What is the difference between Light-weight process and heavyweight process?

Light weight process are the process are the processes which is considered for the os as less burden like thread.means the threads are executing inside a process which share the same code and data also memory space of a single process that's it has a less burden to the os and considered as a light weight process.also the communication between the threads are much more efficient. where as in case of a heavy weight process for doing multiple task the os has to create multiple processes which have a multiple memory address space and for communication between them they have to use inter process communication using sockets and pipe and which has more burden on the os than the threads(ligt weight processes) and hence considered as a heavy weight process


Difference between user view and system view of operating system?

User view: 1) the user view of the computer system varies by the interface being used. System view: 1)the operating system is a program that is most intimate with computer h/w. User view: 2)The OS is designed for "ease of use" some attention paid to none paid resource utilization. System view: 2)we can view an os is resource allocator. The os as act as the manager of the system. User view: 3) Some user sit at a terminal connected to mainframe or minicomputer. User share resources & may exchange information. That is designed for resource utilization. System view: 3)os was exist because they are reasonable way to solve the problems at creating a usable Computer system. The goal of pc is to execute user program and make solving problems easier.
