Which Scheduling Algorithm Is Used in Android?
Contents

Android operating system uses O (1) scheduling algorithm as it is based on Linux Kernel 2.6. Therefore the scheduler is names as Completely Fair Scheduler as the processes can schedule within a constant amount of time, regardless of how many processes are running on the operating system [6], [7].

Which scheduling algorithm is used?

Six types of process scheduling algorithms are: First Come First Serve (FCFS), 2) Shortest-Job-First (SJF) Scheduling, 3) Shortest Remaining Time, 4) Priority Scheduling, 5) Round Robin Scheduling, 6) Multilevel Queue Scheduling.

Which scheduling algorithm is best?

The FCFS is better for a small burst time. The SJF is better if the process comes to processor simultaneously. The last algorithm, Round Robin, is better to adjust the average waiting time desired.
