In computer science, a multilevel feedback queue is a scheduling algorithm. Scheduling algorithms are designed to have some process running at all times to keep the central processing unit (CPU) busy.
Pinwheel scheduling
In mathematics and computer science, the pinwheel scheduling problem is a problem in real-time scheduling with repeating tasks of unit length and hard constraints on the time between repetitions.

In job shop scheduling and graph drawing, the Coffman–Graham algorithm is an algorithm, named after Edward G. Coffman, Jr. and Ronald Graham, for arranging the elements of a partially ordered set into
Adaptive partition scheduler
Adaptive partition schedulers are a relatively new type of partition scheduler, which in turn is a kind of scheduling algorithm, pioneered with the most recent version of the QNX operating system. Ada
Round-robin scheduling
Round-robin (RR) is one of the algorithms employed by process and network schedulers in computing.As the term is generally used, time slices (also known as time quanta) are assigned to each process in
Processor affinity
Processor affinity, or CPU pinning or "cache affinity", enables the binding and unbinding of a process or a thread to a central processing unit (CPU) or a range of CPUs, so that the process or thread

Process Contention Scope is one of the two basic ways of scheduling threads. Both of them being: processlocal scheduling (known as Process Contention Scope, or Unbound Threads—theMany-to-Many model) a
Coscheduling
Coscheduling is the principle for concurrent systems of scheduling related processes to run on different processors at the same time (in parallel). There are various specific implementations to realiz
Two-level scheduling
Two-level scheduling is a computer science term to describe a method to more efficiently perform process scheduling that involves processes. Consider this problem: A system contains 50 running process
Lottery scheduling
Lottery scheduling is a probabilistic scheduling algorithm for processes in an operating system. Processes are each assigned some number of lottery tickets, and the scheduler draws a random ticket to
Shortest job next
Shortest job next (SJN), also known as shortest job first (SJF) or shortest process next (SPN), is a scheduling policy that selects for execution the waiting process with the smallest execution time.
Deadline-monotonic scheduling
Deadline-monotonic priority assignment is a priority assignment policy used with fixed-priority pre-emptive scheduling. With deadline-monotonic priority assignment, tasks are assigned priorities accor
