How to implement Round Robin Scheduling Algorithm in ContainerCloudSim?

Cloud Data Center using ContainerCloudSim

Condition for Round Robin Scheduling Algorithm in ContainerCloudSim

  • Description:
    To develop a new ContainerSchedulerRoundRobin extends ContainerScheduler and implements a time-sliced allocation strategy. The core logic involves maintaining a list of active containers and cycling through them in a circular order, allocating the CPU to each container for a fixed time quantum (e.g., 100 ms) before preempting it and moving to the next, which ensures fair resource distribution among all containers and prevents any single container from monopolizing the processor.

    This approach differs from your FCFS model by introducing time-based preemption, requiring you to override methods like updateContainerAllocation to manage the scheduling queue and handle context switching between containers at each time slice interval.
