LECTURE 1: OBJECTIVES
• To provide a grand tour of the major operating systems
components

• To provide coverage of basic computer system organization


WHAT IS AN OPERATING SYSTEM?

• A program that acts as an intermediary between a user of


a computer and the computer hardware

• Operating system goals:


• Execute user programs and make solving user problems easier
• Make the computer system convenient to use
• Use the computer hardware in an efficient manner
COMPUTER SYSTEM STRUCTURE

• Computer system can be divided into four components


• Hardware – provides basic computing resources
• CPU, memory, I/O devices
• Operating system
• Controls and coordinates use of hardware among various
applications and users
• Application programs – define the ways in which the system
resources are used to solve the computing problems of the
users
• Word processors, compilers, web browsers, database systems,
video games
• Users
• People, machines, other computers
FOUR COMPONENTS OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM
OPERATING SYSTEM DEFINITION

•OS is a resource allocator


• Manages all resources
• Decides between conflicting requests for efficient and fair
resource use
• Suppose two different components wants to use the data
bus simultaneously
•OS is a control program
• Controls execution of programs to prevent errors and
improper use of the computer
• For example the memory locations in RAM.
COMPUTER-SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Multiprocessors systems growing in use and importance
Also known as parallel systems, tightly-coupled systems
Advantages include
1. Increased throughput
2. Economy of scale
3. Increased reliability – graceful degradation or fault tolerance
Two types
1. Asymmetric Multiprocessing
2. Symmetric Multiprocessing
SYMMETRIC MULTIPROCESSING ARCHITECTURE
OS MANAGEMENT SUITE

•Process Management

•Memory Management

•Storage Management

•Protection and Security


PROCESS MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
• The operating system is responsible for the following
activities in connection with process management:
• Creating and deleting both user and system processes
• Suspending and resuming processes
• Providing mechanisms for process synchronization
• Providing mechanisms for process communication
• Providing mechanisms for deadlock handling
MEMORY MANAGEMENT
• All data in memory before and after processing
• All instructions in memory in order to execute
• Memory management determines what is in memory when
• Optimizing CPU utilization and computer response to users
• Memory management activities
• Keeping track of which parts of memory are currently being used
and by whom
• Deciding which processes (or parts thereof) and data to move into
and out of memory
• Allocating and deallocating memory space as needed
STORAGE MANAGEMENT

• OS provides uniform, logical view of information storage


• Abstracts physical properties to logical storage unit - file
• File-System management
• Files usually organized into directories
• Access control on most systems to determine who can access
what
• OS activities include
• Creating and deleting files and directories
• Primitives to manipulate files and dirs
• Mapping files onto secondary storage
• Backup files onto stable (non-volatile) storage media
PROTECTION AND SECURITY

• Protection – any mechanism for controlling access of


processes or users to resources defined by the OS
• Security – defense of the system against internal and
external attacks
• Huge range, including denial-of-service, worms, viruses, identity
theft, theft of service
• Systems generally first distinguish among users, to
determine who can do what
