A processing in which one task is completed at a time and all the tasks are run by the processor in a sequence. In real time example, people standing in a queue and waiting for a railway ticket. In this case, one person can get a ticket at a time. Suppose there are two queues of people and one cashier is handling both the queues then one person can get a ticket at a time from both queues. Similarly, processor get lists of tasks and each task is completed at a time and all other tasks wait till the first one completes. This type of processing is also known as sequential processing.
✔Example of serial processing operating system
Any operating system running on the single processor is an example of the serial operating system. Note that one processor complete one task at a given time and other tasks wait in a queue. In an operating system, there may be running multiple programs and each program has multiple tasks running. In this case, all tasks of the different programs are sent to the processor through registers and processed sequentially. Pentium 3 and Pentium 4 are serial processing computers. Windows 95 and Windows 98 are examples of operating systems which do the serial processing.
➡️What is parallel processing
A type of processing in which multiple tasks are completed at a time by different processors. Note that in parallel processing there is more than one processor involved. In real time example, there are multiple queues of people standing to get railway tickets. In this case, each queue is handled by multiple people, so multiple people will get tickets at a time. Similarly, in the operating system, there are multiple queues of tasks and multiple tasks are completed by different processors at a time.
Example of parallel processing operating system
An operating system running on the multicore processor is an example of the parallel operating system. Windows 7, 8, 10 are examples of operating systems which do parallel processing. In today life all latest operating systems support parallel processing.
