Description: Multi-application scheduling is an approach to resource management in operating systems that coordinates the execution of various applications on a single CPU. This method allows multiple processes to run concurrently, optimizing CPU time usage and improving overall system efficiency. Through scheduling algorithms, the operating system allocates CPU time to each application, ensuring that all have the opportunity to execute without one monopolizing resources. This approach is fundamental in multitasking environments, where users expect multiple applications to function simultaneously, such as in web browsing, document editing, and media playback. Multi-application scheduling not only enhances user experience but also maximizes hardware performance, allowing modern operating systems to effectively handle complex and varied tasks. The main features of this approach include fairness in resource allocation, minimization of wait times, and system responsiveness, resulting in a smoother and more efficient working environment.
