	Computer multitasking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Multiprogramming systems are designed to maximize CPU usage.
		Multiprogramming doesn't give any guarantee that a program will run in a timely manner.
		As there were no users waiting at an interactive terminal, this was no problem: users handed a deck of punched cards to an operator, and came back a few hours later for printed results.

	Features and advantages of multiprogramming. - Free Computer Science Tutorials - Provided by Laynetworks.com
		Multiprogramming is the rapid switching of the CPU between multiple processes in memory.
		Multiprogramming makes efficient use of the CPU by overlapping the demands for the CPU and its I/O devices from various users.
		The prime reason for multiprogramming is to give the CPU something to do while waiting for I/O to complete.

	Patent 4189771: Method and means for the detection of deadlock among waiting tasks in a multiprocessing, ...
		The wait relations among N tasks in a multiprocessing, multiprogramming CPU environment are conformed to a vector of N+1 fields recording which tasks in a system are active and upon what other task any given task directly waits.
		"Multiprogramming", which pertains to the concurrent execution of two or more programs by a computing system can be managed on a computer running under IBM System/360 Operating System as described in IBM Publication GC28-6646, July 1973 and listed in IBM System/360 Bibliography GA22-6822.
		However, to permit multiprogramming operation, a more practical restriction would be to require each task to name its resources only at its creation.

	The Common Man's Guide to Operating System Design: Processes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Multiprogramming is one way (and by far the most popular way) to implement multitasking in an operating system.
		Also, when the only purpose of multiprogramming is to gain extra system performance, cooperative multitasking will typically do a better job of this than preemptive multitasking, at a considerable cost in system responsiveness and reliability.
		When multiprogramming is involved with a system in any way, a processor needs a way to determine the next process to run next.

		Multiprogramming operating system is operating system which, in addition to supporting multiple concurrent process (several processes in execution states simultaneously) allows the instruction and data from two or more separate processes to reside in primary memory simultaneously.
		Multiprogramming implies multiprocessing or multitasking operation, but multiprocessing operation (or multitasking) does not imply multiprogramming.
		It is frequently associated with multiprogramming, but multi-user operating system does not imply multiprogramming or multitasking.

	jGuru: What is the difference between multithreading and multitasking? What about multiprogramming? Multiprocessing?
		Multiprogramming is essentially a synonym for multitasking (though multitasking connotes sharing more resources than just the CPU, and is the more popular term).
		Multiprogramming is a method of running several different programs in a computer apparently at the same time.
		The difference is that multiprogramming is a term that was used before the introduction of virtual memory.

	Operating Systems
		The primary factor affecting the degree of multiprogramming is the amount of memory available to be allocated to executing processes.
		In contrast to a multiprogramming system, a batch system executes its jobs sequentially, and might be referred to as a "monoprogramming" system (though certain batch systems have monitor programs, which might classify them loosely as multiprogramming systems).
		Multiprogramming freed the CPU from relying on the inherent slowness of the operator, and permitted it to work while waiting on peripheral devices.

	ACM Computing Surveys : A Discipline of Multiprogramming
		The earliest multiprograms (see, for instance, the solution to the mutual exclusion problem in [Dijkstra 1965]) were trivially small and impossibly difficult to understand, because the behaviors of the individual processes could not be understood in isolation, and all possible interactions among the processes had to be analyzed explicitly.
		Yet, typical multiprograms employing message passing over bounded or unbounded channels can be encoded in Seuss by declaring the processes and channels as the components of a program; similarly, shared memory multiprograms can be encoded by having processes and memories as components.
		We view multiprogramming as a way to orchestrate the executions of these sequential programs, by specifying the conditions under which each program is to be executed.

	Multiprogramming Effects (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Multiprogramming can cause parallel applications to behave unpredictably, changing the synchronization behavior in ways that are hard to understand.
		Although a cyclic implementation performs better in the absence of multiprogramming, it often performs worse in the presence of multiprogramming.
		On a multiprogrammed machine, the additional communication and synchronization create more opportunities for multiprogramming to context switch a process that must synchronize with another, which increases waiting time on another processor.

	CITIDEL: Viewing 'On the applicability of using multiprogramming level distributions' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In a product-form queuing network model of the system, the workload is modeled by assuming that the multiprogramming level is either fixed (i.e., closed model) or that the multiprogramming level depends upon an outside arrival process (i.e., open model).
		However, in many actual systems, closed and open models are both inappropriate since the multiprogramming level is neither fixed nor governed by an outside arrival process. In an actual system., the multiprogramming level varies due to features such as task spawning, killing, blocking, parallel processing, and/or simultaneous resource possession.
		The multiprogramming level is a random variable with an associated distribution.

	CS322: Memory Management
		Some of the earliest multiprogramming systems maintained only one process in main memory at a time (along with the monitor, of course.) When a process switch occurred, it was necessary to swap processes wholesale between main memory and backing storage such as drum, disk, or extended core storage.
		Early multiprogramming systems (and some in use today) emulated this model by giving each process a contiguous region of memory, bounded on either side by the monitor, another process, and/or physical end of memory.
		An example is IBM MFT (Multiprogramming with a Fixed number of Tasks) which was part of OS/360.

		The cost is only that of changing the processor state, which involves only a few instructions at most (and only one instruction on some systems, such as the CDC 6600).
		Since programs are subject to numerous unpredictable delays within a single run for inter change with the external environment (either via Ms or T), substantial increases in Pc utilization can be achieved by multiprogramming.
		The idea of multiprogramming is so fundamental that it should be among the first concepts to be understood by the student of computing systems.
