To run, set your working directory to the root of the project folder then
execute make. This will generate an executable binary with the
filepath ./bin/scheduler.
Testing can be done by running python3 tests/acceptance.py in the root of the
project folder. A report containing the number of passed acceptance tests
will be printed to stdout. Should compilation of the scheduler fail, the script
will notify the user.
The scheduler program requires that a file, called processes.in, be present
in the current working directory. This file must conform to the following
format:
processcount 2 # Read 5 processes
runfor 15 # Run for 15 time units
use rr # Can be fcfs, sjf, or rr
quantum 2 # Time quantum – only if using rr
process name P1 arrival 3 burst
process name P2 arrival 0 burst 9
end
As you can see, lines can include comments! Simply prefix your comment with a hashtag (i.e. #). All text after the hashtag will be ignored. Although the quantum is only used by the round-robin scheduler, it is advised that the quantum line simply be commented out when not in use.
After building the executable binary (see Building), and including
a file called processes.in in your current working directory
(see Input Format), you can run the program simply by executing
./bin/scheduler from the command line. For illustrative purposes:
~/Code/process-scheduler master*
❯ ls -a
. .clang_complete .gitignore bin makefile src
.. .git README.md include processes.in test
~/Code/process-scheduler master*
❯ make
mkdir -p bin
gcc -std=gnu99 src/* -I include -o ./bin/scheduler
~/Code/process-scheduler master*
❯ ./bin/scheduler
