Simulation of Shortest Job First (SJF) CPU scheduling algorithm in C Language

This is a C program to simulate Shortest Job First (SJF) CPU scheduling algorithm. In Shortest Job first CPU scheduling algorithm, the process with  shortest CPU burst time is executed first. The following program is to simulate non preemptive SJF scheduling. Preemptive SJF CPU scheduling algorithm will be discussed in another post.

Program:

#include<stdio.h>
struct process{
int burst,wait,no;
}p[20]={0,0};

Program:
#include<stdio.h>
struct process
{
int burst,wait;
}p[20]={0,0};

Inter Process Communication using Named Pipes - Chat Program in C

In this post, we will see a chat program using named pipes (fifo). Pipes are used for communication between processes. The named pipes are fifos. They enable two way communication unlike ordinary pipes. But they are half duplex, i.e. communication can take place only in one direction at a time. The program is in 3 parts: pipe_creation.c, leftTerminal.c and rightTerminal.c.

pipe_creation.c

#include<stdio.h>
void main()

Creating A Process in Linux (UNIX) - fork() Example Program

The system call fork() is used to  create a new process in UNIX based operating systems and Linux systems. The fork() system call creates a child process when called from a parent process. Unix will make an exact copy of the parent's address space and give it to the child. Therefore, the parent and child processes have separate address spaces. Here is a C program which uses the fork() system call to create a process during execution. The program is commented well for better understanding.

Program

/*The program (parent process) reads an array from the user.
It sorts it in descending order.
