Batch Processing Operating System

Batch processing system

· Batch processing is one of the oldest method of running the programs

· The computer in the past were very large in size and their I/O devices were very different from those that are used today. The job processing was not interactive as it is today.

· The user did not interact directly with computer system.

· The process scheduling, memory management, file management and I/Omanagement functions are quite simple in batch processing system

1. Process scheduling(i.e. allocation strategy for a processor is typically in order of their arrival i.e. first come first served(FCFS)basis.

2. Memory management is done by dividing the memoryinto two areas one portion or partition is occupied by resident monitor and the other portionis dynamically used to load the transist program for execution.

3. I/O management .since only one program is executed at a time, there is no contention for I/O devices. Thus the allocation and deallocation for the I/O devices is trivial.

4. File managment access to the files is done on serial basis.

processing system

Advantages of batch processing

· Batch processing is particularly is useful for operation that require the computer or a peripheral devices for an extended period of timeee with very little user interaction

· Increased performance as it was possible for job to start as soon as previous job is finished without any manual intervention.

· Priorities can be set for different batches.

Disadvantages of batch

processing

· No interaction is the possible with the user while the program is being executed. User have no control over intermediate result of a program.

· It reduces timeliness in some cases. The time required to accumulate datainto batches, in some cases, destroy much of the value of the data.

· The batch processing operating system has high turnaround time. Turnaround timeis the time taken between the submitting the job and getting the output which includes the batch formation and its execution.

· In batch processing, it is difficult to provide the desired priority scheduling

· For example, if two high priority jobs were to be run but were in separate batches, one wouold have to wait until the other batch was completely processed

Monolithic Architecture

Monolithic Architecture Monolith means composed all in one piece. The Monolithic application describes a single-tiered software application in which different components combined into a single program from a single platform. Components can be: Authorization — responsible for authorizing a user Presentation — responsible for handling HTTP requests and responding with either HTML or JSON/XML (for web services APIs). Business logic — the application’s business logic. Database layer — data access objects responsible for accessing the database. Application integration — integration with other services (e.g. via messaging or REST API). Or integration with any other Data sources. Notification module — responsible for sending email notifications whenever needed. Example for Monolithic Approach Consider an example of Ecommerce application, that authorizes customer, takes an order, check products inventory, authorize payment and ships ordered products. This applicat...

Multi Programming Operating System

Multi programming system · Multi programming operating system allows multiple users to execute multiple programs using a single CPU concurrently i.e. at the same time. · In multiprogramming several process are kept in the main memory and CPU execute all these processes concurrently. It means, the CPU immediately switches from one process to next that are ready to get executed · In such an operating system when one process start process start performing the instructions from several programs at the same time. · Rather, it means that there are number program available to CPU and that portion of one is executed, then segment of another and so on ...

Micro kernel architecture

Micro kernel architecture What is Kernel? A kernel is an important part of an OS that manages system resources. It also acts as a bridge between the software and hardware of the computer. It is one of the first program which is loaded on start-up after the bootloader. The Kernel is also responsible for offering secure access to the machine's hardware for various programs. It also decides when and how long a certain application uses specific hardware. What is Microkernel? Microkernel is a software or code which contains the required minimum amount of functions, data, and features to implement an operating system. It provides a minimal number of mechanisms, which is good enough to run the most basic functions of an operating system. It allows other parts of the operating system to be implemented as it does not impose a lot of policies. Microkernels and their user environments are usually implemented in the C++ or C programming languages with a little bit of assembly. Ho...

Time Sharing System and its Requirements

Time sharing system · Time sharing refers to the allocation of computer resources in a time dependent fashion to several program simultaneously · A time sharing system has many user terminals that are connected to same computer simultaneously. Using these terminal, different users can work on a system at the same time · Thus, it uses multi programming with a special CPU scheduling among all the last one, and then again beginning from the first one · In time sharing system, the CPU time is divided among all the users on schedule basis. · It release the CPU under any of the following three conditions: 1. When the allotted time slice expires. 2. ...
