Define the essential properties of Batch interactive time sharing real time network parallel distributed clustered handheld?

Answer 1

a. Batch - To batch similar jobs together so that they can run at the

same time.

b. Interactive - reduce response time so that users get a quick response

while interacting with the system.

c. Time Sharing - the CPU will execute multiple jobs by switching

among them, but the switches occur so frequently that the users

can interact with each program while its running.

d. Real Time - used when rigid time requirements are placed on the

operation of a processor or the flow of data.

e. Network - this is simply a communication path between two or more

systems. Sharing file systems or other resources across the net.

f. Parallel - this system gathers multiple CPUs together to perform

computational work. This is just a way of saying multiprocessor

system.

g. Distributed - allow users to share resources across geographically

dispersed locations via a network.

h. Clustered - two or more individual systems that are coupled together

that make a resource or service redundant or highly-available. This

type of system also gathers multiple CPUs together to perform

computational work.

i. Handheld - these devices are usually palms or cell-phones and have

restraints on CPU speed and power consumption.
