Difference between Multi-programming and Multitasking

Difference between Multiprogramming and Multitasking

Multiprogramming	Multitasking
In Multiprogramming, at the same time, we can run the multiple processes concurrently on one processor.	In Multitasking, at the same time, we can execute multiple tasks by the use of multiple CPUs.
Multiprogramming is implemented by using the concept of context switching	Multitasking is implemented by using the concept of time-sharing.
In Multiprogramming, to execute the processes, only one CPU is used.	In Multitasking, to allot a task we need Multiple CPU’s.
Multiprogramming requires more time to execute processes.	Multitasking requires less time to execute processes.
The reason to use multiprogramming is we can reduce the CPU ideal time.	The reason to use multitasking is we can easily run multiple processes concurrently through time-sharing.
Multiprocessing is more expensive.	Multitasking is less expensive.

Difference between Time-Sharing and Real-Time Operating System

Time-Sharing Operating System	Real-Time Operating System
In a time-sharing operating system, for a request, a fast response is emphasized.	In a real-time operating system, the task of computation is emphasized before its nominative point.
Time-sharing operating systems provide the switching method/function.	The real-time operating system does not give the switching method/function.
In a time-sharing operating system, there is a possibility of changes in the program.	In a Real-time operating system, there is no possibility of changes in the program.
In time-sharing, resources are shared externally.	In a Real-time operating system, resources are not shared externally.
The time-sharing system can deal with more processes and applications concurrently.	The real-time operating system can only deal with one process and application at a time.
In this operating system, it is must that the user response is given within a second.	In this operating system, the response is given to the user within the time constraint.

 Difference between Multicore System and Multiprocessor System

Multicore System	Multiprocessor System
In Multicore, a single program executes faster.	In Multiprocessor, multiple programs can execute faster.
Multicore is not reliable.	Multiprocessor is reliable because if one CPU fails, then other CPU will not be affected.
In Multicore, traffic is less.	In Multiprocessor, traffic is more.
In this type of system, there is only one CPU, and the multiple cores are resides in that CPU.	In this type of system, there are multiple CPUs.
