Question

Which of the following schedulers take decisions at run-time?

(a) preemptive scheduler

(b) non preemptive scheduler

(c) dynamic scheduler

(d) static scheduler

I have been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

This intriguing question originated from Classification of Scheduling Algorithms topic in chapter Embedded Operating System, Middleware and Scheduling of Embedded Systems

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) dynamic scheduler

The best explanation: The dynamic schedulers take decisions at run-time and they are quite flexible but generate overhead at run-time whereas static scheduler is the ones in which the scheduler take their designs at the design time.
