Batch operating systems optimize resource utilization by executing jobs sequentially without user interaction, enhancing productivity and throughput. They have evolved from early mainframes using punched cards to modern systems leveraging cloud computing and big data technologies. Key components include job schedulers and resource managers, with advantages such as improved throughput and cost-effectiveness, though challenges like job dependencies and maintenance remain.

Batch Operating

System: Efficient
Resource
Utilization
Batch operating systems are designed to optimize the use of
computer resources by executing jobs in a sequential,
scheduled manner. This approach enables efficient processing
of large volumes of data and tasks, improving overall system
productivity and throughput.

Job Scheduling and Batch Execution
Job Submission
Users or applications submit jobs to the batch system for processing.

Job Prioritization
The scheduler assigns priorities to jobs based on predefined rules and policies.

Job Execution
The system allocates resources and runs jobs in the order determined by
the scheduler.

Job Monitoring
The batch system tracks job status and progress, providing visibility and
reporting capabilities.
