Times Sharing OS
A timesharing operating system, also known as a multitasking operating system, allows multiple users to share a single computer system simultaneously. Here are three key points about timesharing operating systems:
Concurrent Execution: Timesharing OS divides the CPU time into small time intervals called time slices or time slots. Each user is allocated a portion of the CPU time during these time slices, allowing multiple users to run their programs concurrently.
Fair Resource Allocation: Timesharing systems use scheduling algorithms to allocate CPU time to different users and processes. These algorithms ensure fairness by giving each user an equal or proportional share of the CPU, depending on the scheduling policy.
Interactive Access: One of the primary goals of timesharing operating systems is to provide interactive access to the computer. Users can interact with the system in real-time, executing commands, running programs, and receiving immediate responses. This enables efficient use of the system's resources by allowing multiple users to work simultaneously.
