Which of the following is not an optimization criterion in the design of a CPU scheduling algorithm?
- A.
Minimum CPU utilization
- B.
Maximum throughput
- C.
Minimum turnaround time
- D.
Minimum waiting time
Attempted by 403 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
CPU scheduling optimization criteria typically aim to maximize CPU utilization, not minimize it. Common goals include maximizing throughput, minimizing turnaround time, and minimizing waiting time. Since 'Minimum CPU utilization' contradicts standard scheduling objectives, it is not a valid optimization criterion.
