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

·         There are two type of multitasking :

1.       Cooperative multitasking

2.       Preemptive multitasking

 

·         Co operative multitasking  in cooperative multitasking , program can aquire the cpu for the required amount of time a program canshare CPU with any other program that is executing simultaneously, if it does not currently require the CPU.

 

·         Preemptive multitasking. In preemptive multitasking the operating system allocates particularly time to a program . the CPU is preempted if a higher priority job arrives in a system.

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                                 ...

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.                                                              diagram of multi -user operating 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.            sing...

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...

Client server architecture

  Client server architecture Client - server architecture  is distributed  model  representing dispersed responsibilities among independent computers integrated across a network. Therefore,  it's  easy to replace, repair, upgrade and relocate a  server  while  client  remains unaffected. Advantages of Client-Server Architecture: Organizations often seek  opportunities to maintain services and quality competition to sustain its market position with the help of technologies. Deployment of client-server computing in an organization will effectively increase its productivity through the usage of  cost-effective user interface, enhanced data storage, vast connectivity and reliable application services Improved Data Sharing:   Data is retained by usual business processes and manipulated on a server is available for designated users (clients) over an authorized access. Integration of Services:   Every client is given the opp...
