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

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 ·      ...

Round Robin

   Round Robin ·          Round robin Scheduling is similar to FCFS but preemption is addede to switch between processes. ·          In RR scheduling, processes are dispatched in FIFO but given a small amount of CPU time. This small amount of CPU time this small amount of time is known as time quantum or time slice. A time quantum is generally from 10 to 100 milliseconds ·          If a process does not complete before its time slice expires, the CPU is time slice and is given to the next waiting process in ready queue. ·          The preempted process in then places at the   tail of the ready queue. ·          If a process is completed before its time slice expires, the process itself release the CPU. The scheduler then proceeds to the next process in ready queue. ...

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...
