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 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 Level Queue Scheduling (MLQ)

Multi Level Queue Scheduling (MLQ) · Multilevel queue scheduling classifies the processes according to their types for example, a multilevel queue scheduling algorithm makes a common. · In this scheduling ready queue is divided into various queue that are called sub queues. A subqueue is a distinct operational queue · The process are permanently assigned to subqueues, generally based on some property of the process such as memory size,priority or process type · Each subqueue has its process sucheduling algorithm. For example interactive process at the foreground may use round robin scheduling while batch jobs at the background may use the FCFS method · For example, consider a system with four different queues 1. ...

Shortest Job First Scheduling (SJF)

Shortest Job First Scheduling (SJF) · SJF ia also known as shortest-job-next(SJN) algorithm and is faster than FCFS. · In SJF, the process with the least estimated execution time is selected from the ready queue for execution. · For this, SJF algorithm associates with each process, the length of its next CPU burst. When the CPU is available, it is assigned to the process that has the smallest next CPU burst. · If tow processes have the same length of next CPU burst ,FCFS scheduling algorithm is used to break the tie. · SJF algorithm can be preemptive or non-preemptive. Non-preeptive SJF · In non-preemptive SJF, scheduling, CPU is always assigned to the ...

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...

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...
