Getting Started

JavaFX GUI

Prerequisites

• Java 17 or higher
• Maven 3.6+
• JavaFX 17 (managed by Maven)

Build & Run

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repo-url>
   cd <repo-directory>

2. Build the project:

   mvn clean install

3. Run the application:

   mvn javafx:run

The main window will open, allowing you to explore FIFO scheduling visually.

Go FIFO Demo

Prerequisites

• Go 1.18 or higher

Build & Run

1. Navigate to the Go demo:

   cd fifi-demo-with-go

2. Run the program:

   go run main.go

This will simulate FIFO scheduling in the terminal and print job progress per tick.

Usage

• Home: View course and developer info.
• Dashboard: Navigate to Java/Go simulations, theory, or the process calculator.
• Calculator: Enter the number of processes, their arrival and burst times, and calculate scheduling metrics.
• Theory: Read about FIFO scheduling concepts and applications.
• Java/Go Simulation: Run and compare FIFO scheduling in Java and Go.
