Multi user Operating System

 Multi user operating system

·         In a multi-user operating system, multiple number of user can access different resources of a computer at a same time.

·         The access is provided using a network that consists of various personal computer attached to a mainframe computer system.

·         The various personal computer can send and receive information to mainframe computer system.

·         The example  of multi-user OS are UNIX, windows 2000,novell netware.

Advantages of multi user operating system

·         It helps in the sharing of data and information among different users.

·         It also helps in the sharing of hardware resources such as printer and modems.

 

Disadvantages of multi-user

·         It requires expensive hardware to setup a mainframe computer.

·         When multiple users log on or work on same system it reduces the overall performance of system.

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.   ...

Distributed system

  Distributed system ·           A distributed system is a collection of processor located in geographical dispersal physical location. ·           In this system, the workhold is distributed or divided between two or more computers that are linked together by communication network . that is the different processors communicate using communication links, such as telephone lines and buses3 ·           The various processors do not share memory, clock ,or peripheral devices instead each processors has its local memory. ·           The purpose of distributed system is to provide an efficient and convenient environment for sharing of resources. ·           Some example of distributed operating system are amoeba, angle, chorus, much, alpha kernel. ·   ...

Multitasking System

  Multitasking system ·           Technically , multitasking is same as multi programming ·           In a multitasking operating system, s single user can execute multiple programs at the same time ·           We can also say, multitasking is the system capability to work on more than one job or process at the same time. ·           It means that whenever a job needs to perform I/O operation, the cpu can be used for execting some other job                                                        diagram of multi tasking     ·           There are two type of multitasking : 1.       ...

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                                 ...

Virtual Machine Architecture

  Virtual Machine Architecture A virtual machine can exist as a standalone machine or it can exist within a vApp. A virtual machine is a software computer that, like a physical computer, runs an operating system and applications. The virtual machine consists of a set of specification and configuration files and is backed by the physical resources of a host. Every virtual machine has virtual devices that provide the same functionality as physical hardware are more portable, more secure, and easier to manage. Virtual machines can be standalone, or they can exist within a vApp. A vApp is compound object composed of one or more virtual machines as well as one or more networks. 1.    Monolithic architecture 2.     Layerd archtecture . 3.     Virtual machine architecture 4.       Exokernel architecture 5.      Client server architecture   6.       Micro kernel architecture The following figure ...
