Q146 (CISF/2019) Science & Technology › ICT, AI, Cybersecurity & Emerging Tech

What is used for deciding priority to allocate CPU time to a process?

Explanation

The Scheduler is a core component of an Operating System (OS) responsible for process management. It decides which process in the 'ready' state should be allocated CPU time and for how long, based on specific scheduling algorithms such as Priority Scheduling, Round Robin, or Shortest Job First.

  • Linker: A program that combines multiple object files generated by a compiler into a single executable file.
  • Loader: A part of the OS responsible for loading programs from storage into the main memory (RAM) for execution.
  • Debugger: A software tool used by developers to test and find errors (bugs) in a program.

Therefore, the Scheduler is the specific entity that handles the allocation of CPU resources to various processes.
