assignment 3 (IT6)

 Overview: In this assignment, you will analyze the process states for your preferred operating system. This analysis will prepare you for the process management requirements of your final project. 

Prompt: To complete the assignment, you will need to: 

 1. Research and then describe in your journal the scheduling algorithm used by your operating system kernel by default. Next, go to the command shell and execute the following command:

 Windows: Execute the command tasklist /v 

 2. In the second part of your journal assignment: 

 a. Describe how the state values (such as “running” or “sleeping”) reported by your operating system relate to the status of threads in Round Robin, First-Come, First-Serve, and Priority-Based scheduling algorithms.  

 b. Make note of any special thread/process reporting data your operating system provides and how it relates to process scheduling. Remember, support for a specific scheduling algorithm is determined by the environment in which your operating system is deployed.
