OS Types Q & A #2
Question: What are the differences between Real Time System and Timesharing System?
Answer: Following are the differences between Real Time system and Timesharing System.
| Sr. No. | Real Time System | Timesharing System |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | In this system, events mostly external to computer system are accepted and processed within certain deadlines. | In this system, many users are allowed to simultaneously share the computer resources. |
| 2 | Real time processing is mainly devoted to one application. | Time sharing processing deals with many different applications. |
| 3 | User can make inquiry only and cannot write or modify programs. | Users can write and modify programs. |
| 4 | User must get a response within the specified time limit; otherwise it may result in a disaster. | User should get a response within fractions of seconds but if not, the results are not disastrous. |
| 5 | No context switching takes place in this system. | The CPU switches from one process to another as a time slice expires or a process terminates. |
