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

Multi user Operating System

  Multi user operating system ·           In a multi-user operating system, multiple number of user can access different resources of a computer at a same time. ·           The access is provided using a network that consists of various personal computer attached to a mainframe computer system.                                                              diagram of multi -user operating system       ·           The various personal computer can send and receive information to mainframe computer system. ·           The example    of multi-user OS are UNIX, windows 2000,novell netware.            sing...

Multilevel Feedback queue scheduling (MFQ)

  Multilevel Feedback queue scheduling (MFQ) ·          Multilevel feedback queue scheduling is an enhancement of multi-levelqueue scheduling. In this scheme, processes can move between the different queue ·          The various processes are separates in different queue on the basis of their CPU Burst Char characteristics ·          If a process consumes a lot of CPU time , it is placed into a lower priority queue. Thus I/O bound and interactive process are placed in the higher priority queue and CPU bound pricesses are in lower priority ·          If a processes waits too long in a lower priority queue it is moved higher priority queue. Such an aging prevents starvation. ·          The top priority queue is given smallest CPU time Quantum ·      ...

Multi processing system

  Multi processing system ·           Multi processesor system is the sytem that contain two or more processors or CPUS and has ability to simultaneously execute     several programs. Hence the name multi-processor In such a system, multiple processor share the clock, bus, memory and peripheral devices. ·           A multi processor system is also known as parallel system ·           Multi processor system are categorized into two different types:                single user operating system    2.        Multi user operating system   3.         Batch processing operating system 4.        Multi programming operating system   5.       Multi tasking operating sy...

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...

Write a note on real time OS.

  Write a note on real time OS. Ans. In real time operating system , job is to be completed within the rigid time constraints otherwise job loses its meaning. A real time system functions correctly only if it return the correct result within its time constraints Thus, in a real tome system , the correctness of the computation not only depends upon the logical correctness of the but also upon the time at which the result is produced. A real time system is often used as a central device in a dedicated applications like fuel-injection system, robotics, air- traffic control, medical imaging systems, systems that control scientific  experiment, industrial control system and weapon systems .
