F451- Operating Systems Information on all of the types of operating systems 0.0 / 5 ? ComputingOperating systemsASOCR Created by: GrasshopperCreated on: 27-02-14 18:26 Batch OS Data is collected and inputted into system Inputs are stored as 'jobs' to be processed later and collected into batches Processing occurs when all inputs are collected Large amounts of data to be processed Processing carried out from beginning to end without human interaction No need for instant responses to input (not time sensitive) Inputted data is similar in nature and requires similar processing 1 of 6 Real-Time OS Data is processed instantly and system responds instantly to changes in input Output affects input and occurs before next input Computer responds within set time limit 2 of 6 Single User OS Allows one user at a time to use system Allocates each user with processing time Keeps user files separate 3 of 6 Multi User OS Allows more than one user to access system and files simultaneously Users have own unique access to computer Allocates each user with processing time Keeps user files separate 4 of 6 Multi-tasking OS Allows more than one task to run simultaneously Use of separate windows for each task Each task is given an amount of processing time before going to next (e.g. play music while typing essay) 5 of 6 Distributed Systems File storage or processing is shared between different computers at different locations, which make up the entire system Users will be unaware of the exact physical location of the data that they are accessing Speeds up access to files because no single place all the information must pass through 6 of 6
