What is meant by a Multi-Processing Operating System?
A multiprocessing operating system is defined as a type of operating system that makes use of more than one CPU to improve performance. Multiple processors work parallelly in multi-processing operating systems to perform the given task. All the available processors are connected to peripheral devices, computer buses, physical memory, and clocks. The main aim of the multi-processing operating system is to increase the speed of execution of the system. The use of a multiprocessing operating system improves the overall performance of the system. For example, UNIX, LINUX, and Solaris are the most widely used multi-processing operating system.
Multi Processing Operating System
The operating system functions like a manager of all the available resources. Therefore operating system is defined as an interface between the system and the user. There are various types of operating systems such as Batch Operating Systems, Multi-programming Operating Systems, distributed operating systems time-sharing operating systems, real-time operating systems, and distributed operating systems. Each operating system offers different types of features and advantages. The below article covers in detail the Multiprocessing operating system.
