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.

Batch Processing Operating System

  Batch processing system ·           Batch processing is one of the oldest method    of running the programs ·           The computer in the past were very large in size and their I/O devices were very different from those that are used today. The job processing was not interactive as it is today. ·           The user did not interact directly with computer system.   ·           The process scheduling , memory management, file management and I/Omanagement functions are quite simple in batch processing system   1.         Process scheduling (i.e. allocation strategy for a processor is typically in order of their arrival i.e. first come first served(FCFS)basis.   2.         Memory management  is done by divi...

OS its Resource Manager and its Function

  Operating system as resource manager:   ·           A computer system usually has many hardware and software resources such as processor , memory, disk printer, I/O devices etc. ·           The task of resources management becomes essential in multi-user operating system where different user compute for the same resource.   Operating system manages resources in two ways : 1.         Time multiplexing : it defines the sharing of resources on the basis of fixed time slices. For example, the operating system allocate the resources, such as CPUto program A for fixed time slice. 2.         Space timing:  it defines the concurrent sharing of resources among different programs.for example, sharing of hard disk and main memory is space multiplexing.     FUNCTION OF OPERATING SYSTEM     The primar...

Virtual Machine Architecture

  Virtual Machine Architecture A virtual machine can exist as a standalone machine or it can exist within a vApp. A virtual machine is a software computer that, like a physical computer, runs an operating system and applications. The virtual machine consists of a set of specification and configuration files and is backed by the physical resources of a host. Every virtual machine has virtual devices that provide the same functionality as physical hardware are more portable, more secure, and easier to manage. Virtual machines can be standalone, or they can exist within a vApp. A vApp is compound object composed of one or more virtual machines as well as one or more networks. 1.    Monolithic architecture 2.     Layerd archtecture . 3.     Virtual machine architecture 4.       Exokernel architecture 5.      Client server architecture   6.       Micro kernel architecture The following figure ...
