Description

This project simulates different process scheduling algorithms including First-Come First-Served (FCFS), Preemptive Shortest Job First (SJF), and Round Robin (RR). The results are displayed in a Tkinter-based GUI, showing the events and process metrics for each scheduler.

Features

• Simulate FCFS, SJF, and RR scheduling algorithms.
• Display scheduling events and process metrics in a user-friendly GUI.
• Easily select input files through a file dialog.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Tkinter (usually included with Python on most systems)

Installation

Ensure Python and Tkinter are installed

• On macOS: Tkinter is included with Python on macOS by default. If you encounter any issues, you can install Tkinter via Homebrew:

  brew install python-tk
  

• On Windows: Tkinter is included with the standard Python distribution. If you encounter any issues, make sure you have Python installed correctly from python.org.

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/thieng101/OS-Schedulers.git
   cd OS-scheduler

2. Run the scheduler script:

   python3 scheduler-gpt.py inputFile.in

   Replace inputFile.in with the correct input file. The output will be written in a file with the same name as the input file but with an ending .out extension.

3. Run the UI script (the file creating UI for the schedulers):

   python3 ui_os.py

   Select the input file: A file dialog will appear. Select the input file with the .in extension.

   ###NOTE Running the ui_os.py won't generate an output file, only displaying in the window.

4. View the results: The scheduling results will be displayed in a tabbed interface. Each tab corresponds to a scheduler and shows the events and process metrics.
