Scheduling Metrics

Posted on

When deciding how to schedule processes, there are two main metrics that we might want to optimise for.

Turnaround time

The time it takes from the arrival of a process in the queue to its completion.

Response time

The time it takes from the arrival of a process in the queue to it being scheduled for the first time.
