Why choose this project topic?
The practical value of this topic lies in showing how scheduling choices affect competing short and long jobs. It gives a student a demonstrable computing problem, with waiting-time distribution, starvation events and turnaround time providing concrete evidence for a critical project discussion.
How do scheduling policies trade average waiting time against starvation risk?
Agree the available tools, workload size and evaluation criteria with your supervisor; adapt showing how scheduling choices affect competing short and long jobs to a clearly bounded institutional or laboratory setting.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Specify the requirements and assumptions for showing how scheduling choices affect competing short and long jobs.
- 02Replay identical synthetic job traces through round-robin, shortest-job and ageing schedulers, including burst arrivals and imperfect duration estimates.
- 03Evaluate waiting-time distribution, starvation events and turnaround time against a documented baseline and discuss failure cases.
A suggested research approach
Replay identical synthetic job traces through round-robin, shortest-job and ageing schedulers, including burst arrivals and imperfect duration estimates. Record the chosen implementation, dataset construction and repeatable test conditions before comparing waiting-time distribution, starvation events and turnaround time. Keep development and evaluation cases separate where possible, and retain failed cases in the analysis rather than reporting only successful demonstrations.
What you will need
- Synthetic process workloads
- Scheduling policy definitions
- Trace visualisation environment
Keep your project scope clear
The simplified scheduler excludes many kernel effects and should not be presented as an operating system replacement. A project write-up does not supply a working application.
