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.

Exokernel architecture

Exokernel architecture Most of us know what kernels are and how do they work to make programmers’ lives easier. But, how many of us know what exokernels are? I hope you will be able to get a brief introduction on this terminology through this blog. Let’s start with a brief introduction on kernel. What is a kernel? A kernel is the foundational layer of an operating system that functions at a basic level, communicating with hardware and managing resources, such as CPU and the memory. It works as an interface between the user application and the hardware. There are two main types of kernel 1. Micro kernel 2. Monolithic Kernel 1. Monolithic architecture 2. Layerd archtecture . 3. Virtual machine architecture 4. Exokernel architecture 5. Client server architecture 6. Micro kernel architecture Now let’s head into our main focus. What is an Exokern...

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...

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...

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 · ...

Time Sharing System and its Requirements

Time sharing system · Time sharing refers to the allocation of computer resources in a time dependent fashion to several program simultaneously · A time sharing system has many user terminals that are connected to same computer simultaneously. Using these terminal, different users can work on a system at the same time · Thus, it uses multi programming with a special CPU scheduling among all the last one, and then again beginning from the first one · In time sharing system, the CPU time is divided among all the users on schedule basis. · It release the CPU under any of the following three conditions: 1. When the allotted time slice expires. 2. ...
