Operating System Basics §Programs controlling the computer

§Controls:

»Hardware

»Software

§Manages:

»Memory, Processes, File System, Networking, and

Security

§Platform for System software and application software.

§E.g. Windows, Mac OS, Linux



Operating System: Basics

Applications

Operating

System



Operating System: Kernel

§Lowest level of abstractionimplemented in software

§Central component of

operating System

§Manages System

Resources:»CPU

»Memory

»Input/Output devices

§Types:

»Monolithic Kernel»Microkernel

§

Kernel

Applications

CPU Memory Devices



Process Management

§

Every program running on computer is aprocess

§MS-DOS could run only 1 process at a time

§Modern operating system enable running

multiple processes even on 1 CPU with multi-tasking capability

§Deals running multiple processes

§Computing and distributing CPU time as well as

other resources



Memory Management

§

Memory available in the form of registers, CPUCache, RAM, and Disk

§Memory Manager coordinates the use of thesevarious types of memory by tracking whichone is available, which is to be allocated or de-allocated and how to move data between them

§Manages virtual addresses

§



Disk and File System

§

Hierarchy of directories§Each system has unique way to represent file

names, directories

§FAT,NTFS are some of the window’s file system

§

Floppy Disc, DVD, Compact Storage Devices areused as physical medium to store content



Device Drivers

§

Specific type of computer software developed toallow interaction with hardware devices

§Key design goal of device drivers is abstraction

§Specialized hardware-dependent computer

program which is also operating systemspecific that enables another program,typically an operating system or applicationssoftware package or computer program

§Device Driver example

§Software component for interacting with Printer,Keyboard, Video Adapters



Self Study

§

The self study activity is aimed at providingyou with more additional information onOperating Systems

§ Through the self paced learning you wouldunderstand more about Operating systemby reading the contents available in thecollaborative Learning Environment calledIKNOW. (http://myacademy/iknow)
