The Least Slack Time (LST) scheduling algorithm is a real-time scheduling algorithm that prioritizes tasks based on the amount of time remaining before a task's deadline. The LST algorithm's basic idea is to schedule the task with the least slack time first because it has the least amount of time before its deadline. Real-time systems are intended to handle tasks or jobs with strict time constraints. These tasks are frequently carried out in a periodic or ad hoc fashion, with each task having a specific deadline by which it must be completed. Real-time scheduling algorithms aid in the completion of ...
