First Come First Serve Scheduling Algorithm in C with Gantt Chart

First Come First Serve is a CPU scheduling algorithm. In this algorithm, Jobs are executed on First Come First Serve basis.That is, the job that comes first, executes first. Although this algorithm is easy to understand and easy to implement, it gives poor performance as Average Waiting Time is high.

Here is a C implementation of the FCFS algorithm. Arrival time of each process is assumed 0 in this program.


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define MAX 100

typedef struct
{
    int pid;
    int burst_time;
    int waiting_time;
    int turnaround_time;
} Process;

void print_table(Process p[], int n);
void print_gantt_chart(Process p[], int n);

int main()
{
    Process p[MAX];
    int i, j, n;
    int sum_waiting_time = 0, sum_turnaround_time;
    printf("Enter total number of process: ");
    scanf("%d", &n);
    printf("Enter burst time for each process:\n");
    for(i=0; i<n; i++) {
        p[i].pid = i+1;
        printf("P[%d] : ", i+1);
        scanf("%d", &p[i].burst_time);
        p[i].waiting_time = p[i].turnaround_time = 0;
    }

    // calculate waiting time and turnaround time
    p[0].turnaround_time = p[0].burst_time;

    for(i=1; i<n; i++) {
        p[i].waiting_time = p[i-1].waiting_time + p[i-1].burst_time;
        p[i].turnaround_time = p[i].waiting_time + p[i].burst_time;
    }

    // calculate sum of waiting time and sum of turnaround time
    for(i=0; i<n; i++) {
            sum_waiting_time += p[i].waiting_time;
            sum_turnaround_time += p[i].turnaround_time;
    }

    // print table
    puts(""); // Empty line
    print_table(p, n);
    puts(""); // Empty Line
    printf("Total Waiting Time      : %-2d\n", sum_waiting_time);
    printf("Average Waiting Time    : %-2.2lf\n", (double)sum_waiting_time / (double) n);
    printf("Total Turnaround Time   : %-2d\n", sum_turnaround_time);
    printf("Average Turnaround Time : %-2.2lf\n", (double)sum_turnaround_time / (double) n);

    // print Gantt chart
    puts(""); // Empty line
    puts("          GANTT CHART          ");
    puts("          ***********          ");
    print_gantt_chart(p, n);
    return 0;
}


void print_table(Process p[], int n)
{
    int i;

    puts("+-----+------------+--------------+-----------------+");
    puts("| PID | Burst Time | Waiting Time | Turnaround Time |");
    puts("+-----+------------+--------------+-----------------+");

    for(i=0; i<n; i++) {
        printf("| %2d  |     %2d     |      %2d      |        %2d       |\n"
               , p[i].pid, p[i].burst_time, p[i].waiting_time, p[i].turnaround_time );
        puts("+-----+------------+--------------+-----------------+");
    }

}


void print_gantt_chart(Process p[], int n)
{
    int i, j;
    // print top bar
    printf(" ");
    for(i=0; i<n; i++) {
        for(j=0; j<p[i].burst_time; j++) printf("--");
        printf(" ");
    }
    printf("\n|");

    // printing process id in the middle
    for(i=0; i<n; i++) {
        for(j=0; j<p[i].burst_time - 1; j++) printf(" ");
        printf("P%d", p[i].pid);
        for(j=0; j<p[i].burst_time - 1; j++) printf(" ");
        printf("|");
    }
    printf("\n ");
    // printing bottom bar
    for(i=0; i<n; i++) {
        for(j=0; j<p[i].burst_time; j++) printf("--");
        printf(" ");

    // printing the time line
    printf("0");
    for(i=0; i<n; i++) {
        for(j=0; j<p[i].burst_time; j++) printf("  ");
        if(p[i].turnaround_time > 9) printf("\b"); // backspace : remove 1 space
        printf("%d", p[i].turnaround_time);

    }
    printf("\n");
