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.

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...

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...

Protection and security

Protection and security Protection in computer system · In the system with contiguous memory allocation, protection is usually accomplished by the use of limit registers. Each program is assigned a specific limit in term of address space . whenever any reference is made to an instruction of the limit register is checked to ensure that reference is within the bound of program otherwise the access to memory is denied. · In paging system, protection is achieved by the use of a page table. This page table list all the pages that a program can access. · In addition the table store access rights such as read, write or execute for each individual page. · In a system that uses segmentation, protection is accomplished by the use of segment ...

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...

Layered Operating System

Layered Operating System Layered Structure is a type of system structure in which the different services of the operating system are split into various layers, where each layer has a specific well-defined task to perform . It was created to improve the pre-existing structures like the Monolithic structure ( UNIX ) and the Simple structure ( MS-DOS ). Example – The Windows NT operating system uses this layered approach as a part of it . Design Analysis : The whole Operating System is separated into several layers ( from 0 to n ) as the diagram shows. Each of the layers must have its own specific function to perform. There are some rules in the implementation of the layers as follows. The outermost layer must be the User Interface layer. The innermost layer must be the Hardware layer. A particular layer can access all the layers present below it but it cannot access the layers present above it. That is layer n-1 can access all the layers from n-2 to 0 but it canno...
