Description: Unfair scheduling occurs when certain processes are consistently prioritized over others, leading to resource starvation. This phenomenon occurs in operating systems and computing environments where multiple tasks are managed simultaneously. In this context, some processes may receive disproportionate attention while others are relegated, preventing their execution or slowing their progress. Unfair scheduling manifests in CPU time allocation, where high-priority processes monopolize resources, leaving low-priority processes without the opportunity to execute. This can result in inefficient system performance and user frustration, especially in critical applications where fairness in resource access is essential. Unfair scheduling not only affects system efficiency but can also have implications for user experience, as processes requiring immediate attention may be hindered by a lack of resources. Therefore, it is crucial for CPU schedulers to implement strategies that minimize the possibility of unfair scheduling, thus ensuring a more equitable and efficient use of system resources.
