Explain cycle stealing?



Explain cycle stealing?..

Answer / Santosh Kumar Yadav

Cycle Stealing is a scheduling algorithm used in some operating systems, such as Linux. It allows the operating system to preemptively interrupt running tasks (processes or threads) and temporarily allocate their CPU cycles to other ready-to-run tasks. This can help improve system responsiveness and overall throughput by ensuring that all tasks receive adequate processing time.
