The PCB holds the most recent instruction pointer of a process while it is actively running on the CPU.

A workload of 5  jobs is being scheduled on a single-cpu system with a timeslice of 1 second.  The jobs do not perform any IO, just compute.  The jobs’ arrival times and lengths are shown in the table below.  If the scheduler has a choice the job that arrives earlier is selected.  If there still is a choice the job that comes first alphabetically is selected.

If your goal is to minimize turnaround time, which non-preemptive algorithm should you choose?

If the scheduler is running the SJF algorithm, what is the average response time of this workload?

In the cooperative approach to limited direct execution, the scheduler waits for a process to perform a system call or voluntarily give up the CPU.
