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.

Advantages and 

disadvantages of batch 

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

Functions of Operating System

  Functions of operating system   5.                     protection and security : ·                       another important functions of an operating system is to protect itself from the user process and to protect different users processes from one another in a syatem. ·                       In a multi programming environment, where several users process reside in main memory at the same time, the may interface with OS or with each other. ·                       Thus, protection mechanism controls the access of users, programs and processes used by various applications. ·                       A total approach to computer security involves both external and internal security.   6.                     Networking: ·           Networking is used for exchanging    information among different computer that are distributed across various location. ·           Distributed system consist of multiple processors and each processor has its own memory and clock ·           This results in compu

OS its Resource Manager and its Function

  Operating system as resource manager:   ·           A computer system usually has many hardware and software resources such as processor , memory, disk printer, I/O devices etc. ·           The task of resources management becomes essential in multi-user operating system where different user compute for the same resource.   Operating system manages resources in two ways : 1.         Time multiplexing : it defines the sharing of resources on the basis of fixed time slices. For example, the operating system allocate the resources, such as CPUto program A for fixed time slice. 2.         Space timing:  it defines the concurrent sharing of resources among different programs.for example, sharing of hard disk and main memory is space multiplexing.     FUNCTION OF OPERATING SYSTEM     The primary function of an operating system is to provide an environment for excecution of users program . the various function of operating system are: 1.         process management 2.         main memory man

Defination of OS(operating system) and its concepts

    What do you mean by operating system?     Definition :  An operating system is a program that act as an interface between the user of a computer and the                                      Computer hardware. Operating system is a first program that gets loaded into the memory through a process called booting. Concepts of operating system : ·                       The purpose of operating system is to provide an environment in which a user can execute program in a convenient and efficient manner. ·                       Operating system is an integrated set of program that manages the various hardware resources such as processor, memory, I/O Devices , communication devices and overall operation of a computer system. ·                       Operating systems also acts as a platform on which various applications programs such as word processor and excel are executed. ·                       The most common operating system are the window family of operating system (windows 98, window

Multitasking System

  Multitasking system ·           Technically , multitasking is same as multi programming ·           In a multitasking operating system, s single user can execute multiple programs at the same time ·           We can also say, multitasking is the system capability to work on more than one job or process at the same time. ·           It means that whenever a job needs to perform I/O operation, the cpu can be used for execting some other job                                                        diagram of multi tasking     ·           There are two type of multitasking : 1.         Cooperative multitaskin g 2.         Preemptive multitasking   ·            Co operative multitasking    in cooperative multitasking , program can aquire the cpu for the required amount of time a program canshare CPU with any other program that is executing simultaneously, if it does not currently require the CPU.   ·           Preemptive multitasking .
