Types of operating systems

Today there are lot of operating systems in the internet but actually they are only based on these main operating systems. What we see on internet is that windows is an OS, Linux is an OS but actually it is not really true. These are true only in simple understanding but when we explore computers more then we see there are lot of types of operating systems available in the market. These are written below......

  1. Batch Operating System
  2. Multi-programming OS.
  3. Time-sharing or multitasking operating systems
  4. Distributed operating System
  5. Network operating System
  6. Real Time operating System
  • Hard real--time systems
  • Soft real--time systems

Batch operating system:

  • These operating system can not interact directly with the computer.
  • Batch processing is a technique in which an Operating System collects the programs and data together in a batch before processing starts.

 

Multi-programming OS:

  • These type of OS are able to run multiple jobs simultaneously in the memory.
  • For it, memory is considered as a partitioned device, so that each job can reside in a partition.
 

Time-sharing or Multitasking operating systems:

  • Time-sharing is a technique which enables many people, located at various terminals, to use a particular computer system at the same time.
  • Time-sharing or multitasking is a logical extension of multi-programming.
 

Distributed operating System:

  • Distributed systems use multiple central
    processors to serve multiple real-time
    applications and multiple users.
  • Data processing jobs are distributed among the
    processors accordingly. 

Network operating System:

  • These Operating System runs on a server and provides the server the capability to manage data, user's, groups, security, applications, and other networking functions.
  • The main(primary) purpose of these kind of operating system is to allow shared file and printers access among multiple computers in a network, typically a local area network (LAN), a private network or to other networks.

Real Time operating System:

  • It can be defined as a data processing system, where the time interval required to processes and respond to inputs is so small, that it controls the environment.
  • The time taken by the system to respond to an input and display of required updated information is termed as the response time. So in this method, the response time is very less as compared to online processing. 

Hard real--time systems:

  • Hard real--time systems guarantee that critical tasks complete on time.
  • In hard real-time systems, secondary storage is limited or missing and the data is stored in ROM.

Soft real-time systems:

  • Soft real-time systems are less restrictive. A critical real-time task gets priority over other tasks and retains the priority until it completes.
  • Soft real-time systems have limited utility than hard real-time systems.

A Digital Computer

 A digital computer is a digital system that performs various computational tasks. The word "Digital" implies that the information in the computer is represented by variables that take a limited number of discrete values. These values are processed internally by components that can maintain a limited number of discrete states. These discrete values are taken by the decimal digits 0 to 9.  The first electronic digital systems was developed at 1940s late, it was primarily only used for some numerical computations.  As we all know a digital computer uses binary number system & it can only understand a binary number. And a binary number has only 2 digits 0 & 1 . Let me tell you one more interesting thing is that a binary digit is called "bit" here. That means if we use 0 it means its a bit, and vise versa.  In a digital computer all information is only represented in group of bits. After using various programming techniques & some algorithms, these grou...

A technical preview of an Operating System

Operating System (OS): An Operating system consists of a set of programs which controls, co-ordinates and supervises the activities of the various components of a computer system. Its function is to link between the computer hardware and the user. An operating system is a software or a series of programmes, which performs various types of functions in order to manage and organize file so". Objectives:  There are lot of objectives of an operating system, actually it covers the birth of a perfect operating system. A user is just like a wanting animal they just want everything. But as a developer we are just tying to make our software more & more better as per user requests. These are some main objectives ------ To describe the basic organization of computer systems. To provide a grand tour of the major components of operating systems. Provide more convenient environment for users. Provide maximum utilized performance to users as per hardware existance. Computer Startup: When a c...

why visiting darkweb is not too easy?

DARK WEB :       Today we will talk about Dark-Web ,   the Dark-Web is a WWW(World wide web) content that exists on the internet but we need specific software, system configurations or authorized access to see or make changes in this content. Dark-web is just a part of the internet where 90% of internet data is available right now. The Dark-Web contents are not shown by normal search engines like Google , Bing or other search engines.          The dark-web include small peer to peer and friend to friend networks, as well as large, popular networks such as Tor, Freenet etc. operated by public organizations and individuals.  Users of the dark web refer to the regular web as clean net due to its unencrypted nature. The Tor dark web or onion browsing uses the traffic anonymization technique of onion-routing in the network's top-level-domain suffix .onion REAL WORLD:  If we talk about real world scenarios ...

Types of Softwares

Software generally categorized into two types, which are as follows : System Softwares Application Softwares.        System Softwares:      A system software is a set of programs which is designed to control different-different operations and more extend processing capabilities of a computer system. It can perform these functions one or more depending on program requirements on a given task. Supports the development of other application software. Supports the execution of other application software. Handles the effective & efficient use of various hardware resources, such as CPU, memory peripherals etc.  Controls and communicate with the operation of peripheral devices such as printer disk, tape etc.     And system software makes the operation of a computer system more effective and efficient as we can see in its functions. It help the hardware components work together. These programme which are included in a system software p...
