MULTI-PROCESSING OPERATING SYSTEM

• In the multi-processing operating system, multiple CPU's perform more than one job at one time.
• Its aim/goal is to achieve increased speed or computing power.
• It differs from the time-sharing operating system in the manner that it refers to CPU's.

there are two types of multi-processing operating system:-

• Symmetric multi-processor
• Asymmetric multiprocessor

1. Symmetric multi-processor

In symmetric multi-processor, each processor runs a similar copy of the operating system and these copies communicate with one another when needed.

2.  Asymmetric multi-processor

In asymmetric multi-processor, each processor is assigned a special task. In this plan, there is a master processor, and all remaining processors known as the slave processor are controlled by the master.

master-slave relationship

ADVANTAGES

• Better in all filed.
• Better reliability.
• Better utilization of the resource.

DISADVANTAGE

• Large main memory is required.
• Such a system is very expensive.
