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.

5.     Multi tasking operating system 

6.       Multiprocessing operating system

7.       Time sharing operating system

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

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 ·      ...

ENTERPROCESS COMMUNICATION AND SYNCHRONIZATION

      ENTERPROCESS COMMUNICATION AND SYNCHRONIZATION ·          In multi programming environment multiple process co-exit . a single   program may be broken into number of processes. ·          The process are classified into two categories : independent processes and cooperating processes. ·          An independent process is a standalone process that does not share any data with any other process. It cannot affect or be affected by the other processes executing   in the system. In other words, the modification made to an independent process does not affect the functioning of other process. ·          A cooperating processes is a process that shares data with other processes in a system it can affect or be affectedly the other processes executing in the system ·      ...

Message Delivery Protocol

  Message Delivery Protocol ·          A protocol is a set of rules and conventions shared by communicating entities . ·          Message passing can be blocking or non blocking . ·          In blocking protocol , a sender process is blocked till the message selivered to the . in this case , sender process has guarantee that the message sent by it ie delivered before it continues its execution . A blocking protocol normally includes: 1.        Blocking send : the sender process is blocked until the message is received by the receiving process or by the mailbox. 2.        Blocking receive : the receiver nlocks until a message is available thus when both sender as well as receiver is blocked ,it is known as rebdevezevous . this combination allows for tight sysnchronization between process. ·...

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.   ...

Direct Communicationand Indirect communication

  Direct Communication ·          Direct communication establishes a link between two processes. A communication link is a unidirectional path along which information flows. ·          two processes use single communication link to share information. ·          In this   metod, there cannot be more that one link between two processes                                                     direct communication ·          Send and receive function used in direct communication are given below : ·          Send(process name , message ,(receive(process name , message)             Send(A, message...
