Aspect |
Description |
Full Name |
First Come First Serve (FCFS) |
Scheduling Basis |
Once a process starts, it runs to completion |
Algorithm Type |
Process scheduling algorithm |
Principle |
Processes are executed in the order they arrive in the ready queue. |
Queue Structure |
FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queue |
Performance |
Poor in performance |
Implementation |
Relatively simple and easy to understand and implement. |
Starvation |
Can lead to starvation, where some processes may never get a chance to execute if long processes frequently arrive. |
Real-World Application |
Less common in modern operating systems due to its limitations. |
Notable Characteristics |
Lacks prioritization and does not consider the process’s burst time or priority. |
