Comparative performance analysis of multi dynamic time quantum Round Robin(MDTQRR) algorithm with arrival time

CPU being considered a primary computer resource, its scheduling is central to operating-system design. A thorough performance evaluation of various scheduling algorithms manifests that Round Robin Algorithm is considered as optimal in time shared environment because the static time is equally shared among the processes. We have proposed an efficient technique in the process scheduling algorithm by using dynamic time quantum in Round Robin. Our approach is based on the calculation of time quantum twice in single round robin cycle. Taking into consideration the arrival time, we implement the algorithm. Experimental analysis shows better performance of this improved algorithm over the Round Robin algorithm and the Shortest Remaining Burst Round Robin algorithm. It minimizes the overall number of context switches, average waiting time and average turn-around time. Consequently the throughput and CPU utilization is better.

Characterization of Request Sequences for List Accessing Problem and New Theoretical Results for MTF Algorithm

List Accessing Problem is a well studied research problem in the context of linear search. Input to the list accessing problem is an unsorted linear list of distinct elements along with a sequence of requests, where each request is an access operation on an element of the list. A list accessing algorithm reorganizes the list while processing a request sequence on the list in order to minimize the access cost. Move-To-Front algorithm has been proved to be the best performing list accessing online algorithm till date in the literature. Characterization of the input request sequences corresponding to practical real life situations is a big challenge for the list accessing problem. As far as our knowledge is concerned, no characterization for the request sequences has been done in the literature till date for the list accessing problem. In this paper, we have characterized the request sequences for the list accessing problem based on several factors such as size of the list, size of the request sequence, ordering of elements and frequency of occurrence of elements in the request sequence. We have made a comprehensive study of MTF list accessing algorithm and obtained new theoretical results for our characterized special class of request sequences. Our characterization will open up a new direction of research for empirical analysis of list accessing algorithms for real life inputs.

A New Proposed Cost Model for List Accessing Problem using Buffering

There are many existing well known cost models for the list accessing problem. The standard cost model developed by Sleator and Tarjan is most widely used. In this paper, we have made a comprehensive study of the existing cost models and proposed a new cost model for the list accessing problem. In our proposed cost model, for calculating the processing cost of request sequence using a singly linked list, we consider the access cost, matching cost and replacement cost. The cost of processing a request sequence is the sum of access cost, matching cost and replacement cost. We have proposed a novel method for processing the request sequence which does not consider the rearrangement of the list and uses the concept of buffering, matching, look ahead and flag bit.

Priority Based Dynamic Round Robin (PBDRR) Algorithm with Intelligent Time Slice for Soft Real Time Systems

In this paper, a new variant of Round Robin (RR) algorithm is proposed which is suitable for soft real time systems. RR algorithm performs optimally in timeshared systems, but it is not suitable for soft real time systems. Because it gives more number of context switches, larger waiting time and larger response time. We have proposed a novel algorithm, known as Priority Based Dynamic Round Robin Algorithm(PBDRR),which calculates intelligent time slice for individual processes and changes after every round of execution. The proposed scheduling algorithm is developed by taking dynamic time quantum concept into account. Our experimental results show that our proposed algorithm performs better than algorithm in [8] in terms of reducing the number of context switches, average waiting time and average turnaround time.

An Improved Move-To-Front(IMTF) Off-line Algorithm for the List Accessing Problem

For the List Accessing Problem, Move-To-Front(MTF) algorithm has been proved to be the best performing online list accessing algorithm till date in the literature[10]. In this paper, we have made a comprehensive analysis of MTF algorithm and developed an Improved-MTF (IMTF) offline algorithm. We have generated two new types of data set and devise a new method of experimental analysis for our proposed algorithm. Our experimental analysis shows that IMTF is performing better than MTF algorithm.

A New Proposed Dynamic Quantum with Re-Adjusted Round Robin Scheduling Algorithm and Its Performance Analysis

Scheduling is the central concept used frequently in Operating System. It helps in choosing the processes for execution. Round Robin (RR) is one of the most widely used CPU scheduling algorithm. But, its performance degrades with respect to context switching, which is an overhead and it occurs during each scheduling. Overall performance of the system depends on choice of an optimal time quantum, so that context switching can be reduced. In this paper, we have proposed a new variant of RR scheduling algorithm, known as Dynamic Quantum with Readjusted Round Robin (DQRRR) algorithm. We have experimentally shown that performance of DQRRR is better than RR by reducing number of context switching, average waiting time and average turn around time.

A secured Cryptographic Hashing Algorithm

Cryptographic hash functions for calculating the message digest of a message has been in practical use as an effective measure to maintain message integrity since a few decades. This message digest is unique, irreversible and avoids all types of collisions for any given input string. The message digest calculated from this algorithm is propagated in the communication medium along with the original message from the sender side and on the receiver side integrity of the message can be verified by recalculating the message digest of the received message and comparing the two digest values. In this paper we have designed and developed a new algorithm for calculating the message digest of any message and implemented t using a high level programming language. An experimental analysis and comparison with the existing MD5 hashing algorithm, which is predominantly being used as a cryptographic hashing tool, shows this algorithm to provide more randomness and greater strength from intrusion attacks. In this algorithm the plaintext message string is converted into binary string and fragmented into blocks of 128 bits after being padded with user defined padding bits. Then using a pseudo random number generator a key is generated for each block and operated with the respective block by a bitwise operator. This process is terated for the whole message and finally a fixed length message digest is obtained.
