In this video, we break down the SCAN Algorithm, also known as the Elevator Algorithm, used for disk scheduling in operating systems. The SCAN algorithm optimizes disk performance by moving the disk arm in one direction, serving requests until it reaches the end, then reversing its direction—similar to how an elevator operates.

What you'll learn in this video:

How the SCAN algorithm works
Advantages over FCFS and SSTF
Limitations and potential use cases in real-world systems
Ideal for computer science students, IT professionals, or anyone interested in improving their understanding of disk scheduling algorithms.
