Batch Operating System
A Batch Operating System is a type of operating system that processes jobs in groups or batches without user interaction. Users submit their jobs, which are collected and executed sequentially. This system is efficient for tasks that require similar resources and can be processed without immediate feedback.
In a batch system, jobs are typically queued and executed based on priority or arrival time. This approach minimizes idle time for the CPU, as it can work continuously on the next job in the queue. However, it lacks real-time processing capabilities, making it less suitable for interactive tasks.
