Scheduling Algorithms

Comprehensive guide to scheduling algorithms spanning operating systems, parallel/distributed systems, cloud computing, real-time systems, and machine learning-based approaches.

"Scheduling is the art of allocating scarce resources to competing demands over time."

1. When to Use

• Designing OS process/thread schedulers
• Allocating tasks in HPC clusters or cloud environments
• Optimizing workflow execution (DAGs, task graphs)
• Research on scheduling optimization and comparison
• Real-time embedded systems with deadlines
• Container orchestration and resource management
