Classification of Operating System

The document discusses different types of operating systems including multiprocessing operating systems, multi-tasking operating systems, and real-time operating systems. Multiprocessing operating systems divide work into subtasks that are assigned to separate CPUs using communication between processors. Multi-tasking operating systems allow a single CPU to switch between executing different programs rapidly using time slices. Real-time operating systems are used for applications like industrial control where events must be processed within tight deadlines measured in tenths of seconds.
