What is starvation and aging?



What is starvation and aging?..

Answer / Shameem Ahamad

Starvation: A situation in a computer system where a process is not getting enough resources to run efficiently due to the scheduling policy, leading to an increase in its waiting time. It can cause the process to remain blocked indefinitely if other higher priority processes are always selected for execution.

Aging: A technique used to address starvation by dynamically adjusting the priorities of processes over time. In aging, the priority of a long-running process is gradually increased, allowing it to get more CPU cycles and reducing its waiting time.
