- Gould PN machines used a simple affinity algorithm:
-
- The run queue was divided into 32 priorities (each a single chain)
- - the classic BSD run queue.
-
- Find the highest priority group that had runnable processes.
-
- From this highest priority group, execute the first process that
- had most recently run on the CPU being scheduled (or the first process
- encountered, if no process found that had recently run on the
- CPU being scheduled).
