Why MLFQ Was Way Ahead of Its Time
The article discusses the Multi Level Feedback Queue (MLFQ) scheduling algorithm and its advantages over traditional algorithms. MLFQ is highlighted as a more efficient alternative that addresses issues like starvation and inefficiency found in other scheduling methods. The author provides a detailed explanation of MLFQ's implementation and its operational rules.
- ▪MLFQ is considered one of the greatest scheduling algorithms due to its efficiency.
- ▪Unlike First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) and Round Robin (RR), MLFQ prioritizes processes based on their needs and performance.
- ▪The article includes a C code implementation of MLFQ, demonstrating its structure and operational rules.

What I am referring to is MLFQ (Multi Level Feedback Queue). Now a FCFS is fine..
