AI Summary

An AI-generated summary of this video lecture.

This lecture demonstrates how to calculate Average Turnaround Time (TAT) and Average Waiting Time (WT) using the First Come First Serve (FCFS) scheduling algorithm. The instructor works through two practice problems on a whiteboard, using a table with columns for Process Number, Arrival Time (AT), Burst Time (BT), Completion Time (CT), TAT = CT - AT, and WT = TAT - BT. For the first problem, processes P0 (AT 0, BT 3), P1 (AT 2, BT 2), and P2 (AT 6, BT 4) are scheduled in arrival order. A Gantt chart shows P0 running from 0 to 3, P1 from 3 to 5, an idle gap from 5 to 6, and P2 from 6 to 10. Completion times are 3, 5, and 10, giving TAT values of 3, 3, and 4, and WT values of 0, 1, and 0. The instructor writes Avg TAT = 10/3 and Avg Waiting Time = 1/3. A second problem uses processes with AT 0, 0, 1 and BT 4, 6, 3. The Gantt chart shows P0 from 0 to 4, P1 from 4 to 10, and P2 from 10 to 13, with CT values 4, 10, 13, TAT values 4, 10, 12, and WT values 0, 4, 9. The instructor writes Avg TAT = 24/3 and Avg WT = 13/3. Ready and Run state diagrams are used to track which processes are waiting and which is executing.

  1. 0:00 – 2:00 00:00-02:00

    The whiteboard displays the question: 'Calculate the Average Turnaround Time (TAT) and Average Waiting Time (WT) using the FCFS (First Come First Serve) Scheduling Algorithm.' A table is set up with columns P. No, Arrival Time (AT), Burst Time (BT), Completion Time (CT), TAT = CT - AT, and WT = TAT - BT. Rows show P0 (AT 0, BT 3), P1 (AT 2, BT 2), P2 (AT 6, BT 4), and an empty Average row. The instructor begins drawing a green Gantt chart below the table and labels Ready and Run states in a diagram.

  2. 2:00 – 5:00 02:00-05:00

    The instructor builds the Gantt chart for the first problem: P0 runs from 0 to 3, P1 from 3 to 5, an idle gap is marked in red from 5 to 6, and P2 runs from 6 to 10. Time markers 3, 5, and 6 are written beneath the chart. He then fills the table with pink values: CT 3, 5, 10 and TAT 3, 3, 4. Red checkmarks and circles mark the AT values 0, 2, 6 and BT values 3, 2, 4, confirming the input data before computing derived columns.

  3. 5:00 – 10:00 05:00-10:00

    The instructor completes the first problem by writing Avg Waiting Time = 1/3 and Avg TAT = 10/3 on the right side of the board, alongside Ready and Run circles containing P0, P1, P2. He then introduces a second problem with a new table headed Prd, AT, BT, CT, TAT, WT showing arrival values 0, 0, 1 and burst values 4, 6, 3. He sketches a green Gantt bar and a two-circle diagram labeled 'Ready P0, P1' and 'Run' with a magenta 'FCFS' label, circling the zero arrival entries for P0 and P1.

  4. 10:00 – 11:01 10:00-11:01

    The second problem is completed on the board. The table shows CT values 4, 10, 13 and a TAT-BT/WT column listing 0, 4, 9. The instructor writes Avg TAT = 24/3 and Avg WT = 13/3. A green Gantt chart at the bottom displays P0, P1, P2 with time markers 4, 10, 13, confirming the execution order P0 (0-4), P1 (4-10), P2 (10-13).

The lecture teaches FCFS scheduling through two worked examples. The method is: (1) list processes by arrival time; (2) draw a Gantt chart showing execution order, including idle gaps when no process is ready; (3) compute CT from the Gantt chart; (4) compute TAT = CT - AT; (5) compute WT = TAT - BT; (6) average TAT and WT across all processes. Key evidence: first problem yields CT 3, 5, 10; TAT 3, 3, 4; WT 0, 1, 0; Avg TAT = 10/3; Avg WT = 1/3. Second problem yields CT 4, 10, 13; TAT 4, 10, 12; WT 0, 4, 9; Avg TAT = 24/3; Avg WT = 13/3. The Ready/Run diagram helps track which processes are waiting versus executing. Idle time in the Gantt chart (e.g., 5 to 6 in the first problem) does not contribute to any process's execution but affects completion times of later processes.
