singletasking is OS which will opperate for single operations,Multi-tasking is a property of an Operating System, not hardware. As implied by the other answers, multi-tasking is the ability to actively manage execution of more than one process or thread simultaneously. That is, the Operating System itself can schedule and manage multiple thread or processes running simultaneously.
Multiprocessing refers to a computer system's ability to support more than one process (program) at the same time. Multiprocessing operating systems enable several programs to run concurrently. UNIX is one of the most widely used multiprocessing systems, but there are many others, including OS/2 for high-end PCs. Multiprocessing systems are much more complicated than single-process systems because the operating system must allocate resources to competing processes in a reasonable manne
Multitasking, the ability to run several processes at the same time, is a feature of most modern computer operating systems.
these types of operating systems can not used for multitasking.
As computers have progressed and developed so have the operating systems. Below is a basic list of the different operating systems and a few examples of operating systems that fall into each of the categories. Many computer operating systems will fall into more than one of the below categories. GUI - Short for Graphical User Interface, a GUI Operating System contains graphics and icons and is commonly navigated by using a computer mouse. See the GUI definition for a complete definition. Below are some examples of GUI Operating Systems. System 7.x Windows 98 Windows CE Multi-user - A multi-user operating system allows for multiple users to use the same computer at the same time and different times. See the multi-user definition for a complete definition for a complete definition. Below are some examples of multi-user operating systems. Linux Unix Windows 2000 Multiprocessing - An operating system capable of supporting and utilizing more than one computer processor. Below are some examples of multiprocessing operating systems. Linux Unix Windows 2000 Multitasking - An operating system that is capable of allowing multiple software processes to run at the same time. Below are some examples of multitasking operating systems. Unix Windows 2000 Multithreading - Operating systems that allow different parts of a software program to run concurrently. Operating systems that would fall into this category are: Linux Unix Windows 2000
False. Windows XP is a preemptive multitasking system. All contemporary operating systems are designed to use preemptive multitasking.
1) GUI(Graphical User Interface) Vs CLI 2) Multi-user vs. Single user 3) Multitasking 4) Multiprocessing 5) Multithreading 6) Networked vs. standalone 7) Real-time Systems
There are many types of single user operating systems available today; they encompass the systems found on mobile phones and personal computers. Examples of popular single user, multitasking operating systems, for example, include Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
Almost all modern computer hardware, including the Macintosh range of computers, and operating systems are multi-tasking.
Despite being created by different software developers, most operating systems today are graphical-interface-oriented. Also, most of the OS's, including three of the most popular (Windows, Macintosh and Linux) support multitasking.
A Multi-tasking system is a system that can handle multiple tasks at the same time. Modern operating systems (Windows XP for example) can run multiple programs at the same time, and are a good example of multitasking systems
