Basic Concepts of Operating System

1)What is an Operating system?

An Operating System (OS) is a software that acts as an interface
between computer hardware components and the user. Every computer
system must have at least one operating system to run other programs.
Applications like Browsers, MS Office, Notepad Games, etc., need some
environment to run and perform its tasks.
The OS helps you to communicate with the computer without knowing how to
speak the computer’s language. It is not possible for the user to use any
computer or mobile device without having an operating system.

Types of Operating System (OS)

Following are the popular types of OS (Operating System):

 Batch Operating System

  Multitasking/Time Sharing OS
 Multiprocessing OS
 Real Time OS
 Distributed OS
 Network OS
 Mobile OS


Examples of Operating System are –

➢ Windows (GUI based, PC)

➢ GNU/Linux (Personal, Workstations, ISP, File and print server,

Threetier client/Server)
2)What is the role of an Operating system?

In an operating system software performs each of the function:

1. Process management: Process management helps OS to create and delete processes.

It also provides mechanisms for synchronization and communication among
processes.

2. Memory management: Memory management module performs the task of allocation

and de-allocation of memory space to programs in need of this resources.

3. File management: It manages all the file-related activities such as organization

storage, retrieval, naming, sharing, and protection of files.

4. Device Management: Device management keeps tracks of all devices. This module
also responsible for this task is known as the I/O controller. It also performs the task of
allocation and de-allocation of the devices.

5. I/O System Management: One of the main objects of any OS is to hide the

peculiarities of that hardware devices from the user.

6. Secondary-Storage Management: Systems have several levels of storage which

includes primary storage, secondary storage, and cache storage. Instructions and data
must be stored in primary storage or cache so that a running program can reference it.

7. Security: Security module protects the data and information of a computer system

against malware threat and authorized access.

8. Command interpretation: This module is interpreting commands given by the and

acting system resources to process that commands.

9. Networking: A distributed system is a group of processors which do not share

memory, hardware devices, or a clock. The processors communicate with one another
through the network.

10.Job accounting: Keeping track of time & resource used by various job and users.

11.Communication management: Coordination and assignment of compilers,

interpreters, and another software resource of the various users of the computer
systems.

These all are summed up by the flowchart given below for a better
understanding.
3)What is the need of of an Operating system?

1. Interface between the user and the computer

An OS provides a very easy way to interact with the computer. It provides
different features and GUI so that we can easily work on a computer. We have
to interact just by clicking the mouse or through the keyboard. Thus, we can say
that an OS makes working very easy and efficient.

2. Booting
Booting is basically the process of starting the computer. When the CPU is first
switched ON it has nothing inside the memory. So, to start the computer, we
load the operating system into the main memory. Therefore, loading the OS to
the main memory to start the computer is booting. Hence, the Os helps to start
the computer when the power is switched ON.

3. Managing the input/output devices

The OS helps to operate the different input/output devices. The OS decides
which program or process can use which device. Moreover, it decides the time
for usage. In addition to this, it controls the allocation and deallocation of
devices.

4. Multitasking
The OS helps to run more than one application at a time on the computer. It
plays an important role while multitasking. Since it manages memory and other
devices during multitasking. Therefore, it provides smooth multitasking on the
system.

5. Platform for other application software

Users require different application programs to perform specific tasks on the
system. The OS manages and controls these applications so that they can work
efficiently. In other words, it acts as an interface between the user and the
applications.

Some other uses/need for operating system are:

6. Manages the memory
It helps in managing the main memory of the computer. Moreover, It allocates
and deallocates memory to all the applications/tasks.

7. Manages the system files

It helps to manage files on the system. As we know, all the data on the system is
in the form of files. It makes interaction with the files easy.

8. Provides Security
It keeps the system and applications safe through authorization. Thus, the OS
provides security to the system.

9. Acts as an Interface
It is an interface between computer hardware and software. Moreover, it is an
interface between the user and the computer.
