Virtual storage
• Technique that lets a processor simulate a large amount of main storage from a smaller installed real storage.
• Uses disk storage as an extension of real storage.
• At any given moment only one program and its data need be in real storage.
Copyright © 2005, Infosys Technologies Ltd
19 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.

Spooling
• Intercepts and redirects printer output to a disk file.
• Each programs’ output stored separately.
• Facilitates effective sharing of I/O devices and better system throughput.

Batch processing• Batch processing is -
– Non interactive– Off line
• 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
22 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.

Difference between Address space and Data space
Address space Data space
Contains instruction and data. Can contain only data. Even if program is loaded in data space, it is considered as data
Common areas and nucleus is mapped None of common areas and nucleus is on Address space. mapped on data space. An application can have only one An application can have access upto 7999address space. data space, each the size of 2GB.

MVS/ESA - Hiperspace
• Similar to dataspaces
• Contents of hiperspaces managed by MVS/ESA and made available to user programs in 4KB units
• Hiperspaces reside only in expanded storage and are never in real store
• Facilitates hiperbatch to improve performance of certain types of batches
– hiperbatch transparent to JCL that invokes them
