<p>This paper introduce a new approach for scheduling algorithms which aim to improve real time operating system CPU performance. This new approach of CPU Scheduling algorithm is based on the combination of round-robin (RR) and Priority based (PB) scheduling algorithms. This solution maintains the advantage of simple round robin scheduling algorithm, which is reducing starvation and integrates the advantage of priority scheduling. The proposed algorithm implements the concept of time quantum and assigning as well priority index to the processes. Existing round robin CPU scheduling algorithm cannot be dedicated to real time operating system due to their large waiting time, large response time, large turnaround time and less throughput. This new algorithm improves all the drawbacks of round robin CPU scheduling algorithm. In addition, this paper presents analysis comparing proposed algorithm with existing round robin scheduling algorithm focusing on average waiting time and average turnaround time.</p>

In most cases, the quantum time length is taken to be fix in all applications that use Round Robin (RR) scheduling algorithm. Many attempts aim to determination of the optimal length of the quantum that results in a small average turnaround time, but the unknown nature of the tasks in the ready queue make the problem more complicated: Considering a large quantum length makes the RR algorithm behave like a First Come First Served (FIFO) scheduling algorithm, and a small quantum length cause high number of contexts switching. In this paper we propose a RR scheduling algorithm based on Neural Network Models for predicting the optimal quantum length which lead to a minimum average turnaround time. The quantum length depends on tasks burst times available in the ready queue. Rather than conventional traditional methods using fixed quantum length, this one giving better results by minimizing the average turnaround time for almost any set of jobs in the ready queue.
