 Multiprogramming
Multiprogramming is the use of more than one thread within a single process on a computer system.

 Computer multitasking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Each user wanted to see his program running as if it was the only program in the computer.
Several different programs were loaded in the computer memory, and the first one began to run.
In time-sharing systems, the running task is required to relinquish the CPU, either voluntarily or by an external event such as a hardware interrupt.

 Operating Systems
Efficient use of computer time was the impetus for the development of multiprogramming systems.
Batch systems were developed prior to multiprogramming as a means of increasing efficiency of computer time use.
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).

 Prof. Mukesh N. Tekwani's Notes Online - Operating Systems
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.
In a multiprogramming system, more than one program resides in the computer's main memory.
Therefore, multitasking operation is one of the mechanism that multiprogramming operating system employs in managing the totality of computer related resources like CPU, memory and I/O devices.

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).

 The Common Man's Guide to Operating System Design: Processes
Multiprogramming is one way (and by far the most popular way) to implement multitasking in an operating system.
As a top-level multiprogramming strategy for a general purpose operating systems on modern hardware, though, cooperative multitasking is essentially useless.
When multiprogramming is involved with a system in any way, a processor needs a way to determine the next process to run next.

 jGuru: What is the difference between multithreading and multitasking? What about multiprogramming? Multiprocessing?
Multiprogramming is a method of running several different programs in a computer apparently at the same time.
Multiprogramming is essentially a synonym for multitasking (though multitasking connotes sharing more resources than just the CPU, and is the more popular term).
Usually on a mainframe - the computer has a number of programs loaded into memory and the operating system switches quickly between them, processing a little bit of each one in turn.

 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.

 Multiprogramming
The answers to several questions are important to implementing an efficient virtual memory system in a multiprogrammed environment.
In order to use the multiprogramming concept, processes must be loaded into independent sections or partitions of memory.
Advancements in operating systems led to computers that load several independent processes into memory and switch the CPU from one job to another when the first becomes blocked while waiting for servicing by another device.

 ACM Computing Surveys : A Discipline of Multiprogramming
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.
Typically, several sequential programs will execute simultaneously; yet, we can guarantee that their executions are non-interfering, and hence, each program may be regarded as atomic.

 Features and advantages of multiprogramming. - Free Computer Science Tutorials - Provided by Laynetworks.com
The prime reason for multiprogramming is to give the CPU something to do while waiting for I/O to complete.
If there is no DMA, the CPU is fully occupied doing I/O, so there is nothing to be gained (at least in terms of CPU utilization) by multiprogramming.
No matter how much I/O a program does, the CPU will be 100% busy.

 CITIDEL: Viewing 'On the applicability of using multiprogramming level distributions'
The multiprogramming level is a random variable with an associated distribution.
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.

A computer system's workload is represented by its multiprogramming level, which is defined as the number of tasks (jobs, customers) which actively compete for resources within the system.

 On a Method of Multiprogramming
This book proposes a method of multiprograms with a minimum of formal development of multiprograms regardless of whether the algorithms used are distributed or not.
Despite the interest in parallelism and parallel processing, there is a fundamental question that has remained largely unexplored, namely the question of how to design multiprograms (parallel programs) from their specification.

 Nagel: Performance Evaluation of Multitasking in a Multiprogramming Environment
First results obtained from these investigations seem to prove the efficiency especially for the fine-grain multitasking concepts which provide good performance in dedicated as well as batch oriented multiprogramming environments; for selected production codes on the CRAY Y-MP these concepts now are used to evaluate their effects on a loaded system.
The overall system performance is of interest when multitasking concepts are used in a multiprogramming environment.
To get reliable results, a programming system is developed, generating synthetic user programs on a CRAY multiprocessor which simulate a given work load in a flexible way by using the hardware performance monitor (HPM).

 Multiprogramming in the text mode
And still even if you could hook only one interactive program to a terminal, it would be a shame to let the processor you paid so dearly run billions of cycles idle each second, therefore you'd optimize your investment connecting a lot of terminals to the computer and use time-sharing multiprogramming amongst all the users.
Even if I'm in a GUI and I have a dozen programs open, if they're all editor programs chances are only one of them is doing any real work at any given time.
Even if you could hook only one interactive program to the terminal, you would still want to run several batch programs in background in multiprogramming.

 Multiprogramming Effects
Although a cyclic implementation performs better in the absence of multiprogramming, it often performs worse in the presence of multiprogramming.
For example, several experiments indicated that the execution time of Cholesky factorization with a cyclic data distribution is more sensitive to multiprogramming than an implementation using a blocked data distribution.
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.

This capability means that we are “multiprogramming,” that is, running more than one program simultaneously, although we only have one
This leads to the next topic which is how this works and how a program can assume a memory size far larger than the actual memory size by using something called "virtual memory."
As hardware technology improved and there were ever-increasing gaps between the speed of the processors and the slower input/output devices, the operating system started to take on functions designed to maximize the use of the processor.

The main reason for beginning to process a request before previous requests finish is to exploit hardware systems that are capable of multiprogramming.
We consider here successively more drastic fixes to this problem.
The preferred form of multiprogramming in Keykos, for the case at hand, is to set multiple domains to work at once, obeying the service code and perhaps sharing some amount of read-write RAM if that suits its needs.

 Multi-programming support
Since tasks can be set to run any word at any time, you only need to define as many as you will be running at once (excluding the terminal task, of course).
For example, define a task called A: Executing A returns a unique task ID, which is an argument or result for most of the remaining multiprogramming words.
This divides the screen into 4 windows, with tasks named A and B running in two text windows and a task C running in the graphics window.

In this book, a programming model is developed that addresses the fundamental issues of "large-scale programming," unifying several concepts from database theory, object-oriented programming and designs of reactive systems.
The model and the associated theory have been christened "Seuss." The major goal of Seuss is to simplify multiprogramming.
To this end, we separate the concern of concurrent implementation from the core program design problem.

 Chapter 7. Multiprogramming
This has usually been called ‘multiprocessing’ in the Unix world, but in this book we revive the older term ‘multiprogramming’; to avoid confusion with multiprocessor hardware implementations.
Multiprogramming is a particularly murky area of design, one in which there are few guidelines to good practice.
Many programmers with excellent judgment about how to break up code into subroutines nevertheless wind up writing whole applications as monster single-process monoliths that founder on their own internal complexity.
