Description: The Multilevel Feedback Queue is a scheduling algorithm that allows operating systems to manage task execution efficiently. This approach is based on creating multiple priority queues, where each queue can have different priority levels and waiting times. Processes are assigned to these queues based on their behavior and requirements, meaning they can move between them depending on their CPU usage and waiting time. This flexibility allows processes that require more attention, such as interactive ones, to receive preferential treatment, while background processes can be relegated to lower-priority queues. The Multilevel Feedback Queue is particularly useful in multitasking environments, where multiple processes compete for limited resources. Its design aims to balance fairness and efficiency, ensuring that all processes have the opportunity to execute without the more demanding ones monopolizing the CPU. This algorithm is fundamental in modern CPU scheduling, as it allows dynamic process management, adapting to the changing needs of the system and improving the end-user experience.
