Abstract

The paper introduces the simulation results for a formula for dynamic priority calculation for multilevel priority queue. Priority queues are widely used data structures, especially in operating systems. Some database servers, Oracle for example, use also such a structures. In previous work is introduced a multilevel priority queue, called CMPQ, used in experimentally developed database server. A formula to calculate the next queue to service is also introduced. In order to examine the behaviour of the queue, some simulations of the scheduling algorithm are performed using MatLab. The goal is to assure that even in worst-case situations "starvation" does not occurs.
