🚀 Feature Request: CPU Scheduling Algorithms Simulator

📘 Description

Implement a CPU Scheduling Algorithms Simulator using Streamlit to visualize and compare different CPU scheduling strategies interactively.
This feature will allow users to simulate various scheduling algorithms, understand their working principles, and analyze performance metrics through visual aids.

🎯 Feature Details

Algorithms to Implement

Algorithm	Description	Key Characteristics
FCFS (First Come First Serve)	Processes are executed in the order they arrive.	Non-preemptive, simple queue-based scheduling.
SJF (Shortest Job First)	The process with the smallest burst time executes first.	Can be preemptive or non-preemptive, minimizes waiting time.
Round Robin (RR)	Each process gets an equal time quantum cyclically.	Preemptive, fair time-sharing among processes.
Priority Scheduling	Processes are scheduled based on priority values.	Can be preemptive or non-preemptive, potential starvation issue.

🧠 Planned Features

• Process Generator

  • Dynamically add or generate processes with:
    • Process ID
    • Arrival Time
    • Burst Time
    • Priority (for Priority Scheduling)

• Algorithm Explanation Section

  • Show theoretical explanation when user clicks on an algorithm.
  • Include formulae for waiting time and turnaround time.
  • Provide a small example walkthrough.

• Scheduler Visualization

  • Interactive Gantt Chart visualization using Streamlit Charts or Plotly.
  • Step-by-step simulation control.

• Performance Analyzer

  • Display metrics:
    • Average Waiting Time
    • Average Turnaround Time
    • CPU Utilization
    • Throughput

• Comparison Dashboard

  • Compare results of all algorithms in a table or chart.
