Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the Priority Scheduling algorithm.
- Efficient for real-time systems, prone to convoy effect, may not be fair to lower priority processes, simple to implement.
- Ensures fairness among processes, may not be suitable for systems with a large number of processes, may lead to priority inversion.
- Flexible, may lead to starvation, can be implemented with various strategies, such as preemptive or non-preemptive.
- Prioritizes important tasks, can cause low-priority tasks to be neglected indefinitely, minimizes response time for high-priority tasks.
Priority scheduling offers flexibility in task management by allowing the implementation of preemptive or non-preemptive strategies based on system requirements. However, it can lead to starvation where low-priority tasks never get executed, and it may not always be fair to lower-priority processes, potentially causing issues like priority inversion. Despite these drawbacks, it efficiently handles real-time systems and minimizes response time for critical tasks.
