Types of OS
Distributed OS - A single task is split up into a number of smaller tasks. Each of these is run on a separate computer. The results are then gathered together.
Multi-user system - Multi-user software is software that allows access by multiple users of a computer.
Real-time OS - Used in aircraft or other safety critical machines, respond very quickly to Inputs/sensors and can deal with multiple inputs at once. Can quickly switch to backup systems if something goes wrong.
Multitasking system - an OS that allows users to perform multiple tasks at the same time.
Embedded system - An embedded operating system is a specialised OS for use in the computers built into larger systems. Examples include washing machines and dishwashers.
