processor-bound process is the opposite.
QUESTION #4 (10 Minutes 10 points An I/O-bound process is one that, if run alone, would spend more time waiting for LO operations than using the processor. A processor-bound process is the opposite. Q1: Given the two groups of processes, some for IO-bound and others for process-bound, which group of the processes should be given a higher priority than the other group by a short-term scheduler to maximize the process execution) throughput? (2 points) Q2: Justify your choice. (8 points) Note: Your solution will be graded based on how well you justify your choice. Selecting the correct choice I/O-bound or processor-bound process account for only 5 points and the rest of 10 points come from your justification. The grading your justification will focus on the idea s) you emphasize and clarity in your explanation (i.e., "nothing wrong" in your explanation will not earn much credit without adequate emphasis on the correct idea(s and clarity in your reasoning)Explanation / Answer
short term scheduler gives highest priority to the I/o bound process. Because CPU bound process usually have large CPU burst time.Better I/O device utilization could be achieved if I/O bound processes had higher priority. In general any scheduler will want to favour I/O bound jobs over CPU bound jobs
