Yes, all processors do require some type of operating system. If not a computerized operating system, then it's a humanly operated system.
There are basically four types of operating systems. They include Batch Operating System, Multiprogramming Operating System, Network Operating System and Distributed Operating System.
A multiprocessor OS. Mac OS, Windows, and Linux all currently support this(as well as many others).
Asymmetric multiprocessing - In asymmetric multiprocessing (ASMP), the operating system typically sets aside one or more processors for its exclusive use. The remainder of the processors run user applications. As a result, the single processor running the operating system can fall behind the processors running user applications. This forces the applications to wait while the operating system catches up, which reduces the overall throughput of the system. In the ASMP model, if the processor that fails is an operating system processor, the whole computer can go down. Symmetric mMultiprocessing - Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) technology is used to get higher levels of performance. In symmetric multiprocessing, any processor can run any type of thread. The processors communicate with each other through shared memory. SMP systems provide better load-balancing and fault tolerance. Because the operating system threads can run on any processor, the chance of hitting a CPU bottleneck is greatly reduced. All processors are allowed to run a mixture of application and operating system code. A processor failure in the SMP model only reduces the computing capacity of the system. SMP systems are inherently more complex than ASMP systems. A tremendous amount of coordination must take place within the operating system to keep everything synchronized. For this reason, SMP systems are usually designed and written from the ground up.
The major function of an operating system is to manage all resources of a system.
The operating system (OS) controls the hardware. A successful computer system will have hardware and an operating system. Application software is not required. All operating systems have a low level, or machine language to run the operation system and control all hardware.
1) Distributed Operating systems are also referred to as Loosely Coupled systems whereas parallel processin g systems are referred to as tightly coupled systems. 2) A Loosley coupled system is one in which the processors do not share memory and each processor has its own local memory whereas in a tightly coupled system there is a single systemwide primary memory shared by all the processors. 3) The processors of distributed operating systems can be placed far away from each other to cover a wider geographic area which is not the case with parallel processing systems. 4) The no. of processors that can be usefully deployed is very small in a parallel processing operating system whereas for a ditributed operating system a larger no. of processors can be usefully deployed....... 5)globle clock is used for controlling simd n mimd in parallel..... .in distributed no any global colck present in this synchronization algorithms are used 6)in the distributed operating system there is an unpredictable communication delays between processors whereas the processors in the parallel processing system share over an interconnection network
These days, all of them.

The Operating System (OS) connects the user, applications, and hardware together.
The major function of an operating system is to manage all resources of a system.
All computers must have some kind of Operating system to function.
Micro-Kernel: A micro-kernel is a minimal operating system that performs only the essential functions of an operating system. All other operating system functions are performed by system processes. Monolithic: A monolithic operating system is one where all operating system code is in a single executable image and all operating system code runs in system mode
The operating system (OS) controls the hardware. A successful computer system will have hardware and an operating system. Application software is not required. All operating systems have a low level, or machine language to run the operation system and control all hardware.
