Multi-tasking:-
Multi-tasking is a logical extension of multiprogramming. Multitasking is the
ability of an OS to execute more than one task simultaneously on a
CPU machine. These multiple tasks share common resources (like CPU and
memory). In multi-tasking systems, the CPU executes multiple jobs by
switching among them typically using a small time quantum, and the switches
occur so quickly that the users feel like interact with each executing task at the
same time.
4.Discuss the Classification of the kernel with respect to
Operating system.
Ans:- Kernel is central component of an operating system that manages
operations of computer and hardware. It basically manages operations of
memory and CPU time. It is core component of an operating system. Kernel
acts as a bridge between applications and data processing performed at
hardware level using inter-process communication and system calls.
Objectives of Kernel :
Types of Kernel :
1. Monolithic Kernel –
It is one of types of kernel where all operating system services operate
in kernel space. It has dependencies between systems components. It has
huge lines of code which is complex.
Example:
Unix, Linux, Open VMS, XTS-400 etc.
2. Micro Kernel –
It is kernel types which has minimalist approach. It has virtual memory and
thread scheduling. It is more stable with less services in kernel space. It puts
rest in user space.
It is use in small os.
Example :
EROS etc.
