Abstract: The main purpose of an operating system is to control a group of processes, through a method known as CPU scheduling. The performance and efficiency of multitasking operating systems are determined by the use of a CPU scheduling algorithm. Round-robin scheduling is the best solution for time-shared systems, but it is not ideal for real-time systems as it causes more context shifts, longer wait times, and slower turnaround times. Its performance is mostly determined by the time quantum. Processes cannot have priorities set for them. Round-robin scheduling does not give more critical work greater consideration, which may affect system performance in solving processes. On the other hand, a priority algorithm can resolve processes' priority levels. This means that each process has a priority assigned to it, and processes with highest priority are executed first. If which process should come first and the process waiting time in CPU are not considered, this can cause a starvation problem. In this paper, a new CPU scheduling algorithm called the mix PI-RR algorithm was developed. The proposed algorithm is based on a combination of round-robin (RR) and priority-based (PI) scheduling algorithms for determining which tasks run and which should be waiting. The disadvantages of both round-robin and priority CPU scheduling algorithms are addressed by this novel algorithm. When using the proposed mix PI-RR algorithm, the performance measures indicated improved CPU scheduling. Other processes should not be affected by the CPU's requirements. This algorithm helps the CPU to overcome some of the problems of both algorithms.
