SOFTWARE
 Software is a set of computer programs, which
is designed to perform a well-defined
function.
 A program is a sequence of instructions
written to solve a particular problem
 The programs are created by using computer
language.
 The programmers code the programs and then
merge them to create a software.
 Therefore we can define software as a set of
related programs that perform a specific
function.

SYSTEM SOFTWARE
 System Software is a set of master programs
that is designed to control various system
related activities.
 It also helps hardware components to work
together and provide support for the
development and execution of the
application software
 When multiple applications are running
simultaneously in computer ,system software
keep track of utilization of CPU time and
memory by different running applications.

TYPES OF SYSTEM SOFTWARE
 Operating system
 Language Processors
 Device Drivers
 Utility Programs

OPERATING SYSTEM
 Operating system is a complex grouping of
many low level programs that control the
entire operation of computer system.
 It also provides a platform to run application
software on the computer.
 It Act as a bridge between the hardware and
other user programs.

DEVICE DRIVERS

o Device driver is actually a communication device


between device and computer
o It loads every time in memory
o When a new device is added the driver should be
installed so that it operate as a link between
device and the operating system.
 If you attach a device whose driver is inbuilt
in a operating system, the device will start
working as soon as you attach it with your
computer. This is known as “Plug and Play”
compatibility.

LANGUAGE PROCESSORS
 These are the type of system software which
are use to convert instructions written in one
type of language into the other type.
 The user programs are created in computer
programming language but the computer
only understand the binary language of 0’s
and 1’s.
 So some mechanism is needed to do the
conversion. Language translators do the
same for users.
