The main objective of this paper is to develop a new approach for round robin C P U scheduling algorithm which improves the performance of CPU in real time operating system. The proposed Priority based Round-Robin CPU Scheduling algorithm is based on the integration of round-robin and priority scheduling algorithm. It retains the advantage of round robin in reducing starvation and also integrates the advantage of priority scheduling. The proposed algorithm also implements the concept of aging by assigning new priorities to the processes. Existing round robin CPU scheduling algorithm cannot be implemented in real time operating system due to their high context switch rates, large waiting time, large response time, large turnaround time and less throughput. The proposed algorithm improves all the drawbacks of round robin CP U scheduling algorithm. The paper also presents the comparative analysis of proposed algorithm with existing round robin scheduling algorithm on the basis of varying time quantum, average waiting time, average turnaround time and number of context switches.
