Starvation takes place when a low-priority process does not get CPU time bcoz of higher priority processes keep coming.
this can be removed by "AGING"
In this A Process waiting for a particular time in queue (Eg:15 min)
Gets its Priority increased by 1.
Eg: If a process has priority 10, then it will reach priority 1 in (15*10)=150 mins. |
