What is the main objective of multiprogramming? |
|
Answer» It refers to the ability to execute or perform more than one PROGRAM on a single processor machine. This TECHNIQUE was introduced to overcome the problem of UNDERUTILIZATION of CPU and main memory. In simple words, it is the coordination of EXECUTION of various programs simultaneously on a single processor (CPU). The main objective of multiprogramming is to have at least some processes running at all times. It SIMPLY improves the utilization of the CPU as it organizes many jobs where the CPU always has one to execute. |
