Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach utilizing the GTK3 toolkit to simulate and visualize context switching in operating systems, focusing particularly on Round Robin scheduling. Context switching, crucial for multitasking efficiency, involves saving and restoring process states. Through dynamic transitions between processes, the framework elucidates Round Robin's CPU resource allocation, aiding in understanding its efficiency and fairness. The visualization serves as a valuable tool for researchers, educators, and practitioners, offering insights into CPU scheduling intricacies. Additionally, it provides a platform for experimentation, enabling the exploration of scheduling performance under various parameters. Overall, this work advances comprehension of CPU scheduling algorithms and offers a practical tool for real-world scenario analysis.
