Description: Active Queue Management is a technique used in process scheduling that focuses on the efficient management of task queues waiting to be executed by the CPU. Its main objective is to maximize CPU utilization and minimize process wait times. This technique allows operating systems and applications to dynamically manage the priority of queued processes, adjusting their execution order based on various factors such as wait time, assigned priority, or the nature of the process. Through scheduling algorithms, Active Queue Management can adapt to different workloads across diverse environments, ensuring that critical processes receive priority attention. Additionally, this technique is essential for maintaining quality of service in scenarios where multiple processes compete for limited resources, such as servers and real-time systems. Implementing Active Queue Management not only improves system efficiency but also contributes to a smoother user experience by reducing response times and optimizing overall system performance.
