Real-time system

 Real-time system

·         In a real time operating system, a job is to be completed within the  rigid time constraints otherwise job loses its meaning.

·         A real time system function correctly only if it returns the correct result within its time constraints

·         Thus, in a  real-time system, the correctness of the  computation not only depends upon the logical correctness of the computation but also upon the time at which the result is produced.

Real-time system

In a real time system various functions like process scheduling, memory management, I/O management and file  management are performed as follows :

1.       Process scheduling . the real time system uses priority based pre-emptive scheduling. each process is assigned a certain level of priority and the process with the highest priority is allocated the processor among those which are in the ready state.

2.       Memory management. In real time system, the processes remain in primary memory for most of the time in order to provide quick response.

3.       I/O device management . time critical device management is main requirement of real time system . it also uses feature like interrupt management and I/O buffering.

4.       File management. In real time system, file management does not aim at efficient utilisation of secondary storage rather main objective is to provide fast access.

        single user operating system  

2.      Multi user operating system 

3.       Batch processing operating system

4.      Multi programming operating system 

5.     Multi tasking operating system 

6.       Multiprocessing operating system

7.       Time sharing operating system

8.     Real time system  

Real-time operating system are categorised into:

1.      Hard real-time systems

2.      Soft real-time systems

 

1.       Hard real time systems complete the critical tasks within the definite interval of constraints. If the critical task is not completed within the time constraints then the hard real time system fails.

Thus, a hard real time system has to complete all the processes within definite deeding and a single miss leads to critical failure

 

2.       Soft real time system are less restrictive in a nature and are not affected the lapse of time interval and do not cause any critical failure.

Soft real time system are used in the area of multimedia, virtual reality

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 ma...

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...

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 ...

Classification of Operating System

  Classification of operating systems The operating systems may be classified into different types depending upon the nature of interaction between the user and his/her program.

Change the priority of a process

  Change the priority of a process You can tell the computer that certain processes should have a higher priority than others, and so should be given a bigger share of the available computing time. This can make them run faster, but only in certain cases. You can also give a process a  lower  priority if you think it is taking up too much processing power. Go to the  Processes  tab and click on the process you want to have a different priority. Right-click the process, and use the  Change Priority  menu to assign the process a higher or lower priority. There is typically little need to change process priorities manually. The computer will usually do a good job of managing them itself. (The system for managing the priority of processes is called  nice .) Does higher priority make a process run faster? The computer shares its processing time between all of the running processes. This is normally shared intelligently, so programs that are doing more ...
