Task scheduling
Task scheduling determines the priority to be used in allocating tasks in the READY (execution
enabled) status to the CPU and executing them.
When there are two or more tasks which are put in the READY status, ready queues for CPU
allocation are used to determine the priority for executing the tasks. One of these READY status
tasks is then selected and executed (RUN status).
Only tasks with the same priority ranking are assigned to a given ready queue. Therefore, where
several tasks with differing priority rankings exist, a corresponding number of ready queues are
created. Tasks within a given ready queue are handled on a first come first serve (FCFS) basis. The
task where a READY status is first established has priority. The smaller the number, the higher the
task priority level.

A RUN status task will be moved to the end of the ready queue if placed in a READY status by any
of the following causes:
1) A WAIT status command was executed.
2) The CPU occupation time exceeds a specified time.
3) A task with a higher priority level is put in READY status.
Task 1

NOTE
•
When the prescribed CPU
occupation time elapses,
the active command is
ended, and processing
moves to the next task.
However, if there are no
other tasks of the same
or higher priority (same
or higher ready queue),
the same task will be
executed again.
