Introduction

• A computer system consists of– hardware– system programs– application programs

Page 3: Introduction

3

Computer System layers

• Physical Devices: Power, wires, CRT, …

• Microarchitecture: Registers, ALU, CPU

• ISA: instruction set 30 – 50 instructions

• OS– Hides hardware complexity– Manages resources

• System Programs

Page 4: Introduction

Supervisor vs user mode

• System programs are not the OS although they are often supplied with the OS

• Windows (X, Max, MS), Compilers, …– If you don’t like one, write your own

• Clock interrupt handler– you cannot write your own

• The boundary is blurred

Page 5: Introduction

What is an Operating System

• It is an extended machine– Hides the messy details which must be performed

• 13 parameters to read from floppy controller

• 3 parameters to read system call

– Presents user with a virtual machine, easier to use

• It is a resource manager– Each program gets time with the resource

– Each program gets space on the resource

History of Operating Systems (1)

Early batch system– bring cards to 1401– read cards to tape– put tape on 7094 which does computing– put tape on 1401 which prints output

Page 7: Introduction

History of Operating Systems (2)

• First generation 1945 - 1955– vacuum tubes, plug boards

• Second generation 1955 - 1965– transistors, batch systems

• Third generation 1965 – 1980– ICs and multiprogramming

• Fourth generation 1980 – present– personal computers

Page 8: Introduction

History of Operating Systems (3)

• Structure of a typical FMS job – 2nd generation

Page 9: Introduction

History of Operating Systems (4)

• Multiprogramming system – three jobs in memory – 3rd generation

Page 10: Introduction

The Operating System Zoo

• Mainframe operating systems

• Server operating systems

• Multiprocessor operating systems

• Personal computer operating systems

• Real-time operating systems

• Embedded operating systems

• Smart card operating systems

Computer Hardware Review (1)

• Components of a simple personal computer

Monitor

Bus

Computer Hardware Review (2)

(a) A three-stage pipeline(b) A superscalar CPU

Page 13: Introduction

13

Computer Hardware Review (3)

• Typical memory hierarchy– numbers shown are rough approximations

Page 14: Introduction

Computer Hardware Review (4)

Structure of a disk drive

Page 15: Introduction

15

Computer Hardware Review (5)

One base-limit pair and two base-limit pairs

Page 16: Introduction

Computer Hardware Review (6)

(a) Steps in starting an I/O device and getting interrupt(b) How the CPU is interrupted

Computer Hardware Review (7)

Structure of a large Pentium system

Page 18: Introduction

Operating System Concepts (1)

• A process tree– A created two child processes, B and C– B created three child processes, D, E, and F

Page 19: Introduction

19

Operating System Concepts (2)

(a) A potential deadlock. (b) an actual deadlock.

Page 20: Introduction

Operating System Concepts (3)

File system for a university department

Page 21: Introduction

21

Operating System Concepts (4)

• Before mounting, – files on floppy are inaccessible

• After mounting floppy on b,– files on floppy are part of file hierarchy

Page 22: Introduction

Operating System Concepts (5)

Two processes connected by a pipe

Page 23: Introduction

Steps in Making a System Call

There are 11 steps in making the system call read (fd, buffer, nbytes)

Some System Calls For Miscellaneous Tasks

Page 28: Introduction

System Calls (1)

• A stripped down shell:

while (TRUE) { /* repeat forever */ type_prompt( ); /* display prompt */ read_command (command, parameters) /* input from terminal */ if (fork() != 0) { /* fork off child process */ /* Parent code */ waitpid( -1, &status, 0); /* wait for child to exit */} else { /* Child code */ execve (command, parameters, 0); /* execute command */ }}

Page 29: Introduction

System Calls (2)

• Processes have three segments: text, data, stack

Page 30: Introduction

System Calls (3)

(a) Two directories before linking/usr/jim/memo to ast's directory

(b) The same directories after linking

Page 31: Introduction

System Calls (4)

(a) File system before the mount

(b) File system after the mount

Page 32: Introduction
