Description: Redundant scheduling is an approach to resource management in computing systems that seeks to ensure reliability and availability of processes by including redundant elements. This method is based on the premise that by incorporating additional or alternative components, the risks of failures are minimized and operational continuity is enhanced. In the context of CPU schedulers, redundant scheduling allows for another process or resource to take over the workload in case a process fails or becomes inefficient, without interrupting service. This strategy is particularly relevant in critical environments where constant availability is essential, such as in industrial control systems, data servers, and real-time applications. The main features of redundant scheduling include constant monitoring of process states, the ability for quick switching between resources, and the implementation of algorithms that optimize the use of available resources. In summary, redundant scheduling is a proactive approach that seeks not only to prevent failures but also to ensure that computing systems operate efficiently and continuously, even in the face of unforeseen events.
