• Timer interrupt handled by OS, less frequent

Process creation and termination
• Start CPU scheduling
Process Creation
• When would a new process be created?
– When a user of the computer asks one to be created
• That is, when an existing process asks for one to be created
– Therefore, there is going to be a parent-child relation among processes
– There must be a first process, then - the OS creates it during boot-up
• Who is going to create it? The OS
• What does the OS need to do?
– Needs to create a PCB
• Assign a unique id to the new process
– Bring in the code and data for the new process into RAM
– Move the new process to the ready queue, so the OS can schedule it on the CPU
Process Creation
fork()
• Recall: Processes use system calls to request services from the OS
• OS provides a system call called fork() that a process can use to request the
creation of a new process
• OS creates a new PCB when fork() is called with a unique id for the new process
• The calling process is the parent, the new process is the child
• Then adds the child’s PCB to the ready queue
• The child process is ready to go!
• What code is the child going to execute?
Specifying the Code the
Child should execute
exec()
• Recall: Processes use system calls to request services from the OS
• OS provides a system call called exec() that a process can use to tell
the OS what code it would like to execute
• Once the code and data are loaded into memory, the OS sets the
PC (in the PCB) to the beginning of the child’s code
• What happens to the parent now???
Process Creation:
What happens to the parent?
• The parent could wait for the child to finish
– This is what a shell does
• Or it could go about its business
Process Creation:
Parent wants to wait
• Again, the parent process has to request the
OS via a system call
• The wait() system call
• The OS moves the parent to a waiting queue
• It would be moved to ready again when the
child terminates
Process Creation:
Parent doesn’t want to wait
• Both the parent and the child would run
whenever they are ready
Process Creation
•
Why/when are processes created?
1.
2.
A user wants to run a program
An existing process needs another process to run the
same code
 Why? More parallelism, make use of CPU even when it gets
moved to the waiting state
•
So most OSes initialize the child process to have
the same state as the parent
•
Except the process id and a few other things
RAM
OS
Id=2000
State=ready
PCB of parent
Id=2001
State=ready
PCB of child
1. PCB with new
id created
2. Memory allocated for child
Process
calls fork
Initialized by copying over
from the parent
3. If parent had called wait,
it is moved to a waiting queue
4. If child had called exec,
its memory overwritten
with new code & data
Processes
Parent’s memory
Child’s memory
5. Child added to ready queue,
all set to go now!

Parent Process: Global variable: 2 Stack variable: 20

Process Creation and Termination
C Program Forking Separate Process
int main( )
{
pid_t pid;
/* fork another process */
pid = fork( );
if (pid < 0) { /* error occurred */
fprintf(stderr, "Fork Failed");
exit(-1);
}
else if (pid == 0) { /* child process */
execlp("/bin/ls", "ls", NULL);
}
else { /* parent process */
/* parent will wait for the child to complete */
wait (NULL);
printf ("Child Complete");
exit(0);
}
}
Process Termination
• Process executes last statement and asks the operating system to
delete it (exit)
– Output data from child to parent (via wait)
– Process’ resources are deallocated by operating system
• Parent may terminate execution of children processes (abort)
– Child has exceeded allocated resources
– Task assigned to child is no longer required
– If parent is exiting
• Some operating system do not allow child to continue if its
parent terminates
– All children terminated - cascading termination

• Suppose that the processes arrive in the order: P1 , P2 , P3
The Gantt Chart for the schedule is:
P1
0
P2
24
• Waiting time for P1 = 0; P2 = 24; P3 = 27
• Average waiting time: (0 + 24 + 27)/3 = 17

Shortest-Job-First (SJF) Scheduling
• Associate with each process the length of its next CPU burst. Use these
lengths to schedule the process with the shortest time
• SJF is optimal for avg. waiting time – gives minimum average waiting
time for a given set of processes
– In class: Compute average waiting time for the previous example with SJF
– Prove it (Homework 1, Will be handed out next Friday)
• Two schemes:
– nonpreemptive – once CPU given to the process it cannot be
preempted until completes its CPU burst
– preemptive – if a new process arrives with CPU burst length less
than remaining time of current executing process, preempt. This
scheme is know as the
Shortest-Remaining-Time-First (SRTF)
Choosing the Right Scheduling
Algorithm/Scheduling Criteria
• CPU utilization – keep the CPU as busy as possible
• Throughput – # of processes that complete their execution
per time unit
• Turnaround time – amount of time to execute a particular
process
• Waiting time – amount of time a process has been waiting in
the ready queue
• Response time – amount of time it takes from when a
request was submitted until the first response is produced,
not output (for time-sharing environment)
• Fairness
When is the scheduler invoked?
• CPU scheduling decisions may take place when a process:
1. Switches from running to waiting state
2. Switches from running to ready state
3. Switches from waiting to ready
4. Terminates
• Scheduling only under 1 and 4: nonpreemptive scheduling
• All other scheduling is preemptive
Dispatcher
• Dispatcher module gives control of the CPU to the
process selected by the short-term scheduler; this
involves:
– switching context
– switching to user mode
– jumping to the proper location in the user program to
restart that program
• Dispatch latency – time it takes for the dispatcher to stop
one process and start another running
