This lab is focused on studying the effects of Round-Robin Scheduling. This lab will involve writing a discrete event simulation program to simulate round-robin scheduling. You will then use your simulation to analyze the algorithm. Simulations are often used in computer science to study the behavior of a system in a way that may not be possible with the real system.
1. Read pages 283-289 prior to the first lab session (see Lab Sessions section for dates)
2. Review chapter 7 and your notes on chapter 7 prior to the first lab session.
3. Goto to your cis343 directory and create a lab4 directory.
This lab will take place during 3 sessions:
You will be implementing the simulation environment and analyzing its results. You will be submitting your analysis and results as a word document (you may use charts, tables, graphs, etc). You are required to use the ACM standard guidelines (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html) for your paper. It should be no more than 1-2 pages.
You will also submit your simulation code.
You need to submit this assignment by 8AM March 2nd
