FAKHRA MUNAWAR
A program that act as interface between
the software and computer hardware.
 System softwares that controls and
monitors the execution of all other programs
that resides in the computer, including
application programs and other system
software
Operating System
 The first operating system was created by
General Moters in 1956 to run a single IBM
central computer
 IBM was first manufacturer
 At that time computer could run only one
program at a time.
History Of Operating
System
 In the late 1960s, the first version of Unix
operating system was developed.
 Miscrosoft Windows was developed in
response to an IBM request for an operating
system to run its range of personal computers
for PCs
History Of Operating
System
 The Windows name was first used in 1985
when a graphical user interface was created
and paired or joined with the MS-DOS

Goals Or Objectives Of
Operating System
Multi-User Operating
System
 A multi-user operating system is an operating
system that permits several users to access a
single system running to a single operating
system. These systems are frequently quite
complex, and they must manage the tasks that
the various users connected to them require.
What is Multi-User
Operating System?
 User will usually sit at terminals or computers
connected to the system via a network and
other system machines like printers. A multi-
user operating system varies from a connected
single-user operating system in that each user
accesses the same operating system from
different machines. Users
What is Multi-User
Operating System?
 The main goal of developing a multi-user
operating system is to use it for time-sharing and
batch processing on mainframe systems.
 This multi-user operating system is now often
used in large organizations, the government
sector, educational institutions like large
universities, and on servers' side such as Ubuntu
Server or Windows Server. These servers allow
several users to access the operating system,
kernel, and hardware at the same time.
 It is usually responsible for handling memory
and processing for other running programs,
identifying and using system hardware, and
efficiently handling user interaction and data
requests. It's especially important for an
operating system, a multi-user operating
system because several users rely on the system
to function properly at the same time.
What is Multi-User
Operating System?
 There are various components of a multi-user operating
system. Some of them are as follows:
Memory
 The physical memory present inside the system is where
storage occurs. It is also known as Random Access
Memory (RAM). The system may rectify the data that is
present in the main memory.
 So, every executed program should be copied from
physical storage like a hard disk. Main memory is
determined as an important part of OS because it specifies
how many programs may be executed simultaneously.
Components of Multi-
User Operating System
 A multi-user operating system makes use of the
Kernel component, which is built in a low-level
language. This component is embedded in the
computer system's main memory and may
interact directly with the system's H/W.
Kernel
 The CPU (Central Processing Unit) of the
computer is sometimes known as the
computer's brain. In large machines, the CPU
would necessitate more ICS. On smaller
computers, the CPU is mapped in a single chip
known as a microprocessor.
Processor
 The user interface is the way of interaction
between users and all software and hardware
processes. It enables the users to interact with
the computer system in a simple manner.
User Interface
 Each input and output device needs its device
handler. The device handler's primary goal is to
provide all requests from the whole device
request queue pool. The device handler
operates in continuous cycle mode, first
discarding the I/O request block from the
queue side.
Device Handler
 Spooler stands for 'Simultaneous Peripheral
Output on Line'. The Spooler runs all computer
processes and outputs the results at the same
time. Spooling is used by a variety of output
devices, including printers.
Spooler
 There are various types of multi-user operating
systems. Some of them are as follows:
 Distributed System
 Time-Sliced Systems
 Multiprocessor System
Types of Multi-User
Operating System
 A distributed system is also known as
distributed computing. It is a collection of
multiple components distributed over multiple
computers that interact, coordinate, and seem
like a single coherent system to the end-user.
With the aid of the network, the end-user
would be able to interact with or operate them.
Distributed System
 It's a system in which each user's job gets a
specific amount of CPU time. In other words,
each work is assigned to a specific time period.
 These time slices look too small to the user's
eyes. An internal component known as the
'Scheduler' decides to run the next job. This
scheduler determines and executes the job that
must perform based on the priority cycle.
Time-Sliced Systems
 Multiple processors are used in this system,
which helps to improve overall performance. If
one of the processors in this system fails, the
other processor is responsible for completing its
assigned task.
Multiprocessor System
 The single master system is contained within
the multi-user system. All network users can
access the master system anytime and from any
place and open their local version of the
system.
 The local version is also known as a 'working
model'. All users can update, delete, and create
new files on their local working model, but this
model will not be available to other users until
it is saved to the master system.
How to work the Multi-
User operating system?
 There are various characteristics of a multi-user
operating system. Some of them are as follows:
 Resource Sharing
 Multi-Tasking
 Background Processing
 Time-Sharing
 System
 Invisibility
Characteristics of Multi-User
Operating System
 Several devices, like printers, fax machines,
plotters, and hard drives, can be shared in a
multi-user operating system. Users can share
their own documents using this functionality.
All users are given a small slice of CPU time
under this system.
Resource Sharing
 Multi-user operating systems may execute
several tasks simultaneously, and several
programs may also execute at the same time.
Multi-Tasking
 Background processing is a term that refers to
when commands are not processed but rather
executed "in the background". Usually, other
programs interact with the system in real-time.
Background Processing
 A strategy used by multi-user operating
systems to operate on several user requests at
the same time by switching between jobs at
very short periods of time.
Time-Sharing
 The operating system must handle a computer's
combination of hardware and software
resources.
System
 Various functions of the multi-user operating
system are hidden from users. It is due to
factors such as the OS being instinctive or
happening at the lower end, such as disk
formatting, etc.
Invisibility
 Unix
 Multiple Virtual Storage
 Shared Computing
Examples of Multi-User
Operating System
 A highly dependable open system architecture
for small and medium-scale business
computing systems. Because it is based on
Open System Architecture, tech giants
including AIX, Solaris, and even Mac OS have
their own version of Unix. For example, the
Hospitality industry, Healthcare, etc.
Unix
 IBM develops an operating system for use on
mainframe systems. It's commonly utilized in
enterprise computing, where high-intensity
I/O is required. For example, Banking,
Insurance, Aviation business, etc.
Multiple Virtual Storage
 A multi-user OS is a software that operates the
servers that support most webmail apps. A
typical webmail application may require the
utilization of hundreds of computers.
 Each one runs a multi-user operating system
capable of supporting various users at the same
time.
 Because these systems have millions, if not
billions, of users who constantly log on to check
their messages, they require operating systems
that can handle a high number of users at once.
Shared Computing
 There are various advantages of a multi-user operating
system. Some of the advantages are as follows:
 A multi-user operating system can be used in the
printing process to allow multiple users to access the
same printer, which a normal operating system may
not do.
 On a single computer system, several users can access
the same copy of a document. For instance, if a PPT file
is kept on one computer, other users can see it on other
systems.
Advantages of Multi-User
Operating System
 Multi-user operating systems are very useful in
offices and libraries because they can efficiently
handle printing jobs.
 If one computer fails in its own network system,
the entire system does not come to a halt.
 Airlines use multi-user operating systems for some
of their functions.
 The ticket reservation system uses a multi-user
operating system.
 Each user can access the same document on their
own computer.
Advantages of Multi-User
Operating System
 There are various disadvantages of a multi-user
operating system. Some of the disadvantages
are as follows:
 Virus attacks occur simultaneously on all of
them as the computers are shared. As a result,
if one machine is affected, the others will be as
well.
Disadvantages of Multi-
User Operating System
 If a virus hits one computer, it spreads to the
entire network system simultaneously, and
finally, all computer systems fail.
 All computer information is shared publicly,
and your personal information is accessible to
everyone on the network.
 Multiple accounts on a single computer may
not be suitable for all users. Thus, it is better to
have multiple PCs for each user.
Disadvantages of Multi-
User Operating System

This scheduler determines and executes the job that must perform based on the priority cycle. Time-Sliced Systems
  • 21.  Multiple processors are used in this system, which helps to improve overall performance. If one of the processors in this system fails, the other processor is responsible for completing its assigned task. Multiprocessor System
  • 22.  The single master system is contained within the multi-user system. All network users can access the master system anytime and from any place and open their local version of the system.  The local version is also known as a 'working model'. All users can update, delete, and create new files on their local working model, but this model will not be available to other users until it is saved to the master system. How to work the Multi- User operating system?
  • 23.  There are various characteristics of a multi-user operating system. Some of them are as follows:  Resource Sharing  Multi-Tasking  Background Processing  Time-Sharing  System  Invisibility Characteristics of Multi-User Operating System
  • 24.  Several devices, like printers, fax machines, plotters, and hard drives, can be shared in a multi-user operating system. Users can share their own documents using this functionality. All users are given a small slice of CPU time under this system. Resource Sharing
  • 25.  Multi-user operating systems may execute several tasks simultaneously, and several programs may also execute at the same time. Multi-Tasking
  • 26.  Background processing is a term that refers to when commands are not processed but rather executed "in the background". Usually, other programs interact with the system in real-time. Background Processing
  • 27.  A strategy used by multi-user operating systems to operate on several user requests at the same time by switching between jobs at very short periods of time. Time-Sharing
  • 28.  The operating system must handle a computer's combination of hardware and software resources. System
  • 29.  Various functions of the multi-user operating system are hidden from users. It is due to factors such as the OS being instinctive or happening at the lower end, such as disk formatting, etc. Invisibility
  • 30.  Unix  Multiple Virtual Storage  Shared Computing Examples of Multi-User Operating System
  • 31.  A highly dependable open system architecture for small and medium-scale business computing systems. Because it is based on Open System Architecture, tech giants including AIX, Solaris, and even Mac OS have their own version of Unix. For example, the Hospitality industry, Healthcare, etc. Unix
  • 32.  IBM develops an operating system for use on mainframe systems. It's commonly utilized in enterprise computing, where high-intensity I/O is required. For example, Banking, Insurance, Aviation business, etc. Multiple Virtual Storage
  • 33.  A multi-user OS is a software that operates the servers that support most webmail apps. A typical webmail application may require the utilization of hundreds of computers.  Each one runs a multi-user operating system capable of supporting various users at the same time.  Because these systems have millions, if not billions, of users who constantly log on to check their messages, they require operating systems that can handle a high number of users at once. Shared Computing
  • 34.  There are various advantages of a multi-user operating system. Some of the advantages are as follows:  A multi-user operating system can be used in the printing process to allow multiple users to access the same printer, which a normal operating system may not do.  On a single computer system, several users can access the same copy of a document. For instance, if a PPT file is kept on one computer, other users can see it on other systems. Advantages of Multi-User Operating System
  • 35.  Multi-user operating systems are very useful in offices and libraries because they can efficiently handle printing jobs.  If one computer fails in its own network system, the entire system does not come to a halt.  Airlines use multi-user operating systems for some of their functions.  The ticket reservation system uses a multi-user operating system.  Each user can access the same document on their own computer. Advantages of Multi-User Operating System
  • 36.  There are various disadvantages of a multi-user operating system. Some of the disadvantages are as follows:  Virus attacks occur simultaneously on all of them as the computers are shared. As a result, if one machine is affected, the others will be as well. Disadvantages of Multi- User Operating System
  • 37.  If a virus hits one computer, it spreads to the entire network system simultaneously, and finally, all computer systems fail.  All computer information is shared publicly, and your personal information is accessible to everyone on the network.  Multiple accounts on a single computer may not be suitable for all users. Thus, it is better to have multiple PCs for each user. Disadvantages of Multi- User Operating System
