Defination of OS(operating system) and its concepts

  What do you mean by operating system?

   Definition: An operating system is a program that act as an interface between the user of a computer and the            

                         Computer hardware. Operating system is a first program that gets loaded into the memory through a process called booting.

Concepts of operating system:

·                     The purpose of operating system is to provide an environment in which a user can execute program in a convenient and efficient manner.

·                     Operating system is an integrated set of program that manages the various hardware resources such as processor, memory, I/O Devices , communication devices and overall operation of a computer system.

·                     Operating systems also acts as a platform on which various applications programs such as word processor and excel are executed.

·                     The most common operating system are the window family of operating system (windows 98, window 2000, Nt, Vista and window 7), UNIX and Macintosh operating system.

 

*             Operating system as an extended machine.

*             operating system as resource manager .

   Operating system as an extended machine:

§   An operating system is a layer of software on the top of the bare hardware of a computer system.

§   This operating system manages the all parts of  the system, and presents to the users with an interface or virtual machine ,that is easier to program and use.

Thread

Thread What is Thread? A thread is a flow of execution through the process code, with its own program counter that keeps track of which instruction to execute next, system registers which hold its current working variables, and a stack which contains the execution history. A thread shares with its peer threads few information like code segment, data segment and open files. When one thread alters a code segment memory item, all other threads see that. A thread is also called a  lightweight process . Threads provide a way to improve application performance through parallelism. Threads represent a software approach to improving performance of operating system by reducing the overhead thread is equivalent to a classical process. Each thread belongs to exactly one process and no thread can exist outside a process. Each thread represents a separate flow of control. Threads have been successfully used in implementing network servers and web server. They also provide a suitable foundation ...

Multi Level Queue Scheduling (MLQ)

  Multi Level Queue Scheduling (MLQ) ·          Multilevel queue scheduling classifies the processes according to their types for example, a multilevel queue scheduling algorithm makes a common. ·          In this scheduling ready queue is divided into various queue that are called sub queues. A subqueue is a distinct operational queue ·          The process are permanently assigned to subqueues, generally based on some property of the process such as memory size,priority or process type ·          Each subqueue has its process sucheduling algorithm. For example interactive process at the foreground may use round robin scheduling while batch jobs at the background may use the FCFS method ·          For example, consider a system with four different queues 1.   ...

Distributed system

  Distributed system ·           A distributed system is a collection of processor located in geographical dispersal physical location. ·           In this system, the workhold is distributed or divided between two or more computers that are linked together by communication network . that is the different processors communicate using communication links, such as telephone lines and buses3 ·           The various processors do not share memory, clock ,or peripheral devices instead each processors has its local memory. ·           The purpose of distributed system is to provide an efficient and convenient environment for sharing of resources. ·           Some example of distributed operating system are amoeba, angle, chorus, much, alpha kernel. ·   ...

Layered Operating System

  Layered Operating System Layered Structure is a type of system structure in which the different services of the  operating system  are split into various layers, where each layer has a specific well-defined task to perform . It was created to improve the pre-existing structures like the Monolithic structure ( UNIX ) and the Simple structure ( MS-DOS ). Example –  The Windows NT operating system uses this layered approach as a part of it . Design Analysis : The whole Operating System is separated into several layers ( from 0 to n ) as the diagram shows. Each of the layers must have its own specific function to perform. There are some rules in the implementation of the layers as follows. The outermost layer must be the User Interface layer. The innermost layer must be the Hardware layer. A particular layer can access all the layers present below it but it cannot access the layers present above it. That is layer n-1 can access all the layers from n-2 to 0 but it canno...

Classification of Operating System

  Classification of operating systems The operating systems may be classified into different types depending upon the nature of interaction between the user and his/her program. The various types of operating system are : 1.       single user operating system    2.        Multi user operating system   3.         Batch processing operating system 4.        Multi programming operating system   5.       Multi tasking operating system   6.         Multiprocessing operating system 7.         Time sharing operating system 8.       Real time system      Distributed system Multi threading operating system       Single user operating system ·          ...
