In multiprogramming, how we would decide when to stop process A (in case its taking a lot of time) and switch to process B ?

#2

We can fix a time quantum for which a certain process can run and occupy the CPU. After that time, we switch to another process so that all processes get a fair chance.

#3

But then it won’t it become same as multitasking ?

#4

Multitasking is basically tasks sharing a common resource such as CPU. In our problem, we will release all the held resources after the time quantum, so that other processes can use it.
