System Software
Programs that control operation of computer
Two types are Systems Software Utility Programs

Operating SystemsThe functions of an operating system are;
start up the computer
provide user interface
manage programs
manage memory
schedule jobs andconfigure devices
monitor performanceand provide housekeepingservices
control a networkadminister security
access the Web

Operating SystemsOperating systems are located either on the hard drive of most PC and laptopsor on ROM chips in most hand held devices

Operating Systems FunctionsStarting or restarting a computer is called Booting There are two ways of booting a computer
cold bootProcess of turning on a computer after it has been powered off completely
warm bootProcess of restarting a
computer that is already powered on

Operating Systems Functionsmenu-driven interface

Operating Systems Functionsgraphical user interface (GUI)
![Page 11: Chapter 8 Operating Systems. Objectives Identify the types of system software Summarize the startup process on a personal computer Describe the functions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697c0291a28abf838cd7a6d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Operating Systems FunctionsMost GUI’s allow for multitasking This allows a single user to work on two or more applications that reside in memory at same time
Foreground contains active application - the one you currently are using
Background contains inactive programs that are running but are not in use
![Page 12: Chapter 8 Operating Systems. Objectives Identify the types of system software Summarize the startup process on a personal computer Describe the functions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697c0291a28abf838cd7a6d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Operating Systems FunctionsVirtual memory (VM)
Virtual memory (VM) management allocates portion of hard disk to function like RAM
This occurs when the amount of information that needs to be accessed by the CPU exceeds the amount of memory the PC contains.

Operating Systems FunctionsSpooling
Spooling is used to control the process of printing.
Print jobs are sent to a buffer instead of directly to printer, where print jobs wait their turn
print job
print spooler application
print queue

Operating Systems FunctionsDevice Driver
Each device requires its own specific driver
device driver
Are found in the OS or in the disk that comes with the device
A Small program that tells operating system how to communicate with a device

Types of Operating SystemsThree categories of operating systems
Stand-alone
EmbeddedNetwork

Stand-Alone Operating SystemsMac OS X
Available only for computers manufactured by Apple
Macintosh operating system has been model for most GUIs

Stand-Alone Operating SystemsUNIX
Used by power users because of its flexibility and power
Most versions offer GUI
Both a stand-alone and a network operating system
