Long-term scheduler is invoked very infrequently seconds minutes may be slow . The long-term scheduler controls the degree of multiprogramming. More processes smaller percentage of time each process is executed 28 April 2022 Copyright Virtual University of Pakistan Short Term Scheduler Short-term scheduler or CPU scheduler selects which process should be executed next and allocates it the CPU through the dispatcher. Short-term scheduler is invoked very frequently milliseconds must be fast . Invoked when following events occur CPU slice of the current process finishes Current process needs to wait for an event Clock interrupt I O interrupt System call 28 April 2022 Copyright Virtual University of Signal Pakistan Medium Term Scheduler Also known as swapper Selects an in-memory process and swaps it out to the disk temporarily Swapping decision is based on several factors Arrival of a higher priority process but no memory available Poor mix of jobs 2022 28 April Memory request of Virtual Copyright a process University of cannot be met Pakistan Addition of Medium Term Scheduling 28 April 2022 Copyright .
