Abstract

This paper presents the design and development of a CPU scheduler simulator using SDL. This simulator enables us to study the behavior of one level and multilevel queue scheduling algorithms (including the real-time ones), and to obtain performance statistics for algorithm evaluation. In addition, a multi-platform graphical user interface, based on the Tcl/Tk language, has been developed to simplify the simulator use. The paper also presents our experiences in using SDL for the specification of CPU scheduling algorithms for educational purposes.
