Justify your stance on why a batch OS can't handle today's demanding software like online booking and cash machines. The performance of a time-shared system is very sensitive to the value selected for a time slice. What would happen if a very large number was selected for the time slice? Let's say it turned out to be too little.

The challenge of multitasking on a single system is challenging. Why not use a real-world scenario and a real-time machine to illustrate the issue?
Yet, most computer systems may be able to use a simplified version of the OSI model with fewer layers. There's no reason not to strip down a little. Does going with fewer layers than usual have any drawbacks?
How can we stop a CPU from squandering time by forcing it to multitask too much? What happens to our ability to put this plan into action if we can't get our hands on those funds? Give an example of the kind of results you may anticipate.
The OSI model is too complex for today's computers to completely implement. Care is reduced for simpler layers. What could go wrong with fewer layers?
In your opinion, the most significant modification is moving away from serial processing and towards batch processing. Consider why you believe this is a good idea and how you may persuade others that your reasoning is sound.
How can we stop a computer's central processing unit from squandering time by trying to run too many programmes at once? If certain resources are unavailable, what effects does it have on the feasibility of implementing this strategy? Give a possible result that may arise from these and explain why it would be beneficial.
Even though the OSI model is useful, most computers don't have all the parts they need to fully implement it. We might use fewer layers that are simpler and easy to keep up. Can you think of anything that might go wrong if we used less layers?
You feel that transitioning from a serial to a batch processing system is the most crucial step to take. Consider the reasons why you believe this is a good idea, and then explain them logically to the audience.
Explain why a batch operating system would not be able to handle modern applications like airline reservations and ATMs.System performance is very sensitive to the value that is chosen for a time slice in a system that shares time. Explain what would happen if the value you chose for the time slice was too big. Suppose it was too small.
To you, switching from a serial to a batch processing paradigm is the most pressing need. Consider the merits of your opinion and provide a sound justification for it.
The advantages of using a compiled language rather to an interpreter are many.An interpreter's assistance would be useful in the following scenario.
