Production-quality CPU scheduling simulator: FCFS, SJF, SRTF, Priority, Round Robin, MLFQ, EEVDF

Project description

cpusched-ash-win-cpu — CPU Scheduling Simulator

PyPI Python 3.9+ License: MIT

cpusched-ash-win-cpu is a production-quality, zero-dependency Python library for simulating CPU scheduling algorithms. It is designed for operating-systems courses, research, and anyone who needs to compare scheduler behaviour quickly.


Features

Algorithm Type
FCFS Non-preemptive
SJF Non-preemptive
SRTF Preemptive (shortest remaining time)
Priority Non-preemptive
PriorityPreemptive Preemptive
Round Robin Preemptive (configurable quantum)
MLFQ Preemptive (configurable levels + boost)
EEVDF Preemptive (Linux 6.6+ default scheduler)

Metrics computed:

  • Waiting time, Turnaround time, Response time (per-process + averages)
  • CPU utilization
  • Throughput (processes per time unit)

Output formats:

  • Text Gantt chart
  • Self-contained HTML Gantt chart
  • CSV export (process list, metrics, Gantt)

Installation

pip install cpusched-ash-win-cpu

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/example/cpusched-ash-win-cpu
cd cpusched-ash-win-cpu
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Quick Start

from cpusched import Process, Simulator

processes = [
    Process("P1", arrival_time=0, burst_time=6, priority=2),
    Process("P2", arrival_time=2, burst_time=8, priority=1),
    Process("P3", arrival_time=4, burst_time=7, priority=3),
]

sim = Simulator(processes)

# Run a single algorithm
result = sim.run("fcfs")
print(result.summary())

# Compare all algorithms
all_results = sim.run_all(rr_quantum=4)
print(sim.compare(all_results))

Output

Usage by Algorithm

FCFS

from cpusched import FCFS, Process

result = FCFS([Process("P1", 0, 6), Process("P2", 2, 4)]).run()

SJF / SRTF

from cpusched import SJF, SRTF

result_sjf  = SJF(processes).run()
result_srtf = SRTF(processes).run()

Priority (non-preemptive and preemptive)

from cpusched import Priority, PriorityPreemptive

result = Priority(processes).run()            # non-preemptive
result = PriorityPreemptive(processes).run()  # preemptive

Lower priority value = higher urgency.

Round Robin

from cpusched import RoundRobin

result = RoundRobin(processes, quantum=4).run()

MLFQ

from cpusched import MLFQ

result = MLFQ(
    processes,
    quantums=[8, 16, 32],   # per-level time quanta
    boost_interval=50,       # 0 = no boost (starvation prevention disabled)
).run()

EEVDF (Linux 6.6+ default)

from cpusched import EEVDF

result = EEVDF(processes, quantum=8).run()

CSV Import / Export

from cpusched import load_processes_csv, save_result_csv, save_gantt_csv

# Load processes from a CSV file
processes = load_processes_csv("processes.csv")

# CSV format
# pid,arrival_time,burst_time,priority
# P1,0,6,2
# P2,2,8,1

# Export metrics
save_result_csv(result, "metrics.csv")

# Export Gantt entries
save_gantt_csv(result, "gantt.csv")

Gantt Chart Rendering

from cpusched import GanttRenderer

renderer = GanttRenderer(result)

# Text chart
print(renderer.text())

# Save HTML chart (self-contained, open in any browser)
renderer.save_html("gantt.html")

Command-Line Interface

# Built-in demo with 5 sample processes
cpusched demo

# Run FCFS on your own CSV
cpusched run --file procs.csv --algo fcfs

# Run all algorithms and compare
cpusched run --file procs.csv --all --quantum 4

# Export to HTML Gantt + CSV metrics
cpusched run --file procs.csv --algo rr --quantum 4 \
    --html gantt.html --export metrics.csv

# Aliases accepted
cpusched run --file procs.csv --algo priority_preemptive
cpusched run --file procs.csv --algo round_robin --quantum 3
