Description: Unilateral scheduling is a process management approach in operating systems that focuses on the needs of a specific type of process, often to the detriment of others. This method is characterized by prioritizing a limited set of tasks, which can result in an unfair allocation of resources for all running processes. In this context, unilateral scheduling can be useful in situations where a specific type of process requires immediate attention, such as in real-time systems where latency is critical. However, this strategy can also lead to inefficiencies and the possibility that other processes remain unattended, which can affect overall system performance. Unilateral scheduling is used in various applications, especially in environments where predictability and quick response are essential. Despite its advantages in certain scenarios, it is crucial to consider its disadvantages, as it can create bottlenecks and impact user experience if not managed properly.
