Dispatcher (operating system concepts)

 

Dispatcher module gives control of the CPU to the process selected by the short-term scheduler; this involves:

  2. switching to user mode
  3. jumping to the proper location in the user program to restart that program
  • Dispatch latency – time it takes for the dispatcher to stop one process and start another running.
