The ______ occurs in first-come-first-served scheduling when a process with a long CPU burst occupies the CPU.
A) dispatch latency
B) waiting time
C) convoy effect
D) system-contention scope

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The convoy effect occurs in first-come-first-served scheduling when a long CPU burst process occupies the CPU, causing other shorter CPU burst processes to wait for a longer period, leading to a convoy of processes waiting for the CPU. This results in a longer average waiting time for all the processes in the queue. A) Dispatch latency is the time taken to switch from one process to another, B) Waiting time is the time a process spends in the ready queue waiting for the CPU, and D) System-contention scope refers to the number of processors or cores contending for shared resources.
