MODES OF COMPUTER SYSTEM OPERATION

Operating systems enable the system they manage to operate in various modes. These include batch processing, time sharing, and real-time processing.
Batch processing Processing programs or transactions in batches, without a user's interaction.
Time Sharing Systems providing interactive processing by allocating a short time slice for the use of the server to each user in turn.
Real-time Processing Systems that respond to an event within a fixed time interval; used for example, in manufacturing plants or to collect data from several pieces of equipment in a laboratory.

With the move toward multiprocessors, in which several (or even many) processors are configured in a single computer system, multiprocessing operating systems have been designed to allocate the work to the multiple processors. These systems also support multiprogramming, which allows many programs to compete for the processors
