Your system is experiencing high context-switching overhead. How would you optimize the scheduling algorithm to reduce this overhead while maintaining fairness among processes?
- Increase the time slice for each process in Round-Robin scheduling
- Implement a Priority-Based scheduling algorithm
- Utilize a Shortest Job Next (SJN) scheduling algorithm
- Reduce the number of priority levels in Priority-Based scheduling
Option 3: Utilizing a Shortest Job Next (SJN) scheduling algorithm can help optimize the scheduling algorithm to reduce context-switching overhead. SJN prioritizes shorter jobs, leading to fewer context switches as shorter jobs are completed more quickly. This approach maintains fairness among processes by executing shorter jobs first while reducing the overall context-switching overhead, improving system efficiency.
