Knowledge in Types of operating system

Distributed operating system

Here we have several types of operating systems. We previously studied about client server operating system. And now let us know about distributed operating system. It is also a software which is a collection of independent, networked,communicating and physically separate computational nodes. This distributed operating system handles many jobs provided by the CPU. Here it includes different software systems as well as kernel and also network which is the interface.

Real time operating system

This real time operating systems are used to serve the real time applications through a software. It is a time bound operating system. Here in this type , the processing must be finished within the allotted time or within the defined constraints otherwise the system will fail. These are either event driven OS or time sharing OS . We already know that event driven systems processes the tasks based on their priority where as time sharing are the time slot is allotted for every process meanwhile. This real time OS has two interfaces man-machine interface and instrumentation interface. Here in real time OS we have an advanced algorithm for scheduling the processes.

Clustered operating system

This clustered systems is similar to the multi processing systems. These systems gather the multiple cous to complete the given tasks. But this clustered systems are differ from the multi processing systems. This clustered systems share the storage and linked via local area network (LAN) . Here from the mentioned diagram we can know about the clustered systems briefly. That all the cous of different systems are collected and it also represents that it shares the storage area . If any one system or cou fails ,even though , the service will continue.

Types of Operating System

Types of Operating Systems Following are some of the most widely used types of Operating system. **Simple Batch System **Multiprogramming Batch System **Multiprocessor System **Desktop System **Distributed Operating System **Clustered System **Realtime Operating System **Handheld System ; Among all above types, mainly five are widely known and studied.
