Operating System
Operating System
The systems of the 1960's were also batch processing systems, but
they were able to take better advantage of the computer's resources by
running several jobs at once. So operating systems designers developed
the concept of multiprogramming in which several jobs are in main
memory at once; a processor is switched from job to job as needed to
keep several jobs advancing while keeping the peripheral devices in use.
Operating systems like CTSS (Compatible Time-Sharing System) and
MULTICS (Multiplexed Information and Computing Service) allowed
multiple users to interact with a computer simultaneously. Operating

1980s: Rise of Personal Computers:
• RTOSes are designed for systems that require rapid and predictable
responses to external events.
• They are used in embedded systems, industrial control systems,
and other time-sensitive applications.
• They are often optimized for low resource consumption and real-time
requirements.
