Implementation of CPU Scheduling Policies: Priority (Non-preemptive and Preemptive) and Round Robin

Develop a menu driven C program to implement the CPU Scheduling Algorithms

Priority (Non-Preemptive and Preemptive) and Round Robin

Sample Learning Outcome:

1. Learn about the CPU Scheduling algorithms Priority and RR.
2. Implement the sorting algorithms necessary for scheduling and analyzing the performance using waiting time, turn around time and response time.
3. Learn to draw the Gantt Chart Best Practices:
4. Algorithm design
5. Naming convention for file names, variables
6. Comment usage at proper places
7. Prompt messages during reading input and displaying output
8. Error handling mechanisms for failures in system calls
9. Incremental program development
10. Modularity
11. All possible test cases in output

Algorithm:

1. Read the following
   1. Number of processes
   2. Process IDs
   3. Arrival time for each process
   4. Burst Time for each process
2. Design a menu with Priority and Round Robin options
3. Upon selection of menu option apply the corresponding algorithm.
4. Compute the Turnaround Time, Average waiting Time for each of the algorithm.
5. Tabularize the results.
6. Display the Gantt Chart.
