Project Goals

Alarm Clock:
- Implement a mechanism to allow threads to wake up at specific times.
- Ensure that threads are correctly unblocked when their alarm time expires.
- Handle thread priority adjustments based on alarm time.
Advanced Scheduler:
- Enhance the default scheduler (round-robin) to support multiple priority levels.
- Implement the Multi-Level Feedback Queue (MLFQ) scheduling algorithm.
- Prioritize threads based on their recent CPU usage and execution history.

Tools Used

Git: Version control system for collaborative development.
Live Share: Collaborative real-time coding sessions.
Bochs(2.6.11) and QEMU: Simulators for testing and debugging Pintos.
