OS resource management techniques[edit]

Technique Description
scheduling Scheduling is the method by which work is assigned to resources that complete the work.[3]. There are many different scheduling strategies. The main purposes of scheduling algorithms are to minimize resource starvation and to ensure fairness amongst the parties utilizing the resources[4]
policies Given a particular task, policy refers to what needs to be done (i.e. activities to perform) and mechanism refers to how to do it (i.e. implementation to enforce policy).[5]
multitasking foo
virtual memory foo
paging foo
interrupt foo
polling foo
