    Batch Processing System, Time-Sharing and Spooling

    This document provides an overview of batch processing systems, time-sharing operating systems, and spooling. It discusses how batch processing involves grouping similar jobs together to run sequentially, with users submitting punch cards and later receiving output, while time-sharing systems allow multiple users to access the computer simultaneously by rapidly switching between processes. Spooling is described as buffering jobs in memory or disk to allow faster and slower devices to access data independently.

    Time-Sharing Operating System

    Spooling

    Batch Processing

    In Batch processing same type of jobs batch (BATCH- a set of


    jobs with similar needs) together and execute at a time.
    The OS was simple, its major task was to transfer control from
    one job to the next.
    The job was submitted to the computer operator in form of
    punch cards. At some later time the output appeared.
    Common Input devices were card readers and tape drives.
    Common output devices were line printers, tape drives, and card
    punches.

    Batch Processing (Cont)

    Users did not interact directly with the computer


    systems, but he prepared a job (comprising of the
    program, the data, & some control information).

    Advantages

    A computer using batch processing can process large


    volumes, or batches, of instructions or files sequentially.

    Keeps machine busy while programmer thinks

    Improves throughput and utilization

    Disadvantages

    User must wait until batch is done for results.

    Machine is idle when job is reading from cards and


    writing to print.

    It is difficult to provide the desired priority scheduling.

    Time lost switching between batches.

    Time Sharing Systems

    Time-sharing refers to sharing a computing


    resources among many users by multitasking

    Time sharing, or multitasking, is a logical extension of


    multiprogramming.

    Multiple jobs are executed by switching the CPU between


    them.

    In this, the CPU time is shared by different processes, so it is


    called as Time sharing Systems.

    Examples: Multics, Unix, etc.,

    Advantages

    Work directly with the computer and see results


    immediately

    CPU is used most of the time

    Lots of users at the same time

    Disadvantages
    Much more expensive to develop
    Hard to implement

    Time-sharing between process A and


    process B

    Spooling

    Spooling refers to putting jobs in a buffer, a special area


    in memory or on a disk where a device can access them
    when it is ready.

    Spooling is useful because devices access data at


    different rates. The buffer provides a waiting station
    where data can rest while the slower device catches up.

    The most common spooling application is print spooling.
