    This document discusses the different types of operating systems. It describes 7 types: mainframe operating systems which process large volumes of data and jobs; server operating systems which allow shared resources over a network; multiprocessor operating systems which coordinate multiple CPUs; personal computer operating systems which provide interfaces for single users; real-time operating systems which have time-sensitive requirements; embedded operating systems for devices like TVs and phones with size and power constraints; and smart card operating systems with very limited resources.

    OPERATING SYSTEM

    Lecture 2
    OPERATING SYSTEM TYPES

    1.MAİNFRAME OPERATİNG SYSTEMS


     These computers distinguish themselves from personal
    computers in terms of their I/O capacity. A mainframe
    with 1000 disks and thousands of gigabytes of data.
     The operating systems for mainframes are heavily
    oriented toward processing many jobs at once.
     They typically offer three kinds of services: batch,
    transaction processing, and timesharing.

    2
     A batch system is one that processes routine jobs without
    any interactive user, for example, sales reporting for a
    chain of stores is typically done in batch mode.(one at a
    time)
     Transaction processing systems handle large numbers of
    small requests, for example, check processing at a bank
    or airline reservations. Each unit of work is small, but
    the system must handle hundreds or thousands per
    second.
     Timesharing systems allow multiple remote users to run
    jobs on the computer at once, such as querying a big
    database.

    2. SERVER OPERATING SYSTEMS

     They run on servers, which are either very large personal


    computers, workstations, or even mainframes.
     They serve multiple users at once over a network and
    allow the users to share hardware and software
    resources.
     Servers can provide print service, file service, or Web
    service. Internet providers run many server machines to
    support their customers to store the Web sites and handle
    the incoming requests.
     Typical server operating systems are UNIX and
    Windows 2000.
    4
    3. MULTIPROCESSOR OPERATING SYSTEMS
     Multiple CPUs into a single system.

     These systems are called parallel computers,


    multicomputers, or multiprocessors depending on how
    they are connected and what is shared.

     They need special operating systems, but often these are


    variations on the server operating systems, with special
    features for communication and connectivity.

    4. PERSONAL COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEMS
     The next category is the personal computer operating
    system.
     Their job is to provide a good interface to a single user.
    They are widely used for word processing, spreadsheets,
    and Internet access.
     Common examples are Windows 98, Windows 2000, the
    Macintosh operating system, and Linux.
     Personal computer operating systems are so widely
    known that probably little introduction is needed. In fact,
    many people are not even aware that other kinds exist.

    6
    5. REAL-TIME OPERATING SYSTEMS
     Time is key parameter in this system. For example, in
    industrial process control systems, real-time computers
    have to collect data about the production process and use
    it to control machines in the factory.
     Often there are hard deadlines .If the action absolutely
    must occur at a certain moment (or within a certain
    range), we have a hard real-time system. A soft real-
    time system, in which missing an occasional deadline is
    acceptable.
     VxWorks and QNX are well-known real-time operating
    systems.
    7
    6. EMBEDDED OPERATING SYSTEMS
     PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) is a small computer
    that fits in a shirt pocket and performs a small number of
    functions .
     Embedded systems run on the computers that control
    devices that are not generally thought of as computers,
    such as TV sets, microwave ovens, and mobile
    telephones.
     These often have some characteristics of real-time
    systems but also have size, memory, and power
    restrictions that make them special.
     Examples of such operating systems are PalmOS and
    Windows CE (Consumer Electronics). 8
    7. SMART CARD OPERATING SYSTEMS
     The smallest operating systems run on smart cards,
    which are credit card-sized devices containing a CPU
    chip.
     They have very severe processing power and memory
    constraints. Some of them can handle only a single
    function, such as electronic payments, but others can
    handle multiple functions on the same smart card.
     Some smart cards are Java oriented and holds an
    interpreter for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
