Extracted text: (a) The scheduler is i.e. doesn't starve non-realtime processes while favouring the non-realtime processes. `fair'' towards (i.e. equally nice towards) both real-time and non-realtime processes, (b) Is as suitable for server workloads, that involves either heavy computation an/or bulk I/0 operations, as it is towards desktop applications like multimedia players and web browsers. (c) Is not effective as a hard real-time scheduler since the kernel is itself preemptive. (d) It is not suitable for non-realtime process scheduling, e.g. those pertaining to copying. large volumes of data from the network to a disk.
