In the world of operating systems, CPU scheduling algorithms play a crucial role in managing and optimizing the allocation of the CPU’s processing power.

When it comes to non-preemptive scheduling algorithms, there are various types that serve different purposes in ensuring efficient task execution and resource allocation.

In this article, we will explore these different types of non-preemptive CPU scheduling algorithms and their practical applications.

Introduction to Non-Preemptive CPU Scheduling Algorithms

Non-preemptive CPU scheduling algorithms, as the name suggests, do not allow a running task to be interrupted by another task. The CPU remains allocated to a process until it voluntarily releases it or completes its execution. This approach provides simplicity and predictability but may lead to suboptimal resource utilization in dynamic environments.
