Question

Which scheduler takes their designs at design time?

(a) preemptive scheduler

(b) non preemptive scheduler

(c) dynamic scheduler

(d) static scheduler

This question was addressed to me during an online interview.

The query is from Classification of Scheduling Algorithms in section Embedded Operating System, Middleware and Scheduling of Embedded Systems

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) static scheduler

Best explanation: The static scheduler take their designs at the design time and it also generates tables of start times which are forwarded to a simple dispatcher but the dynamic scheduler takes a decision at the run-time.
