⚙️ Processor Management in OS 🧠

Processor Management (or CPU Scheduling) decides which process uses the CPU and when, ensuring smooth and fair execution.

🔄 Types of CPU Scheduling

💥 Preemptive Scheduling –
👉 OS can interrupt a running process to give CPU to another (higher priority or ready) process.
✨ Example: Round Robin, SRTF

🧩 Non-Preemptive Scheduling –
👉 Once a process gets CPU, it runs till completion or waits voluntarily.
✨ Example: FCFS, SJF

🖥️ Goal: Maximize CPU usage ⚡, reduce waiting time ⏳, and keep the system responsive 💻
