  • What Is an Operating System III 2.1 Compnents II an Operating System
    Page 1 of 6 What is an Operating System III 2.1 Compnents II An operating system (OS) is software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function. Memory management Among other things, a multiprogramming operating system kernel must be responsible for managing all system memory which is currently in use by programs. This ensures that a program does not interfere with memory already in use by another program. Since programs time share, each program must have independent access to memory. Cooperative memory management, used by many early operating systems, assumes that all programs make voluntary use of the kernel's memory manager, and do not exceed their allocated memory. This system of memory management is almost never seen any more, since programs often contain bugs which can cause them to exceed their allocated memory. If a program fails, it may cause memory used by one or more other programs to be affected or overwritten. Malicious programs or viruses may purposefully alter another program's memory, or may affect the operation of the operating system itself. With cooperative memory management, it takes only one misbehaved program to crash the system. Memory protection enables the kernel to limit a process' access to the computer's memory. Various methods of memory protection exist, including memory segmentation and paging. All methods require some level of hardware support (such as the 80286 MMU), which doesn't exist in all computers.

    The Process CS 450: Operating Systems Michael Lee <[email protected]> Agenda - The Process: what is it and what’s in it? - Forms of Multitasking - Tracking processes in the OS - Context switches and Scheduling - Process API a process is a program in execution - its behavior is largely defined by the program being executed - but a process is much more than just a program! Multitasking - Modern general-purpose OSes typically run dozens to hundreds of processes simultaneously - May collectively exceed capacity of hardware - Recall: virtualization allows each process to ignore physical hardware limitations and let OS take care of details CPU/Memory Virtualization - Time-slicing of CPU(s) is performed to simulate concurrency - Memory is partitioned and shared amongst processes - But per-process view is of a uniform address space - Lazy/On-demand loading of processes lowers total burden vs. “Batch” processing - Without multitasking, each program is run from start to finish without interruption from other processes - Including any I/O operations (which may be lengthy!) - Ensures minimal overhead (but at what cost?) - Is virtualization still necessary? Pros/Cons of Multitasking - Pro: may improve resource utilization if we can run some processes while others are blocking - Pro: makes process interaction possible - Con: virtualization introduces overhead (examples?) - Con: possibly reduced overall throughput Forms of Multitasking - Cooperative multitasking: processes voluntarily cede control - Preemptive multitasking: OS polices transitions (how?) - Real-time systems: hard, fixed time constraints (late is wrong!) What’s in a process? - Program (“text”) and data - Static/Stack/Heap memory contents - Registers (e.g., PC, SP, FP) - Open files and devices (e.g., network) - What else? Data vs.

  • Types of Operating System 3
    Types of Operating System 3. Batch Processing System The OS in the early computers was fairly simple. Its major task was to transfer control automatically from one job to the next. The OS was always resident in memory. To speed up processing, operators batched together jobs with similar requirement/needs and ran them through the computer as a group. Thus, the programmers would leave their programs with the operator. The operator would sort programs into batches with similar requirements and, as the computer became available, would run each batch. The output from each job would be sent back to the appropriate programmer. Memory layout of Batch System Operating System User Program Area Batch Processing Operating System JOBS Batch JOBS JOBS JOBS JOBS Monitor OPERATING SYSTEM HARDWARE Advantages: ➢ Batch processing system is particularly useful for operations that require the computer or a peripheral device for an extended period of time with very little user interaction. ➢ Increased performance as it was possible for job to start as soon as previous job is finished without any manual intervention. ➢ Priorities can be set for different batches. Disadvantages: ➢ No interaction is possible with the user while the program is being executed. ➢ In this execution environment , the CPU is often idle, because the speeds of the mechanical I/O devices are intrinsically slower than are those of electronic devices. 4. Multiprogramming System The most important aspect of job scheduling is the ability to multi-program. Multiprogramming increases CPU utilization by organizing jobs so that CPU always has one to execute. The idea is as follows: The operating system keeps several jobs in memory simultaneously.

  • The Operating System the Operating System (OS) Is the He Low-Level Software Which Handles the Interface to Peripheral Hardware
    The Operating System The Operating System (OS) is the he low-level software which handles the interface to peripheral hardware, schedules tasks, allocates storage, and presents a default interface to the user when no application program is running. Main functions: - 1. Provides instructions to display the on screen elements with which you interact. Collectively, these elements are known as the user interface. 2. Loads programs into the computers memory so that you can use them. 3. Co-ordinates how programs work with the CPU, RAM, keyboard, mouse, printer and other hardware as well as with software. 4. Manages the way information is stored on and retrieved from disks. The User Interface With an OS you see and interact with a set of items on the screen, the user interface. Graphical User Interface - Most current OS provide a graphical user interface (GUI). Apple computer introduced the first GUI with its Macintosh computer in 1984. GUIs are so called because you use a mouse (or other pointing device) to point at graphical objects on the screen. The Desktop - The coloured area that is seen on the screen. The pictures stand for items you might see on a real desktop such as “my computer”. Icons - Icons are pictures that represent the parts of the computer you work with. Software designers try to design the icons so that they look like what they represent. You interact with your computers resources by activating the icon that represent the resource. This is done by using a pointing device. The Taskbar and the Start Button (windows only) - When you start a program a button appears for it on the taskbar – an area at the bottom of the screen whose purpose is to display the buttons for the programs you are running.
