Question

Preemptive Shortest Job First

Asked by: microcoop

I am trying to change this to preemptive shortest job first, but I honestly just do not understand what to do. I know that I need to remove the quantum and determine the scheduling based on the next burst length..I think. But I really do not understand it. Can anyone begin to point me in the right direction here. Below is the same code formulated in Preemptive Shortest Job First, except it prompts for a quantum instead of using a formula to figure it out.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

// Struct to represent process

struct process {
  int idno;
  int ready;            // start time
  int run;              // run time
  int remaining;        // time remaining
  int active;           // is process active?
  int finish;           // finish time
};

// Primitive class to represent system clock

class myclock
{
  protected:
    int clock99;        // represent time on clock
                        // clock itself is a predefined function name
  public:
    myclock()  {  clock99 = 0; }
    void setclock( int w ) { clock99 = w; }
    void tick() { clock99++; }
    int gettime() { return clock99; }
};

//  This class represents the processor and the list of jobs waiting
//  for the processor

class processor
{
  protected:
    int maxjobs;        // maximum number of jobs
    int jobsub;         // location of next job to be added, also # of jobs
    int current_id;     // subscript of job currently running
    int previous_id;
    int quantum;        // maximum length of time a job may run
    int elapsed;        // time current job has been running
    process * list;     // list of processes that want to use processor

  public:

    // constructor

    processor( int q, int n)
    {
      maxjobs = n;
      jobsub = 0;
      elapsed = 0;
      current_id = -1;
      previous_id = -1;
      quantum = q;
      list = new process[n];
    }

    // place a single job into a queue

    int insertjob( int id, int start, int run )
    {
      if( jobsub < maxjobs )
        {
          list[jobsub].idno = id;
          list[jobsub].ready = start;
