Multi-Level Feedback Queue
Scheduling Algorithm
  • MLFQ builds upon multi-level queue scheduling, offering advanced task handling by dynamically adjusting priorities with feedback mechanisms.
  • MLFQ divides processes into priority levels, ensuring responsiveness for interactive tasks and minimizing turnaround time, even without prior execution duration knowledge.
  • An extended and advanced version of MLQ, MLFQ strikes a balance for both interactive and CPU-intensive tasks, enhancing overall system scheduling efficiency.
