Description: Time-Based Scheduling is a method of process management in operating systems that allocates CPU time to processes based on how long they have been waiting in the execution queue. This approach aims to optimize processor usage and improve system efficiency by ensuring that processes that have been inactive for longer receive priority in accessing the CPU. Unlike other scheduling methods, such as priority scheduling or batch scheduling, time-based scheduling focuses on wait time, which can help reduce latency and enhance user experience. This method is particularly relevant in environments where multiple processes compete for limited resources, such as multitasking and multiprogramming operating systems. The implementation of time-based scheduling can vary, but it generally involves algorithms that calculate the wait time of each process and adjust CPU time allocation accordingly. This not only improves fairness in resource access but can also contribute to better overall system performance by preventing long-running processes from monopolizing the CPU and allowing other processes to execute more efficiently.
