Frequently Asked Question on Starvation and Aging
How is starvation avoided in OS?
Ageing is a method that raises the priority level of low-priority processes over a certain amount of time in order to prevent starvation in the operating system. As a result, both the high priority processes and the lowest priority processes will be able to continue existing and operating.
Can aging lead to priority inversion issues?
Yes aging leads to priority inversion problem
Can aging be used with real-time systems?
Real-time systems can benefit from the use of ageing, but its implementation must be carefully planned to save processing cost and guarantee that problems with priority inversion do not interfere with real-time requirements.
Starvation and Aging in Operating Systems
Starvation occurs when a process in the OS runs out of resources because other processes are using it. This is a problem with resource management while Operating systems employ aging as a scheduling approach to keep them from starving. It is one of the most common scheduling algorithms in batch systems. Each process is assigned a priority. The process with the highest priority is to be executed first and so on. Here we will be discussing a major problem related to priority scheduling and its solution.
