Question

Do you think an operating system can work fine without process management functionality? Motivate your answer using process management activities.

[ NOTE: Keep your discussion brief and built your argument explicitly. Just listing the process management activities is NOT enough and will ONLY get 0.25 marks. ]

Answer 1

The operating system cannot work without process management functionality because process

management is the spine of the operating system, if the operating system was to operate without

the process management then its entire working would be endangered. Without process

management performing two or three methods at the same time on the operating rule. it will

require continuous time as there will be no supervision as to which method will perform first or

which method has to wait and which process has to perform. The operating system practices rule

management functionality to accomplish the coming jobs.

Operating system synchronizes with the processes. It performs multitasking that is many

processes are executing together or concurrently by allotting and de-allocating the processor at

the relevant time. It supports the processes and keeps the individual support of the processes

separate from each other. Although it covers the support of one method from the different

process it too supports the distribution of support amongst the methods as and when needed.

The operating system can implement the following services including a process:

It can build a rule

It can perform a rule

It can eliminate a rule

it can obstruct a rule

It can transfer a method to waiting for event

It can interrupt a rule

Keeping to look the above tasks accomplished by operating system using the rule management

functionality, it is difficult for the operating system to operate without the process
