    The document provides a history of operating systems from their earliest forms to modern times. It describes serial processing systems of the 1940s-1950s that required direct user interaction. Batch processing systems of the mid-1960s-late 1970s ran groups of similar jobs sequentially to improve efficiency. Multi-programming systems of the 1960s onward allowed multiple programs to run simultaneously, resembling modern operating systems. Time-sharing systems from the 1970s to present provide an illusion of sole use while rapidly switching between users for true concurrent use.

    HISTORY OF OPERATING SYSTEM

    The Operating System is the most important to our computers. This is managing our computer’s
    memory and processes. If don’t have operating system to your computer it will be useless. This
    is the history of Operating System.

    Serial Processing – Is a computer from late 1940 to mid-1950. Which where the programmer is
    directly interacting to the computer. It also called as “bare machine” because, they don’t have
    an OS. It Uses punch cards, paper tapes and language translator. This system have a
    disadvantage because it took some time to set up. If the users encounter problems they had to
    set up again that can cause wasting of time.

    Batch System (mid 1960s - late 1970s) – The computers before was very expensive, therefore it
    was important to maximize processor utilization. In Serial Processing there are so many wasted
    time, and because of that the Batch System was developed to improve the utilization. Batch is
    defined as a group of jobs with similar needs. This Operating System allowing the users to form
    a batch. Computers executes each batch sequentially. It is called batch processing because the
    computer processing all jobs in single process.

    Multi-programmed Systems -- This is developing during 1960 up until now. Multi-programming


    helps to increase CPU utilization by organizing jobs. It can be run multiple program at the same
    time because, of the high memory of a machine specifically computers. The monitor is growing
    to the point where it begins to resemble a modern operating system. It is responsible for
    starting user jobs, spooling operations, IO for user jobs, switching between user jobs, and
    ensuring protection while doing all jobs.

    Time Sharing Systems (1970s - present) – This is the extension Multi-Programmed System but
    this system is more complex because, In this system there are many user interacting to the
    system in same time and, the switching of CPU between two users is so fast that it gives the
    impression to user that he is only working on the system but actually it is shared among
    different users. It also must to provide mechanism for jobs synchronization and
    communication.
