Advanced Operating System CSN-502

This document provides an introduction to operating systems. It defines an operating system as software that manages computer hardware resources and acts as an intermediary between users and hardware. Operating systems provide for orderly allocation of resources through functions like CPU and disk scheduling, storage management, process synchronization, and security/fault tolerance. Advanced operating systems are needed to support high-speed architectures like multiprocessors and distributed systems, as well as applications with specialized requirements like databases and real-time systems. The document outlines the syllabus and recommended books for a course on advanced operating systems.

Advanced Operating System


CSN-502
Introduction

Operating System
The function of the operating system is to present the user
with the equivalent of an extended machine or virtual
machine that is easier to program than the underlying
hardware. The job of the operating system is to provide for
an orderly and controlled allocation of resources.
A S Tanenbaum and A S Woodhull

An operating system is a software that manages the


computer hardware. It also provides a basis for
application programs and acts as an intermediary
between the computer user and the computer hardware.
Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne

Why Advanced Operating System?

• High Speed Architectures


• Multiprocessor Systems
• Distributed System
• Applications requiring special OS support
• Database Systems
• Real Time Systems

Example

P1: A = 0; P2: B = 0;
A = 1; B = 1;
L1: if (B == 1) goto L1; L2: if (A == 1) goto L2;
< critical sec> <critical sec>
A = 0; B = 0;
