EXPERIMENT 1

OBJECTIVE
Write a C program to simulate the following non-preemptive CPU scheduling algorithms to find turnaround time
and waiting time for the above problem.
a) FCFS b) SJF c) Round Robin d) Priority

DESCRIPTION
Assume all the processes arrive at the same time.

FCFS CPU SCHEDULING ALGORITHM

For FCFS scheduling algorithm, read the number of processes/jobs in the system, their CPU burst times. The
scheduling is performed on the basis of arrival time of the processes irrespective of their other parameters. Each
process will be executed according to its arrival time. Calculate the waiting time and turnaround time of each of
the processes accordingly.

SJF CPU SCHEDULING ALGORITHM

For SJF scheduling algorithm, read the number of processes/jobs in the system, their CPU burst times. Arrange
all the jobs in order with respect to their burst times. There may be two jobs in queue with the same execution
time, and then FCFS approach is to be performed. Each process will be executed according to the length of its
burst time. Then calculate the waiting time and turnaround time of each of the processes accordingly.

ROUND ROBIN CPU SCHEDULING ALGORITHM

For round robin scheduling algorithm, read the number of processes/jobs in the system, their CPU burst times,
and the size of the time slice. Time slices are assigned to each process in equal portions and in circular order,
handling all processes execution. This allows every process to get an equal chance. Calculate the waiting time
and turnaround time of each of the processes accordingly.

PRIORITY CPU SCHEDULING ALGORITHM

For priority scheduling algorithm, read the number of processes/jobs in the system, their CPU burst times, and
the priorities. Arrange all the jobs in order with respect to their priorities. There may be two jobs in queue with
the same priority, and then FCFS approach is to be performed. Each process will be executed according to its
priority. Calculate the waiting time and turnaround time of each of the processes accordingly.

 EXPERIMENT 2
OBJECTIVE
*Write a C program to simulate multi-level queue scheduling algorithm considering the following scenario. All
the processes in the system are divided into two categories – system processes and user processes. System
processes are to be given higher priority than user processes. The priority of each process ranges from 1 to 3.
Use fixed priority scheduling for all the processes.

DESCRIPTION
Multi-level queue scheduling algorithm is used in scenarios where the processes can be classified into groups
based on property like process type, CPU time, IO access, memory size, etc. In a multi-level queue scheduling
algorithm, there will be 'n' number of queues, where 'n' is the number of groups the processes are classified
into. Each queue will be assigned a priority and will have its own scheduling algorithm like round-robin
scheduling or FCFS. For the process in a queue to execute, all the queues of priority higher than it should be
empty, meaning the process in those high priority queues should have completed its execution. In this
scheduling algorithm, once assigned to a queue, the process will not move to any other queues.

 EXPERIMENT 3
OBJECTIVE
Write a C program to simulate the following file allocation strategies.
a) Sequential b) Linked c) ) Indexed

DESCRIPTION
A file is a collection of data, usually stored on disk. As a logical entity, a file enables to divide data into
meaningful groups. As a physical entity, a file should be considered in terms of its organization. The term "file
organization" refers to the way in which data is stored in a file and, consequently, the method(s) by which it can
be accessed.

SEQUENTIAL FILE ALLOCATION

In this file organization, the records of the file are stored one after another both physically and logically. That is,
record with sequence number 16 is located just after the 15th record. A record of a sequential file can only be
accessed by reading all the previous records.

LINKED FILE ALLOCATION

With linked allocation, each file is a linked list of disk blocks; the disk blocks may be scattered anywhere on the
disk. The directory contains a pointer to the first and last blocks of the file. Each block contains a pointer to the
next block.

INDEXED FILE ALLOCATION

Indexed file allocation strategy brings all the pointers together into one location: an index block. Each file has its
th th
own index block, which is an array of disk-block addresses. The i entry in the index block points to the i block
th
of the file. The directory contains the address of the index block. To find and read the i block, the pointer in the
th
i index-block entry is used.

 EXPERIMENT 4

OBJECTIVE
Write a C program to simulate the MVT and MFT memory management techniques

DESCRIPTION
MFT (Multiprogramming with a Fixed number of Tasks) is one of the old memory management techniques in
which the memory is partitioned into fixed size partitions and each job is assigned to a partition. The memory
assigned to a partition does not change. MVT (Multiprogramming with a Variable number of Tasks) is the
memory management technique in which each job gets just the amount of memory it needs. That is, the
partitioning of memory is dynamic and changes as jobs enter and leave the system. MVT is a more ``efficient''
user of resources. MFT suffers with the problem of internal fragmentation and MVT suffers with external
fragmentation.

 EXPERIMENT 5
OBJECTIVE
*Write a C program to simulate the following contiguous memory allocation techniques
a) Worst-fit b) Best-fit c) First-fit

DESCRIPTION
One of the simplest methods for memory allocation is to divide memory into several fixed-sized partitions. Each
partition may contain exactly one process. In this multiple-partition method, when a partition is free, a process is
selected from the input queue and is loaded into the free partition. When the process terminates, the partition
becomes available for another process. The operating system keeps a table indicating which parts of memory
are available and which are occupied. Finally, when a process arrives and needs memory, a memory section
large enough for this process is provided. When it is time to load or swap a process into main memory, and if
there is more than one free block of memory of sufficient size, then the operating system must decide which
free block to allocate. Best-fit strategy chooses the block that is closest in size to the request. First-fit chooses
the first available block that is large enough. Worst-fit chooses the largest available block.

OBJECTIVE
Write a C program to simulate paging technique of memory management.

DESCRIPTION
In computer operating systems, paging is one of the memory management schemes by which a computer stores
and retrieves data from the secondary storage for use in main memory. In the paging memory-management
scheme, the operating system retrieves data from secondary storage in same-size blocks called pages. Paging is a
memory-management scheme that permits the physical address space a process to be noncontiguous. The basic
method for implementing paging involves breaking physical memory into fixed-sized blocks called frames and
breaking logical memory into blocks of the same size called pages. When a process is to be executed, its pages
are loaded into any available memory frames from their source.

OBJECTIVE
Write a C program to simulate the following file organization techniques
a) Single level directory b) Two level directory c) Hierarchical

DESCRIPTION
The directory structure is the organization of files into a hierarchy of folders. In a single-level directory system,
all the files are placed in one directory. There is a root directory which has all files. It has a simple architecture
and there are no sub directories. Advantage of single level directory system is that it is easy to find a file in the
directory. In the two-level directory system, each user has own user file directory (UFD). The system maintains a
master block that has one entry for each user. This master block contains the addresses of the directory of the
users. When a user job starts or a user logs in, the system's master file directory (MFD) is searched. When a user
refers to a particular file, only his own UFD is searched. This effectively solves the name collision problem and
isolates users from one another. Hierarchical directory structure allows users to create their own subdirectories
and to organize their files accordingly. A tree is the most common directory structure. The tree has a root
directory, and every file in the system has a unique path name. A directory (or subdirectory) contains a set of
files or subdirectories.

 EXPERIMENT 8
OBJECTIVE
Write a C program to simulate Bankers algorithm for the purpose of deadlock avoidance.

DESCRIPTION
In a multiprogramming environment, several processes may compete for a finite number of resources. A process
requests resources; if the resources are not available at that time, the process enters a waiting state.
Sometimes, a waiting process is never again able to change state, because the resources it has requested are
held by other waiting processes. This situation is called a deadlock. Deadlock avoidance is one of the techniques
for handling deadlocks. This approach requires that the operating system be given in advance additional
information concerning which resources a process will request and use during its lifetime. With this additional
knowledge, it can decide for each request whether or not the process should wait. To decide whether the
current request can be satisfied or must be delayed, the system must consider the resources currently available,
the resources currently allocated to each process, and the future requests and releases of each process.
Banker’s algorithm is a deadlock avoidance algorithm that is applicable to a system with multiple instances of
each resource type.

OBJECTIVE
*Write a C program to simulate disk scheduling algorithms
a) FCFS b) SCAN c) C-SCAN

DESCRIPTION
One of the responsibilities of the operating system is to use the hardware efficiently. For the disk drives, meeting
this responsibility entails having fast access time and large disk bandwidth. Both the access time and the
bandwidth can be improved by managing the order in which disk I/O requests are serviced which is called as disk
scheduling. The simplest form of disk scheduling is, of course, the first-come, first-served (FCFS) algorithm. This
algorithm is intrinsically fair, but it generally does not provide the fastest service. In the SCAN algorithm, the disk
arm starts at one end, and moves towards the other end, servicing requests as it reaches each cylinder, until it
gets to the other end of the disk. At the other end, the direction of head movement is reversed, and servicing
continues. The head continuously scans back and forth across the disk. C-SCAN is a variant of SCAN designed to
provide a more uniform wait time. Like SCAN, C-SCAN moves the head from one end of the disk to the other,
servicing requests along the way. When the head reaches the other end, however, it immediately returns to the
beginning of the disk without servicing any requests on the return trip

OBJECTIVE
Write a C program to simulate page replacement algorithms
a) FIFO b) LRU c) LFU

DESCRIPTION
Page replacement is basic to demand paging. It completes the separation between logical memory and physical
memory. With this mechanism, an enormous virtual memory can be provided for programmers on a smaller
physical memory. There are many different page-replacement algorithms. Every operating system probably has
its own replacement scheme. A FIFO replacement algorithm associates with each page the time when that page
was brought into memory. When a page must be replaced, the oldest page is chosen. If the recent past is used
as an approximation of the near future, then the page that has not been used for the longest period of time can
be replaced. This approach is the Least Recently Used (LRU) algorithm. LRU replacement associates with each
page the time of that page's last use. When a page must be replaced, LRU chooses the page that has not been
used for the longest period of time. Least frequently used (LFU) page-replacement algorithm requires that the
page with the smallest count be replaced. The reason for this selection is that an actively used page should have
a large reference count.

OBJECTIVE
*Write a C program to simulate page replacement algorithms
a) Optimal

DESCRIPTION
Optimal page replacement algorithm has the lowest page-fault rate of all algorithms and will never suffer from
Belady's anomaly. The basic idea is to replace the page that will not be used for the longest period of time. Use
of this page-replacement algorithm guarantees the lowest possible page fault rate for a fixed number of frames.
Unfortunately, the optimal page-replacement algorithm is difficult to implement, because it requires future
knowledge of the reference string.

OBJECTIVE
*Write a C program to simulate producer-consumer problem using semaphores.

DESCRIPTION
Producer-consumer problem, is a common paradigm for cooperating processes. A producer process produces
information that is consumed by a consumer process. One solution to the producer-consumer problem uses
shared memory. To allow producer and consumer processes to run concurrently, there must be available a
buffer of items that can be filled by the producer and emptied by the consumer. This buffer will reside in a
region of memory that is shared by the producer and consumer processes. A producer can produce one item
while the consumer is consuming another item. The producer and consumer must be synchronized, so that the
consumer does not try to consume an item that has not yet been produced.

PROGRAM
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int buffer[10], bufsize, in, out, produce, consume, choice=0;

OBJECTIVE
*Write a C program to simulate the concept of Dining-Philosophers problem.

DESCRIPTION
The dining-philosophers problem is considered a classic synchronization problem because it is an example of a
large class of concurrency-control problems. It is a simple representation of the need to allocate several
resources among several processes in a deadlock-free and starvation-free manner. Consider five philosophers
who spend their lives thinking and eating. The philosophers share a circular table surrounded by five chairs, each
belonging to one philosopher. In the center of the table is a bowl of rice, and the table is laid with five single
chopsticks. When a philosopher thinks, she does not interact with her colleagues. From time to time, a
philosopher gets hungry and tries to pick up the two chopsticks that are closest to her (the chopsticks that are
between her and her left and right neighbors). A philosopher may pick up only one chopstick at a time.
Obviously, she cam1ot pick up a chopstick that is already in the hand of a neighbor. When a hungry philosopher
has both her chopsticks at the same time, she eats without releasing her chopsticks. When she is finished eating,
she puts down both of her chopsticks and starts thinking again. The dining-philosophers problem may lead to a
deadlock situation and hence some rules have to be framed to avoid the occurrence of deadlock.
