Multi Programming Operating System

 Multi programming system

·         Multi programming operating system allows multiple users to execute multiple programs using a single CPU concurrently i.e. at the same time.

·         In multiprogramming several process are kept in the main memory and CPU execute all these processes concurrently. It means, the CPU immediately switches from one process to next that are ready to get executed

·         In such an operating system when one process start process start performing the instructions from several programs at the same time.

·         Rather, it means that there are number program available to CPU and that portion of one is executed, then segment of another and so on

 

 

 


                              memory layout in multi programming system

 

 

·         In case of multiprogramming the various jobs residing in the main memory, can be in one of the following three stages

1.       Running : CPU is being used by the program

2.       Blocked : performing I/O operation

3.       Ready : waiting for CPU to be assigned to it

·         The various example of multiprogramming operation system are windows NT,OS/2, UNIX.

·         A typical scenario of jobs in multiprogramming system . at a particular instance of time , program A is not utilizing CPU as it is busy writing output data on the disk.

3.       Batch processing operating system

5.     Multi tasking operating system 

6.       Multiprocessing operating system

7.       Time sharing operating system

8.     Real time system  

programming

The various feature required by multi programming system are:

1.        large memory

·         For a multi programming to work satisfactorily, large main memory is required to accommodate a good number of user programs along with operator system.

 

2.       Memory protection

·         Computer designed for multi programming must provide some type memory protection mechanism to prevent a programing one memory partition from changing information or instruction of a program in another memory partition.

 

3.       job status preservation

·         in multiprogramming when one running job is blocked before I/O operation ,the CPU is taken away from that job is given to some another job later on when that job has finished its I/O operation, it need to be resumed with its execution.

 

4.       Proper job mix

·         A proper mix of I/O-bound and CPU-bound processes is required so that the operation of CPU and I/O devices are balanced.

·         If all the loaded jobs need I/O At the same time  , the CPU will be adle.

                                             

                                                           jobs in multi programming system

 Advantages and disadvantages of multi programming

Advantages of multi programming:

1.       Increased throughput. Throughput increased by utilising the idle-time of CPU for running other program that are already present in the main memory.

2.       Lowered response time. Response time is lowered by recognising the priority of job as it enters the system and by processing jobs on a priority basis.

3.       Ability to assign priorities to job.  Most multi programming systems have scheme for setting  priorities for rotating programs. They specify when the CPU will rotating programs. They specify when the CPU will rotate to anther program, and which program it will rotate to.

Disadvantages of multi programming

1.       Multi programming is implemented through an operating system, which is a program that requires space in primary storage since it must be executed by the CPU. The operating system overhead os greater with multi programming that with batch processing.

2.       Jobs may have different sizes, therefore memory management is needed to accommodate them in memory .

3.       Many jobs may be ready to run on the CPU, which means that CPU scheduling is required.

 

 

One of the requirement of multi programming is the given below:

1.       CPU scheduling

·         In a multi programming system ,often  there will be situations in wich two or more jons will be in the ready state, waiting for CPU to be allocated for execution.

·         In such a case, the operating system must bdecide to which process or jobs should CPU be allocated..

·         For this a CPU scheduler select the processes and uses different CPU scheduling algorithm.

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...

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 divi...

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...

Time Sharing System and its Requirements

  Time sharing  system ·           Time sharing refers to the allocation of computer resources in a time dependent fashion to several program simultaneously ·           A time sharing system has many user terminals that are connected to same computer simultaneously. Using these terminal, different users can work on a system at the same time ·           Thus, it uses multi programming with a special CPU scheduling among all the last one, and then again beginning from the first one ·           In time sharing system, the CPU time is divided among all the users on schedule basis. ·           It release the CPU under any of the following three conditions: 1.         When the allotted time slice expires. 2.    ...
