What is an embedded industrial computer multitasking operating system?
Taking Windows as an example, a multitasking operating system means that multiple applications can be run at the same time. Linux, solar, mac, etc. are all multi-tasking operating systems (System), which can run multiple programs at the same time, such as: EQQ, watching web pages, listening to music (music)
In a multitasking environment, a running program can acquire processor time only when other programs approve it. Each application must cooperatively relinquish control of the processor so that other applications can run. Both Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 are a form of preemptive multitasking in a cooperative multitasking environment. When necessary, the operating system can interrupt the currently running task in order to run another task.
What is an embedded industrial computer operating system?
Multi-OS refers to the installation of multiple IPC operating systems on the embedded IPC, and each system is independent of each other. Users can install other versions of the system on the basis of the original system.
Multiple operating systems are widely used in daily life, and it is convenient for users to install two or more operating systems in the industrial computer. When the embedded industrial computer is turned on, the operating system to be used can be selected, and the systems are independent of each other.
The advantage of IPC dual operating system installation or multi-system is that two systems can be used on one IPC embedded IPC to try new things. In addition, - but if there is a problem in one system, the user can enter another system, and there will be no embarrassing situation of being unable to boot into the embedded industrial computer because of the system crash. Expanding the scope of use of the industrial computer, the two systems are independent and can be operated separately to ensure safety. Such as one for entertainment, one for work, etc. Or one runs a program that cannot run on another system.
Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and there are also disadvantages of dual or multi-system industrial computers. With a certain space on the hard disk, the dual systems must be installed on different hard disks, which will naturally take up a certain amount of hard disk space. The maintenance of dual systems is also relatively difficult, and switching between different systems requires shutdown and restart.
