What is total head movement for FCFS scheduling for given I/O blocks 98, 183, 37, 122, 14, 124, 65, 67, where head is initially at cylinder 53 -
The total head movement for FCFS scheduling for given I/O blocks 98, 183, 37, 122, 14, 124, 65, 67, where head is initially at cylinder 53 is 640.
If the disk head is initially at cylinder 53, it will first move from 53 to 98, then to 183, 37, 122, 14, 124/65, and finally to 67, for a total head movement of 640 cylinders.
First come, first served (FCFS) is an operating system process scheduling algorithm and a network routing management mechanism that automatically executes queued requests and processes by the order of their arrival.
First come, first served (FCFS), is the simplest scheduling algorithm. FIFO simply queues processes in the order that they arrive in the ready queue.
