Batch processing. Computerized batch processing is a method of running software programs called jobs in batches automatically. While users are required to submit the jobs, no other interaction by the user is required to process the batch. Batches may automatically be run at scheduled times as well as being run contingent on the availability of ...
Spooling. In computing, spooling is a specialized form of multi-programming for the purpose of copying data between different devices. In contemporary systems, [a] it is usually used for mediating between a computer application and a slow peripheral, such as a printer. Spooling allows programs to "hand off" work to be done by the peripheral and ...
SCADA. v. t. e. Batch production is a method of manufacturing where the products are made as specified groups or amounts, within a time frame. A batch can go through a series of steps in a large manufacturing process to make the final desired product. [1] [2] Batch production is used for many types of manufacturing that may need smaller amounts ...
Job scheduler. A job scheduler is a computer application for controlling unattended background program execution of jobs. [1] This is commonly called batch scheduling, as execution of non-interactive jobs is often called batch processing, though traditional job and batch are distinguished and contrasted; see that page for details.
Batch. Early computer resident monitors and operating systems were relatively primitive and were not capable of sophisticated resource allocation. Typically such allocation decisions were made by the computer operator or the user who submitted a job. Batch processing was common, and interactive computer systems rare and expensive. Job control ...
Monolithic kernel. A monolithic kernel is an operating system architecture with the entire operating system running in kernel space. The monolithic model differs from other architectures such as the microkernel [1] [2] in that it alone defines a high-level virtual interface over computer hardware. A set of primitives or system calls implement ...
An Embedded Operating System (EOS) is an operating system designed specifically for embedded computer systems. These systems aim to enhance functionality and reliability to perform dedicated tasks. [1] When the multitasking method employed allows for timely task execution, such an OS may qualify as a real-time operating system (RTOS).
Execution of process creation system call by a running process. A user request to create a new process. Initiation of a batch job. When an operating system is booted, typically several processes are created. Some of these are foreground processes, that interact with a (human) user and perform work for them.
