18
ER/CORP/CRS/OS01/003 Version No: 1.0
Multiprogramming • • •
More than one program executing at the same time. Key : I/O waits take a long time compared to CPU operations. Only a simulation again.

JCL describes a batch job - programs, data and resources required. Job scheduler : submits jobs for execution based on scheduling algorithm.
Copyright © 2005, Infosys Technologies Ltd
21
ER/CORP/CRS/OS01/003 Version No: 1.0
Time sharing • • • •
Time sharing makes on-line, interactive processing possible. Each user has access to the system and a gets a time slice repeatedly. TSO used to login, create, maintain and store JCLs. Processing is generally as a batch job in background.

Paging … • • • •
Pages are 4K sections on virtual store ( DASD ). Page frames are 4K sections in real store ( main memory ). Page table maps pages to page frames. Page fault when program refers to data in a storage location not in real store.
Copyright © 2005, Infosys Technologies Ltd
43
ER/CORP/CRS/OS01/003 Version No: 1.0
Paging • • •
Page-in when MVS loads a new page into a page frame Page-out when data in a page-frame is written back to DASD. OS code responsible for paging cannot be paged out.
Copyright © 2005, Infosys Technologies Ltd
44
ER/CORP/CRS/OS01/003 Version No: 1.0
Expanded Storage: • •
Acts as large buffer between real storage and page data sets ( virtual store ). Improves efficiency of virtual storage operations.
Copyright © 2005, Infosys Technologies Ltd
45
ER/CORP/CRS/OS01/003 Version No: 1.0
Swapping … • •
Transfer of entire address spaces in and out of virtual store. Swapping is like paging, only at a higher level and across address spaces.

54
ER/CORP/CRS/OS01/003 Version No: 1.0
Difference between Address space and Data space
Address space Contains instruction and data.
Data space Can contain only data. Even if program is loaded in data space, it is considered as data
Common areas and nucleus is mapped on Address space.
None of common areas and nucleus is mapped on data space.
An application can have only one address space.
An application can have access upto 7999 data space, each the size of 2GB.
