Another disadvantage is faced when we have the process is with same priority and we have to make the use of second scheduling algorithms. The third disadvantage arises when the system gets crashes and all the processes who are having low priority, are not finished yet and they get lost.
Question 2
Advantages of Preemptive Scheduling
· This method follows robust approach.
· It allows us to have the selection of running task which can be considered again after every interruption.
· Every event is able to create interruption of the running task.
· The operating system makes sure that the CPU is used for the same time by all the running processes.
· All the executing processes...
