*             Operating system as an extended machine.

*             operating system as resource manager .

   Operating system as an extended machine:

§   An operating system is a layer of software on the top of the bare hardware of a computer system.

§   This operating system manages the all parts of  the system, and presents to the users with an interface or virtual machine ,that is easier to program and use.

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...

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 ·      ...

Write a note on real time OS.

  Write a note on real time OS. Ans. In real time operating system , job is to be completed within the rigid time constraints otherwise job loses its meaning. A real time system functions correctly only if it return the correct result within its time constraints Thus, in a real tome system , the correctness of the computation not only depends upon the logical correctness of the but also upon the time at which the result is produced. A real time system is often used as a central device in a dedicated applications like fuel-injection system, robotics, air- traffic control, medical imaging systems, systems that control scientific  experiment, industrial control system and weapon systems .
