GATE | GATE-CS-2004 | Question 12
Consider an operating system capable of loading and executing a single sequential user process at a time. The disk head scheduling algorithm used is First Come First Served (FCFS). If FCFS is replaced by Shortest Seek Time First (SSTF), claimed by the vendor to give 50% better benchmark results, what is the expected improvement in the I/O performance of user programs?
(A) 50%
(B) 40%
(C) 25%
(D) 0%
Answer: (D)
Explanation: Since Operating System can execute a single sequential user process at a time, the disk is accessed in FCFS manner always. The OS never has a choice to pick an IO from multiple IOs as there is always one IO at a time
