After studying this lesson they will be familiar with: 1. What is an operating system? 2. Important functions performed by an operating system. 3. Different types of operating systems. 1. 1 INTRODUCTION Operating system (OS) is a program or set of programs, which acts as an interface between a user of the computer & the computer hardware. The main purpose of an OS is to provide an environment in which we can execute programs. The main goals of the OS are (i) To make the computer system convenient to use, (ii) To make the use of computer hardware in efficient way. Operating System is system software, which may be viewed as collection of software consisting of procedures for operating the computer & providing an environment for execution of programs. It’s an interface between user & computer. So an OS makes everything in the computer to work together smoothly & efficiently.

  • Classification of Computers
    Classification of Computers Computer systems used for business purposes can be divided in to three classes: Microcomputers, Minicomputers and Mainframe computers. Though these divisions are loosely based on the size of the computer systems, there are no hard and fast rules for deciding exactly where one category ends and the next begin. Hence the largest minicomputer systems are often larger than the smallest mainframe computers. The “size” of a computer system is dependent on the size of a computer’s hardware configuration, the nature of its applications, and the complexity of its system software. This helps us to classify a system as a microcomputer, minicomputer or mainframe. Irrespective of size, all computers consist of two basic types of components. Those are processors and input/output (I/O) devices. The processor consists of three parts: the Central Processing Unit, or CPU, main storage and device controllers. The CPU executes instructions, main storage stores instructions and data processed by the CPU and device controllers let the CPU and main storage connect to I/O devices. Note: Though all computer systems consist of three basic components, the way those components are combined for a particular computer system varies depending on the system’s requirements. Microcomputer or Personal Computer Microcomputer is primarily intended for stand-alone use by an individual. Microcomputers are small, single-user systems which provide a simple processor and just a few input/output devices. This system consists of a processor with 2 or 4 GB of main storage, a keyboard, a display monitor, a printer, and a diskette drive with a capacity of 4GB and a 500 GB of hard disk.
