Scheduling Algorithm

[Encoder]

I was looking for websites that will help me in a computer-related topic I was looking for but cannot find one so I thought I will find some answers here or at least I'll be redirected to some helpul sites. What I'm looking for are these two types of scheduling algorithm: paging and 2-quantum. I don't know if the names are incomplete or they have better known/different names.

Paging is normally related to memory scheduling. I've most often seen the term quantum used in relation to CPU scheduling.

I doubt either one has anything to do with a specific algorithm though. I've never seen 2-quantum used so I can't say what significance it may have.


But I haven't done any serious OS work in ages myself, let alone read much theory.
