Direct Communicationand Indirect communication

 

Direct Communication

·         Direct communication establishes a link between two processes. A communication link is a unidirectional path along which information flows.

·         two processes use single communication link to share information.

·         In this  metod, there cannot be more that one link between two processes


                                                    direct communication


·         Send and receive function used in direct communication are given below :

·         Send(process name , message ,(receive(process name , message)

            Send(A, message )- send a message to process A

            Receive(A, message )-receive a message from process B


Indirect communication

·         In indirect communication , no direct communication link exists between two processes.

·         In this , messages are sent to and received from mailbox.

·         A mailbox is a specialized repository where message can be placed by processes and from which message can be  removed .

·         In direct communication , more than two processes can shares a mailbox.

·         No communication , more than two processes is possible if they do not share a mailbox.

·         Each mailbox has a unique identification.

                                                          indirect communcation


·         A process can communicate with some with other process via a number of different mailbox.

·         The send and receive primitives in indirect communication are:

                 Send(mailbox,message)and receive(mailbox,message)

                Send(P,message)-send a message to mailbox P

                Receive (P,message)-receive a message from mailbox P

·         A strength of the use of indirect addressing is that , by decoupling other sender and receiver , it allows for greater flexibility in the use of messages.

·         The relationshipbetween sender and receiver processes can be one to one and many to one , one to many or many to many

·         A oneto-one relationship allows a private communication link to be set up between two processes .in such a way , the interaction between these two processes is insulted from erroneous interfaces from other processes.

·         A many-to-many relationship is used In client/ server interaction . one process provide service to number of other processes .in such a case , mailbox is called as port.

·         A one-to-many relationship allows for one sender and multiple receive processes .it is useful for application where a message or some information is to be broadcast to set of processes.

·         A mailbox may be owned either by a process or by the operating 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...

Change the priority of a process

  Change the priority of a process You can tell the computer that certain processes should have a higher priority than others, and so should be given a bigger share of the available computing time. This can make them run faster, but only in certain cases. You can also give a process a  lower  priority if you think it is taking up too much processing power. Go to the  Processes  tab and click on the process you want to have a different priority. Right-click the process, and use the  Change Priority  menu to assign the process a higher or lower priority. There is typically little need to change process priorities manually. The computer will usually do a good job of managing them itself. (The system for managing the priority of processes is called  nice .) Does higher priority make a process run faster? The computer shares its processing time between all of the running processes. This is normally shared intelligently, so programs that are doing more ...

Shortest Job First Scheduling (SJF)

  Shortest Job First Scheduling (SJF) ·          SJF ia also known as shortest-job-next(SJN) algorithm and is faster than FCFS. ·          In SJF, the process with the least estimated execution time is selected from the ready queue for   execution. ·          For this, SJF algorithm associates with each process, the length of its next CPU burst. When the CPU is available, it is assigned to the process that has the smallest next CPU burst. ·          If tow processes have the same length of next CPU burst ,FCFS scheduling algorithm is used to break the tie. ·          SJF algorithm can be preemptive or non-preemptive.     Non-preeptive SJF ·          In non-preemptive SJF, scheduling, CPU is always assigned to the ...

Classification of Operating System

  Classification of operating systems The operating systems may be classified into different types depending upon the nature of interaction between the user and his/her program. The various types of operating system are : 1.       single user operating system    2.        Multi user operating system   3.         Batch processing operating system 4.        Multi programming operating system   5.       Multi tasking operating system   6.         Multiprocessing operating system 7.         Time sharing operating system 8.       Real time system      Distributed system Multi threading operating system       Single user operating system ·          ...
