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.
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
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.

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.
