OS Types Q & A #1
Question: What are the differences between Batch processing system and Real Time Processing System?
Answer: Following are the differences between Batch processing system and Real Time Processing System.
| Sr. No. | Batch Processing System | Realtime Processing System |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jobs with similar requirements are batched together and run through the computer as a group. | In this system, events mostly external to computer system are accepted and processed within certain deadlines. |
| 2 | This system is particularly suited for applications such as Payroll, Forecasting, Statistical analysis etc. | This processing system is particularly suited for applications such as scientific experiments, Flight control, few military applications, Industrial control etc. |
| 3 | It provides most economical and simplest processing method for business applications. | Complex and costly processing requires unique hardware and software to handle complex operating system programs. |
| 4 | In this system data is collected for defined period of time and is processed in batches. | Supports random data input at random time. |
| 5 | In this system sorting is performed before processing. | No sorting is required. |
| 6 | It is measurement oriented. | It is action or event oriented. |
| 7 | Transactions are batch processed and periodically. | Transactions are processed as and when they occur. |
| 8 | In this processing there is no time limit. | It has to handle a process within the specified time limit otherwise the system fails. |
