📜 Description

This project simulates process scheduling using the Round Robin algorithm. The simulation manages multiple processes, each with specified CPU and I/O times. The processes are executed and visualized using a graphical user interface.

✨ Key Features

Feature	Description
🕹️ Process Scheduling	Implements the Round Robin scheduling algorithm for process management.
📊 Graphical Visualization	Real-time graphical interface to visualize process states and execution.
📈 Detailed Metrics	Reports process metrics such as waiting time, response time, and turnaround time.

💾 Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/rxElectron/RoundRobin_Scheduler.git
   cd RoundRobin_Scheduler

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   pip install -r requirements.txt --break-system-packages

🛠️ Additional Setup for tkinter

You cannot install tkinter using pip because it is not available as a standalone package. Instead, it comes bundled with Python installations. Here’s how you can ensure you have it:

For Different Operating Systems

• Windows: Tkinter is included with the standard Python installation. If you installed Python from the official installer, you should already have it.

• Ubuntu/Debian: You can install Tkinter with:

  sudo apt-get install python3-tk

• Fedora: Use the following command:

  sudo dnf install python3-tkinter

• macOS: Tkinter is usually included with the Python installation from python.org. If you installed Python via Homebrew, you might need to install it separately:

  brew install python-tk

🧪 Verify Installation

To check if Tkinter is installed correctly, run:

import tkinter
tkinter._test()

If a small window appears, Tkinter is working.

🚀 Usage

1. Run the simulation:

   Navigate to the src directory and execute the Main.py script.

   cd src
   python Main.py

2. Input File:

   The input/Input.txt file contains the initial processes with their respective CPU and I/O times.

3. Graphical User Interface:

   The GUI allows you to start, add, and retry processes. It also displays the Gantt chart for process execution.

🗂️ Files and Classes

File	Description
src/__SRCs.py	📚 Contains auxiliary functions and standard libraries.
src/__PROCESS.py	🏭 Defines the PROCESS class, which simulates each process with attributes like ID, priority, and execution behavior.
src/__IO.py	📥 Handles reading process input from a text file and includes the TextRedirector class to manage output redirection.
src/__OS.py	🖥️ Implements the OS class for process management, including adding, removing, and running processes using Round Robin scheduling.
src/__GUI.py	🖼️ Provides a graphical user interface for the simulation, utilizing tkinter and threading for real-time updates.
src/Main.py	🚪 The main entry point of the program, which initializes and runs the application.
