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

Scheduler

  Scheduler   Scheduling Objectives Here, are important objectives of Process scheduling Maximize the number of interactive users within acceptable response times. Achieve a balance between response and utilization. Avoid indefinite postponement and enforce priorities. It also should give reference to the processes holding the key resources  Process Scheduling handles the selection of a process for the processor on the basis of a scheduling algorithm and also the removal of a process from the processor. It is an important part of multiprogramming in operating system. Process scheduling involves short-term scheduling, medium-term scheduling and long-term scheduling. Details about these are given as follows − Long-Term Scheduling Long-term scheduling involves selecting the processes from the storage pool in the secondary memory and loading them into the ready queue in the main memory for execution. This is handled by the long-term scheduler or job scheduler. The long-term s...

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...

Exokernel architecture

Exokernel architecture Most of us know what kernels are and how do they work to make programmers’ lives easier. But, how many of us know what exokernels are? I hope you will be able to get a brief introduction on this terminology through this blog. Let’s start with a brief introduction on kernel. What is a kernel? A kernel is the foundational layer of an operating system that functions at a basic level, communicating with hardware and managing resources, such as CPU and the memory. It works as an interface between the user application and the hardware. There   are two main types of kernel 1. Micro kernel 2. Monolithic Kernel 1.  Monolithic architecture 2.      Layerd archtecture . 3.       Virtual machine architecture 4.       Exokernel architecture 5.      Client server architecture   6.       Micro kernel architecture Now let’s head into our main focus. What is an Exokern...

CPU Scheduling

  CPU Scheduling  What is CPU Scheduling? CPU Scheduling  is a process of determining which process will own CPU for execution while another process is on hold. The main task of CPU scheduling is to make sure that whenever the CPU remains idle, the OS at least select one of the processes available in the ready queue for execution. The selection process will be carried out by the CPU scheduler. It selects one of the processes in memory that are ready for execution. Types of CPU Scheduling Here are two kinds of Scheduling methods: Preemptive Scheduling In Preemptive Scheduling, the tasks are mostly assigned with their priorities. Sometimes it is important to run a task with a higher priority before another lower priority task, even if the lower priority task is still running. The lower priority task holds for some time and resumes when the higher priority task finishes its execution. Non-Preemptive Scheduling In this type of scheduling method, the CPU has been allocated to ...
