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.

Multilevel Feedback queue scheduling (MFQ)

  Multilevel Feedback queue scheduling (MFQ) ·          Multilevel feedback queue scheduling is an enhancement of multi-levelqueue scheduling. In this scheme, processes can move between the different queue ·          The various processes are separates in different queue on the basis of their CPU Burst Char characteristics ·          If a process consumes a lot of CPU time , it is placed into a lower priority queue. Thus I/O bound and interactive process are placed in the higher priority queue and CPU bound pricesses are in lower priority ·          If a processes waits too long in a lower priority queue it is moved higher priority queue. Such an aging prevents starvation. ·          The top priority queue is given smallest CPU time Quantum ·      ...

ENTERPROCESS COMMUNICATION AND SYNCHRONIZATION

      ENTERPROCESS COMMUNICATION AND SYNCHRONIZATION ·          In multi programming environment multiple process co-exit . a single   program may be broken into number of processes. ·          The process are classified into two categories : independent processes and cooperating processes. ·          An independent process is a standalone process that does not share any data with any other process. It cannot affect or be affected by the other processes executing   in the system. In other words, the modification made to an independent process does not affect the functioning of other process. ·          A cooperating processes is a process that shares data with other processes in a system it can affect or be affectedly the other processes executing in the system ·      ...

Defination of OS(operating system) and its concepts

    What do you mean by operating system?     Definition :  An operating system is a program that act as an interface between the user of a computer and the                                      Computer hardware. Operating system is a first program that gets loaded into the memory through a process called booting. Concepts of operating system : ·                       The purpose of operating system is to provide an environment in which a user can execute program in a convenient and efficient manner. ·                       Operating system is an integrated set of program that ma...

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...

Round Robin

   Round Robin ·          Round robin Scheduling is similar to FCFS but preemption is addede to switch between processes. ·          In RR scheduling, processes are dispatched in FIFO but given a small amount of CPU time. This small amount of CPU time this small amount of time is known as time quantum or time slice. A time quantum is generally from 10 to 100 milliseconds ·          If a process does not complete before its time slice expires, the CPU is time slice and is given to the next waiting process in ready queue. ·          The preempted process in then places at the   tail of the ready queue. ·          If a process is completed before its time slice expires, the process itself release the CPU. The scheduler then proceeds to the next process in ready queue. ...
