Types of OS(1.2.1 e)

can do many things at once most modern OS’s are multi tasking especially consumer ones

lots of power CPU heating up more RAM and cores needed

multiple users want to use same physical hardware at the same time need to juggle requirements of all the people using the machine at any given time often used on servers where many people can be using the same hardware at the dame time(thin clients)

enable multiple computers to be combined to complete a single task many computers combined into a single entity vital for servers

an embedded computer has a fixed purpose and typically interact ith a physical machine

due to cost/power constraints and often stored on ROM

efficiency and reliability

used in critical systems processes must be executed in a set time frame if a process isn’t executed on time the wider system will fail

deterministic

to guarantee tasks will e executed on time

a single given system could have an OS that fits many of these classifications
