Description: Utility scheduling focuses on maximizing the utility of resources according to the needs of running processes. This approach seeks to efficiently allocate CPU cycles to different processes, prioritizing those that require more resources or have a greater impact on overall system performance. Utility scheduling is based on the premise that not all processes have the same importance or urgency, and therefore, they should be treated differently. This type of scheduling allows operating systems to optimize CPU usage, thereby improving user experience and system efficiency. The main characteristics of utility scheduling include continuous evaluation of process needs, dynamic adaptation to changing system conditions, and the ability to prioritize tasks based on their perceived utility. This approach is especially relevant in environments where multiple processes compete for limited resources, such as high-performance computing or multitasking environments, where efficiency and quick response are critical.
