This document provides an introduction to different types of operating systems, including serial processing systems, batch operating systems, multi-programming systems, time sharing systems, distributed systems, network systems, and real-time systems. It defines each type and provides one or two examples. Serial and batch systems execute jobs sequentially while multi-programming systems allow multiple programs to run simultaneously. Time sharing systems rapidly switch between programs to give the appearance they are running simultaneously. Distributed and network systems connect multiple processors across a network. Real-time systems have strict time constraints and do not tolerate delays.

4. Serial operating System
• Serial Processing: The Serial Processing Operating Systems are those which
Performs all the instructions into as sequence Manner or the
Instructions those are given by the user will be executed by
using the FIFO Manner means First in First Out.
.
• In this the Program Counter will determines which instruction is going
to Execute and the which instruction will be Execute after this.
Mainly the Punch Cards are used for this.
• Problem : the Main Problem is that a user doesn’t interact with
the System while he is working on the System, means the user can’t be able
to enter the data for Execution.

5. Batch Operating Systems
The Batch Processing is same as the Serial Processing Technique. But
in the Batch Processing Similar Types of jobs are Firstly Prepared and
they are Stored on the Card.
According to the concept of the batch operating systems, it states that
until a JOB (or process) has been completely processed and has been
successfully executed, we cannot perform another job or process at
the same time.
•The very first concept which denoted the task to be performed by the
operating system was the concept of Job. A job is defined as a piece of
work done on a computer. It generally consists of the program along
with the data.
•Let’s consider a scenario where , and are different jobs that are
supposed to be assigned to the batch operating system. All the three jobs
cannot be run, processed and executed at the same time as per the concept
of this kind of a system.

6. • If the input/output is required, the gets transferred from the main memory to
fulfilled the requirements of the same.
• At this time the main memory remains empty. The job gets successfully
executed after the requirements of the input and output are fulfilled.
Therefore there is no user interaction involved in such systems. Such jobs
that run without the end user interaction are called BATCH JOBS. Example
for a batch job can be the program that reads a large file and gives out a
report.
• Batch processing is basically done for those frequently used programs that
could be run with minimal human interaction.
ADVANTAGES
• The following are the advantages of using a batch operator:
• Reduction of manual work.
• Fast and well managed execution.
• Reduction in the repetitive usage of the punch cards and magnetic tapes.
• Reduction in CPU’s idle time.

7. The following are the disadvantages
of the batch operating systems:
•SEQUENTIAL EXECUTION: Jobs in a batch system
are always executed sequentially.
•STARVATION: Different jobs might take different amount of
time for execution which leads to the starvation of some of the
jobs.
Disadvantages

8. Multi programming
Operating System
• As we know that in the Batch Processing System there are multiple jobs
Executed by the System. The System first prepares a batch and after that
he will Execute all the jobs that are Stored into the Batch.
• But the Main Problem is that if a process or job requires an Input
and Output Operation, then it is not possible and second there will be the
wastage of the Time when we are preparing the batch and the CPU
will remain idle at that Time.
• Multi-Programming we can Execute Many Programs on the System and
When we are Working with the Program then we can also Submit the
Second or Another Program for Running and the CPU will then
Execute the Second Program after the completion of the First Program.
And in this we can also specify our Input means a user can also interact
with the System.

10. Time Sharing System
• These types of systems are also known by many other names such as
multitasking operating systems, fair share operating system, multi-
programming (Round Robin Technique) etc…
• The main idea behind a time sharing operating system can be
explained with an example. Consider an example where a
processor is undergoing some process for execution. During the
process of execution, if the processor wants to wait for an I/O or for any
other event, then at that time why should the CPU remain idle? In such
situation, the CPU switches over to some other and starts running it.
• In case, if again the processor waits, the CPU again switches over to
some other process and the process goes on. The main idea which
could be understood from this context is that, the CPU should not
remain idle and should remain busy in performing one or more
number of tasks at the same interval of time.

11. Time Sharing System
One important thing to be noted here is that when the process
volunteers to wait for some event, the CPU switches over to some
other task. We do not force the CPU to leave the existing task and
switch over to the other one.
The process itself wants to perform some task which is not related to
the CPU and hence it switches over to some other process.
It maintains the working of all the systems simultaneously.
•As the name suggests, the time is being equally shared for all the
processes. Hence, multi-tasking is multi- programming with time
sharing. The various tasks are scheduled to access the CPU for a fixed
time limit known as the time quantum.
•The switching of CPU among various processes is so rapid that it gives
us an illusion of all processes working at the same time.

12. Advantages of Time sharing
system
•The following are the advantages of using the time sharing
operating systems:
⮚Reduced response time.
⮚Reduced CPU’s idle time.
⮚It avoids the duplication of the software.

13. Disadvantages of Time
sharing system
•The following are the disadvantages of the time sharing operating
systems:
⮚The integrity and security of a user’s program is a doubt.
⮚Problem of reliability.
⮚Problem of data communication.

14. Distributed operating System
• A distributed operating system is a kind of system which uses
MULTIPLE CENTRAL PROCESSORS. This is done in a motive of
serving multiple real- time applications and multiple users. These
processors get the distributed amount of data processing jobs
accordingly.
• Consider an example in which a company has a lot of systems but has only
one printer. All the members of the company want to take the printouts
at the same time. This distributed operating system provides the users
the access to that printer using different systems.
• This is possible only when all the systems of the company are linked
together by a single communication network.
• Linking the systems does not mean that the data of each system is being
shared with each other, it rather means that when a task is to be performed,
it could be performed using any of the given systems in order to enhance the
pace of work.

15. ADVANTAGES
The following are the advantages of using the distributed operating
systems:
•A user at one site could get an access to the resource which is
available at another site using this resource sharing facility.
•The speed of data exchange with one another could be enhanced by using
email.
•Also even if one site of work encounters a failure, the remaining
sites still potentially remain operating.
•It also helps in reduction of the load on the host computer.
•Data exchange process within the network is fast and reliable.

16. The following are the disadvantages of the
distributed operating systems:
•The entire communication relies upon a single network and
hence failure in this network will result in the failure of the entire
communication.
•The language used to establish the distributed systems are
not well defined yet.
•This kind of a system is very expensive and it is not readily
available as the underlying software of this system is highly complex.
DISADVANTAGES

17. Network operating System
• The network operating system is similar to distributed operating
system when their architecture is concerned. This type of a system is a
system that runs upon a server and provides the server the ability to
manage the applications, security, users, data and other networking
functions.
• The main motive of this kind of a system is to allow shared file and printer
access to multiple computers in a network. The multiplicity of computers
is known in such types of systems whereas in distributed type of
operating systems, the multiplicity is unknown. All the works to be
accessed are dependent upon the server and hence the work is done
manually through the server. The drawback of these kinds of systems is that
if any part of the server’s hardware encounters a problem, then all the
systems will get affected whereas this is not the case in a distributed
operating system.

18. Network operating System
The following operating systems are the examples of the network
operating system:
•WINDOWS SERVER 2003
•LINUX
•MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2008
•UNIX
•MAC OS X ETC…
ADVANTAGES OF NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM
•The followingare the advantages of
using a network operating system:
•The security of the system is managed by the server.
•The servers are centralized servers and are highly stable.
•The upgrades to new technologies and hardware can be easily
integrated into the system.
•The elements can be replaced when the need increases.

19. • These systems are quite expensive.
• The malfunctioning of the server affects the whole
communication and hence the entire network gets affected.
Disadvantages of the network
operating systems

20. Real Time operating System
These types of operating systems are the types of
those operating systems which do not perform buffering delays.
These operating systems are intended to serve the real time
applications. The deadline of a work is already fixed and hence the
chances of delays in such systems are negligible. The real time
operating system fails if it is not well defined or it does not have a fixed
time constraint.

21. APPLICATIONS
•They are used in the scientific experiments.
•Medical imaging systems
•Industrial control systems
•Weapon systems
•Air traffic control systems
•Robots
•Thermal power plants etc…
•The applications of such systems can easily help us to figure out the
reasons of having no buffering delays in real time operating systems
.

22. • Based upon the strictness of the time constraints, the real time operating
systems can be classified as follows:
• HARD REAL TIME SYSTEMS
• SOFT REAL TIME SYSTEMS
CLASSIFICATION

23. •These types of real type systems are the systems which strictly follows the
definition of a real time system. The time constraints are strictly followed
here and hence no delays are accepted.
EXAMPLES
•The following are places where the time constraints are strictly followed:
•Submarine signaling
•RADAR
•Air traffic control systems
•Delays in the signaling of such systems are proved to lead hazardous
accidents.
HARD REAL TIME SYSTEMS

24. SOFT REAL TIME SYSTEMS
These types of systems are the systems which are less strict when
compared to the hard time real systems and hence a little bit delay
could be accepted.
EXAMPLES:
The following are the examples of the soft real time systems:
• Multimedia
• Virtual reality
• Video conferencing etc…

25. Multi processing System
Generally a Computer has a Single Processor means a Computer
have a just one CPU for Processing the instructions. But if we
are Running multiple jobs, then this will decrease the Speed of CPU.
For Increasing the Speed of Processing then we uses the
Multiprocessing, in the Multi Processing there are two or More CPU in
a Single Operating System if one CPU will fail, then other CPU is
used for providing backup to the first CPU.
With the help of Multi- processing, we can Execute Many Jobs at a
Time. All the Operations are divided into the Number of CPU’s.
if first CPU Completed his Work before the Second CPU, then the Work
of Second CPU will be divided into the First and Second.
