MP4: Schedule Me!

CS 241, Spring 2011


MP4 Example: FCFS, 2 cores

Consider the following simple schedule:

job number arrival time running time priority
0 0 8 1
1 1 8 1
2 3 4 2

The flow of execution of functions calls is as follows:

scheduler_start_up(cores = 2, scheme = FCFS)
    --> scheduler initialized

new_job(job_number = 0, time = 0, running_time = 8, priority = 1)
    --> returns 0, indicating job(id=0) should run on core(id=0)

new_job(job_number = 1, time = 1, running_time = 8, priority = 1)
    --> returns 1, indicating that job(id=1) should run on core(id=1).

new_job(job_number = 2, time = 3, running_time = 4, priority = 2)
    --> returns -1, indicating that job(id=2) will not be scheduled at this time.

job_finished(core_id = 0, job_number = 0, time = 8)
    --> returns 2, indicating job(id=2) should run next on core(id=0).

job_finished(core_id = 1, job_number = 1, time = 9)
    --> returns -1, indicating that core(id=1) should remain idle.

job_finished(core_id = 0, job_number = 2, time = 12)
    --> returns -1, indicating that core(id=0) should remain idle.

scheduler_average_waiting_time()
    --> returns (5/3) == 1.67.

scheduler_average_turnaround_time()
    --> returns (25/3) == 8.33.

scheduler_average_response_time()
    --> returns (5/3) == 1.67.

scheduler_clean_up()
    --> cleans up and frees all memory used by the scheduler

When the simulator is executed and the flow of execution is implemented correctly, you will see the following output:
