- Process Scheduling: Select all statements below that are true The CPU burst is the amount of time a process obtains the services of a processor as a whole. Arbitration becomes necessary when two processes with equal priority are to be scheduled. Since resource sharing is the main focus of multi-programming, it essential to allow the scheduler to remove (pre-empt) processes from the CPU in response to changing circumstances. 0 When preemptive scheduling is applied, a process is allocated the CPU until it releases it again. The service time is also known as the turnaround time. The short-term scheduler selects which of the ready, in-memory processes is to be executed next.arrow_forwardA program is a set of __________.arrow_forwardFILL IN THE BLANK A common pattern to run a subprogram within a program is first to________ the process and thenexec the subprogramarrow_forward
