Program Plan Intro

Disk scheduling:

  • In a computer, multiple processes run over the same time.
  • To handle this multiple processes, the operating system decides which process has to be executed first. This technique is called as disk scheduling.
  • There are different types of scheduling algorithms. They are as follows:
    • First-come, First-served (FCFS)
    • Shortest-Seek-Time-First (SSTF)
    • SCAN

Shortest-Seek-Time-First disk scheduling algorithm (SSTF):

  • This algorithm processes the requests based upon the shortest distance.
  • The algorithm first moves the head to the shortest distance it need to satisfy from the pending requests.
  • The head movement changes the directions after each request is processed.
