Types of operating
Introduction
(1) To make the computer system convenient and easy to use for the user.
(2) To use the computer hardware in an efficient way.
(3) To execute user programs and make solving user problems easier.
Scope:
Have a look at the various types of operating systems.
Contrast the various classes of operating systems.
Look at some examples, use cases, benefits, and disadvantages of each
type.
Draw parallels between:
o Linux, Windows, macOS
o 64-bit OS and 32-bit OS
o Batch OS, Time-Sharing OS, Distributed OS, Real-Time OS,
Networking OS
A batch operating system grabs all programs and data in the batch form and then processes
them. The main aim of using a batch processing system is to decrease the setup time while
submitting similar jobs to the CPU. Batch processing techniques were implemented in the
hard disk and card readers as well. In this case, all jobs are saved on the hard disk for making
the pool of jobs for their execution as a batch form.
A batch monitor is started for executing all pooled jobs, after reading them. These jobs are
divided into groups, and finally, precede the same jobs in a similar batch. Now all batched
jobs are ready for execution one by one, and due to this system enhances the system
utilization while decreasing the turnaround time.
Advantages
In a batch system, all jobs are performed in repeating form without the user’s
permission.
Can be feed input data in the batch processing system without using extra hardware
components.
Small scale businesses can use batch processing systems for executing small tasks to
their benefit.
Forgiving rest to the system’s processors, your batch system is capable to work in off-
line mode.
Batch processing system consumes less time for executing all jobs.
Sharing of the batch system for multiple users is possible.
The idle time of the batch system is very less.
You can assign a specific time for the batch jobs so when the computer is idle it starts
processing the batch jobs.
The batch systems can manage large repeated work easily.

A time-shared operating system uses CPU scheduling and multiprogramming to provide each
user with a small portion of a time-shared computer. Each user has at least one separate
program in memory. When a process executes, it executes for only a short time before it
either finishes or needs to perform input/output. In time-sharing operating systems several
jobs must be kept simultaneously in memory, so the system must have memory management
and protection.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Reliability problem.
One must have to take of security and integrity of user programs and data.
Data communication problem.
Examples
A distributed operating system allows the distribution of entire systems on the couples of
center processors, and it serves on multiple real-time products as well as multiple users. All
processors are connected by valid communication mediums such as high-speed buses and
telephone lines, and in which every processor contains its local memory along with other
local processors.
The Distributed operating systems are also known as loosely coupled systems. They involve
multiple computers, nodes, and sites. These components are linked to each other with
LAN/WAN lines. A distributed OS is capable of sharing its computational capacity and I/O
files while allowing virtual machine abstraction to users.
Advantages
A distributed operating system may share all resources from one site to another,
increasing data availability across the entire system.
It reduces the probability of data corruption because all data is replicated across all sites.
The entire system operates independently of one another, and as a result, if one site
crashes, the entire system does not halt.
A distributed operating system is an open system since it may be accessed from both
local and remote locations.
It helps in the reduction of data processing time.
Most distributed systems are made up of several nodes that interact to make them
fault- tolerant. If a single machine fails, the system remains operational.
Disadvantages
The system must decide which jobs must be executed when they must be executed,
and where they must be executed. A scheduler has limitations, which can lead to
underutilized hardware and unpredictable runtimes.
It is hard to implement adequate security in a distributed operating system since the
nodes and connections must be secured.
The database connected to a DOS is relatively complicated and hard to manage in
contrast to a single-user system.
The underlying software is extremely complex and is not understood very well
compared to other systems.
The more widely distributed a system is, the more communication latency can be
expected. As a result, teams and developers must choose between availability,
consistency, and latency.
Gathering, processing, presenting, and monitoring hardware use metrics for big
clusters can be a real issue.

Network Operating System is an operating system that has special functions for connecting
computers and devices into a local-area network or Inter-network. Some popular network
operating systems are Windows NT/2000, Novell Netware, Linux, UNIX, Sun Solaris, and
IBM OS/2. The network operating system which was first developed is Novell Netware, in
1983.

An RTOS can be a powerful tool if you’re creating complex embedded programs. They help
isolate tasks and give you the ability to run them concurrently. You can set prioritization
levels of tasks in most RTOSes, which allow some tasks to interrupt and run before other
tasks. This is known as “preemption.” If you need concurrency or are getting into deeper
embedded concepts like IoT or machine learning, it's wise to add RTOSes and multi-threaded
programming to your toolkit.
Advantages
Priority-Based Scheduling.
Abstracting Timing Information.
Maintainability/Extensibility.
Modularity.
Promotes Team Development.
Easier Testing.
Code Reuse.
Improved Efficiency.
Idle Processing.
Disadvantages
Limited Tasks.
Use Heavy System resources.
Complex Algorithms.
Device driver and interrupt signals.
Thread Priority.

Embedded operating systems are built into Internet of Things devices. They are also part of
many other devices and systems. In most cases, embedded hardware doesn't have much
capacity and has fewer resources. So, the amount of processing power and memory is limited.
Advantages
Disadvantages
14
Examples
1. Multitasking OS: Enables execution of multiple programs at the same time. The
operating system accomplishes this by swapping each program in and out of memory
one at a time. When a program is switched out of memory, it is temporarily saved on
disk until it is required again.
2. Multiuser Operating System: This allows many users to share processing time on a
powerful central computer from different terminals. The operating system
accomplishes this by rapidly switching between terminals, each of which receives a
limited amount of processor time on the central computer.

Multiprocessor operating system utilizes multiple processors, which are connected with
physical memory, computer buses, clocks, and peripheral devices (touchpad, joystick, etc).
The main objective of using a multiprocessor OS is to consume high computing power and
increase the execution speed of the system.
Following are four major components, used in the Multiprocessor Operating System:
1. CPU – capable to access memories as well as controlling the entire I/O tasks.
2. Input Output Processor – I/P processor can access direct memories, and every I/O
processors have to be responsible for controlling all input and output tasks.
3. Input/Output Devices – These devices are used for inserting the input commands,
and producing output after processing.
4. Memory Unit – Multiprocessor system uses the two types of memory modules -
shared memory and distributed shared memory.
Advantages
Great Reliability.
Improve Throughput.
Cost-Effective System.
Parallel Processing.
Disadvantages

The control program which operates in the machine of a user is referred to as a desktop
system. It is also called a Client Operating System. The client can be said as a computer in a
network where the user performs some task or activity over the network. Such operating
systems do not have complete control over the resources but use the network to access them.
These computer systems only use the network to execute tasks such as downloading a file
from the network or browsing the internet. Desktop systems usually operate with a server
computer that has complete control over the resources. The processing power remains in the
hands of the server OS, which is developed in such a way that it can fulfill all the
requirements of the client or the desktop operating system.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Network congestion as multiple requests from the clients can block the network traffic.
The architecture of request and response is not robust enough for heavy processing.
If the server fails, all the desktop systems connected over the network fail.
If the service interrupts, the task has to be started from scratch. For instance, if a
desktop system requests a file download that gets interrupted, the file becomes
corrupt, and the entire process needs to be carried out from the start.
The operating system architecture is highly costly.
A professional IT personnel is needed to manage and maintain such an operating
environment.

A mobile operating system is an operating system that helps run application software on
mobile devices. It is the same kind of software as the famous computer operating systems
Linux and Windows, but they are light and simple to some extent. The operating systems
found on smartphones include Symbian OS, IOS, BlackBerryOS, Windows Mobile, Palm
WebOS, Android, and Maemo.
Android, WebOS, and Maemo are all derived from Linux. The iPhone OS originated from
BSD and NeXTSTEP, which are related to Unix. It combines the power of a computer and
the experience of a hand-held device. It typically contains a cellular built-in modem and SIM
tray for telephony and internet connections.
Advantages
Convenience inoperability.
It also includes open-source platforms.
Gives notification ease.
Disadvantages
Instability.
It also includes poor battery quality.
Not sufficient computational power.

Cluster systems are similar to parallel systems. Both use multiple CPUs. The primary
difference is that clustered systems are made up of two or more independent systems linked
together. They have independent computer systems and shared storage media, and all systems
work together to complete all tasks. All cluster nodes use two different approaches to interact
with one another, like a message passing interface and a parallel virtual machine.
There are two clusters available to make a more efficient cluster. These are as follows:
Advantages
High Availability
Cost Efficiency
Additional Scalability
Fault Tolerance

Examples
Oracle provides a Linux-based operating system that is clustered.
Handheld systems include Personal Digital Assistants, and connectivity to a network such as
the Internet. They are usually of limited size due to which most handheld devices have a
small amount of memory, include slow processors, and feature small display screens.
Many handheld devices have a memory in a range of 512512 KB to 88 MB. As a result, the
operating system and applications must manage memory efficiently. This includes returning
all allocated memory to the memory manager once the memory is no longer being used. Not
many handheld devices use virtual memory techniques, thus forcing program developers to
work within the confinements of restricted physical memory.
Another issue programmers deal with while developing software for handheld devices is their
small display screens. One approach for displaying the content in web pages is web clipping,
where only a small subset of a web page is delivered and displayed on the handheld device.
Some handheld devices may use wireless technology such as Bluetooth, Wifi, NFC.

Microsoft established AI models that scan for possible threats continuously. It also features
the biggest malware signature database for its OS to ensure its users are guarded against
cyber scams and attacks and keeps your data well-protected.
Mac OS is known for its security provisions. Many of the newer Mac models even come
embedded with the Apple T2 Security Chip. This chip fits is capable of securing the system
even for the lowest levels of software. Its Secure Enclave coprocessor is the basis for secure
booting, encrypted storage capabilities, Touch ID, etc.
Since it’s open-source, Linux distributions could be the most secure operating system. When
you have hundreds of users analyzing the source code, vulnerabilities are easily tackled.
Linux correctly estimates the benefits of having security policies that complement each other.
This could be why a growing number of users and analysts are switching to Linux.
Software
There's a miriad of application software choices in Windows. However, the lack of a unified
store combined with the abundance of options can make some users feel overwhelmed,
especially since there’s no guidance or support to walk them through it. PC gamers, as well as
gaming developers and publishers, are also favoring Windows.
Linux comes with a unified install setup system. Its smaller user base means fewer options.
Yet, its open-source nature is opening up new possibilities. One of these is in the gaming
industry.
Cons
Windows suffers more from security breaches and hackings. More people use Windows
worldwide than any other operating system, which provides hackers with a massive pool of
targets. With more users, there’s a wider collection of marks to choose from.
There are vulnerabilities in the MacOS that arise from time to time. Now since over 10% of
the market share is Mac users. This is making cybercriminals take notice of this system.
Being open-source is both good as well as evil. Having that joint effort and cooperation
makes some people feel their data might be exposed. Because anyone can access the Linux
source code, some organizations are wary and a bit skeptical of its level of security.
23
A key difference is, 32-bit processors are perfectly capable of handling a limited amount of
RAM (in Windows, 4GB or less), and 64-bit processors utilize relatively more. A major
difference between 32-bit processors and 64-bit processors is the number of computations per
second they perform, which affects the speed at which they can complete tasks.
A batch OS fetches all programs and data in the batch form then performs processing. The
main goal of using a batch processing system is to decrease the setup time while submitting
similar jobs to the CPU. Batch processing techniques were implemented in the hard disk and
card readers as well. In this case, all jobs are saved on the hard disk for making the pool of
jobs for their execution as a batch form. A batch monitor is started for executing all pooled
jobs, after reading them. These jobs are divided into groups, and finally, precede the same
jobs in a similar batch. Now all batched jobs are ready for execution one by one without
wasting more time, and this system enhances the system utilization while reducing the
turnaround time.

processors, and it serves multiple real-time products as well as multiple users. All processors
are connected by valid communication mediums such as high-speed buses and telephone
lines, and in which every processor contains its local memory along with other local

Network Operating System has special functions for connecting computers and devices into a
local-area network or Inter-network. Some popular network operating systems are Novell
Netware, Linux, IBM OS/2, etc. The network operating system which was first developed is
Novell Netware. There are two basic types of network operating systems, discussed as
follows:
Real time OS
A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system (often a lightweight OS) that
runs multi-threaded applications and can meet real-time deadlines.
Most RTOSes include a scheduler, resource management, and device drivers. When talking
about “deadlines”, “fast” is not the necessary implication. An RTOS can be a powerful tool if
you’re creating complex embedded programs. They help you isolate tasks and give you the
ability to run them concurrently. You can set prioritization levels of tasks in most RTOSes,
which allow some tasks to interrupt and run before other tasks.
