Types of Operating Systems
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1Name all the types of operating systemsDistributed, Embedded, Multi-Tasking, Multi-User and Real Time Operating Systems
- 2Multi Tasking OSModern day computers usually have various applications open, such as word processors, utility programs etc. Multi-Tasking allows programs to work using scheduling and often involve many processors.
- 3Multi-UserThis allows multiple users working on one program for example school servers. There are multiple accounts that go to one main machine known as the server.
- 4DistributedThis involves the combining processing power for a single task across a network. The OS controls the computers showing them as if they are one massive computer.
- 5EmbeddedEmbedded OS include the inclusion of an OS on dedicated hardware with low powered processors and little memory. Despite this, it still successfully manages to maximise efficiency.
- 6Real-TimeReal Time OS involves processes to occur at a set period of time. Processors run at a set capacity.
