  • Batch operating system
  • Multi-tasking/ Time sharing OS
  • Multiprocessor operating system
  • Distributed operating system
  • Real Time operating system
  • Mobile operating system
  • Network operating system

Batch Operating System

Some computer processes are time-consuming and very lengthy. To speed a similar process, a job with a similar short of requirement are batch together and run as a group.

The users of a batch operating system never directly associates with the computer. In this type of operating system, each user prepares his/ her job on an offline devices like a punch card and submits it to the computer administrator.

Multi-tasking/ Time Sharing Operating System

The multitasking operating system allows people located at a different terminal (shell) to use a single computer system at the same time. The processor time which is shorted among multiple users is named as time sharing.

Multiprocessing Operating System

When two or more CPU (Central Processing Unit) operate within a single computer, it is referred as a multiprocessor operating system. In such computers, these multiple central processing units's have a communication and close connection to share programs and data. It is also share operating system resources like memory, printers, buses, and peripheral devices.
It is also used when users need high processing speed to process a high volume of data. In the most of the cases, opening systems are used to carry out operations or scientific calculations such as deep data analysis, weather forecasting and detellite processing.

Distributed Operating System

Distributed operating systems use many processor located in different machines to provide very quick calculations to its users.

Real Time Operating System

A real time operating system time stretch to respond and process to inputs is very small. For examples - Space software systems, Military software system, etc.

Network Operating System

Network operating system runs on the server. Network operating system provides the capacity to server to manage security, data, application, users, groups and other networking functions.

Mobile Operating System

Mobile operating system are those operating system which is especially that are design to power tablets, smartphones and wearables devices.
The most popular mobile operating system are Android and iOS, Web, but others include BlackBerry and watchOS.

Floppy Disk Floppy disk is slower to access than hard disk. Floppy disk has low storage capacity, if the size of file increases than decreases the capacity of floppy disk. Hard Disk A Hard Disk is a storage medium. This drive is made up of a series of circular disk called platters arranged. A Hard Disk drive are made of non-magnetic material. A Hard Disk composed of numerous discs of metered sensitive to magnetic field. It has magnetic technology. Optical Disk An Optical Disk is input and output device. These devices use lesser technology to record data and information. It has a large storage capacity of the Gigabyte (GB). Magnetic Tape Magnetic Tape is a storage medium of secondary memory. They fit up to more than 4GB (Gigabyte). Pen Drive A Pen Drive is a portable memory devices. It is used to solid state memory rather t

Language Translator

The language translator is a program that converts programming languages into another programming language. Language translator is also called language processor. A program written in any high-level programming languages is known as the source code, to convert the source code into machine code is known as object code. There are three types of language translator. Assembler Compiler Interpreter Assembler An assembler is a program written in machine level language whose function to translate the assembly language code into machine language code. It is a low level programming language where we place of machine codes. Advantage Assembler is very fast translating assembly language to machine code as one by one relationship. Efficiency in execution just like machine level language. Disadvantage Assembly language is difficul

The period of the third generation was from 1965-1971. In this generation was used of IC (Integrated Circuits). IC reduced the price, size , use of electricity, etc. Third generation computers were used Keyboard, Mouse, and also used the operation system to improved a new level and high speed. Characteristics of the third generation computer Use of IC (Integrated Circuits) instead of transistors Use of magnetic storage device Use of mini-computers Use of monitor, keyboard, and line printers Use high-level programming languages Less expensive maintenance cost Less expensive than second generation Improved faster operations and more dependable Small size than second generation computer Some computers of third generation IBM 360 series IBM 370 IBM 168 TDC 316 Honeywell 6000 series PDP (Personal Data Processor)
