Description: Static Priority Scheduling is a method of process management in operating systems where each process is assigned a fixed priority that does not change during its execution. This approach allows more important processes to run before less prioritized ones, ensuring that critical tasks receive the necessary attention. The main characteristic of this system is its simplicity, as priority assignment is done only once, at the start of each process. This avoids the complexity of recalculating priorities in real-time, which can be beneficial in systems where predictability and stability are essential. However, this technique also presents disadvantages, such as the risk of starvation for low-priority processes, which may not receive CPU time if higher-priority processes are always in the queue. Despite its limitations, static priority scheduling is used in environments where the workload is predictable and where real-time requirements are critical, such as in embedded systems and various other applications. Its implementation can be seen in real-time operating systems, where determining task priority is crucial for the proper functioning of the system.
