Summary of Multiprocessing Operating System | Advantages and Disadvantages | Types of Operating System
The video discusses the Multiprocessing Operating System (MPOS), highlighting its features, advantages, and disadvantages, as well as its architecture and types.
Key Concepts:
- Definition of Multiprocessing Operating System: An MPOS allows multiple processes to be executed simultaneously across multiple CPUs, unlike multitasking or multiprogramming systems that handle one process at a time by switching contexts.
- Architecture: The architecture involves multiple CPUs connected to a single memory, where processes can be distributed among the CPUs for simultaneous execution.
- Types of Multiprocessing Operating Systems:
- Symmetrical Multiprocessor: All CPUs have equal rights and can perform tasks independently.
- Asymmetrical Multiprocessor: One master CPU controls the system while other CPUs follow its instructions.
Advantages:
- Maximum Throughput: Higher number of processes can be executed in a unit of time.
- Reliability: If one CPU fails, others can continue processing, enhancing system reliability.
- Economic Efficiency: Cost-effective when using multiple CPUs compared to traditional single-CPU systems.
Disadvantages:
- Complexity: Managing multiple processors and processes can be complicated.
- Memory Requirements: A larger pool of memory is needed to handle multiple processes compared to single-CPU systems.
Conclusion:
The video emphasizes the importance of understanding the functionalities and implications of using a Multiprocessing Operating System, as well as encouraging viewers to engage with the channel.
