Consider the problem of jobs waiting in a queue until sufficient memory becomes available for them to be loaded and executed. If the queue is a simple first-in-first-out structure, then only the job at the head of the queue may be considered for placement in memory. With a more complex queuing mechanism, it might be possible to examine the entire queue to choose the next job to be loaded and executed.
