Working of Multi-Processing Operating System
- Multi-processing operating system consists of multiple CPUs. Each CPU is connected to the main memory.
- The task to be performed id divided among all the processors.
- For faster execution and improved performance, each processor is assigned a specific task.
- Once all the tasks of each processor are completed they are compiled together in order to produce a single output.
- The allocation of resources for each processor is handled by the operating system. This process results in better utilization of the available resources and improved performance.
The below diagram describes the working of multi-processing operating systems.
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.
