Step 1 of 7
Round Robin is a simple way of sharing the CPU. Instead of letting one programme keep the CPU for a long time, the computer gives each programme a short turn.

The CPU will pick the first programme in the line.
CPU = the part of the computer doing the work
Ready queue
The one at the front gets the next turn.
Completed programmes
Turn order
Each programme gets a short turn, then the next one gets a turn.
