Conclusion
Introduction and Background:-
Operating system are defined in terms of their functionality rather than
what they are. The Different definitions of OS are:-
Operating Systems (OS) Definitions:
 OS is an important /main component of the Computer System as shown in the figure

Hardware software

System Software Application Software

Core Part Remaining Part


(Operating System) (Utility Programs)
 OS is a System Software, that allows one to perform task on hardware conveniently and
efficiently.
 OS creates an Abstract Machine that provides an easy-to-use interface to develop and execute
programs.
 OS is a Control Program i.e., controls the execution of user programs and also concerned with
the operation and control of I/O(Input/Output) devices.
 OS provides Services to users of the system.
 OS manages all hardware and Software.

Overall, Operating system is an integrated set of program that controls the resources of a
computer system and provides its users with an interface or virtual machine that is easier to
use than the bare machine.

Main function of Operating System
A separate module of operating system software performs each of the function :

(1). Process Management:- process management module takes care of creation and
deletion processes, and providing mechanisms for synchronization and communication
among processes.

(2).Memory Management:- Memory management module takes care of allocation and de-
allocation of memory space to programs in need of this resources.

(3).File Management:-It takes care of file-related activities such as organization storage,


retrieval, naming, sharing and protection of files.

(4).Security:- security module protects the resources and information of a computer


system against destruction and unauthorized access.

(5).Command Interpretation:- Command interpretation module takes care of interpreting


users commands and directing system resources to process the commands.
From the User View point the OS provides following Services for their convenience.
Program Execution
I/O Operations
Communication
Error Detection
File-System Manipulation

From System View:-

Resource Allocation (Processor, Memory, I/O etc)


Accounting
Protection

CPU, Main/Caches, Secondary Storage, I/O Devices at the lower end and File Systems,
User Interfaces, Network Access ,Protection and security mechanisms at the higher-
end.
There are Different Types of Operating System
(1). Single User System:-They are popularly associated with Desktop operating system which
run on standalone system where no users account are required.
Example:- DOS

(2).Multi User System:- Provides regulated access for a number of users by maintaining a data
base of known users. Refers to computer system that support two or more simultaneous users.
Example:- Unix, Microsoft , Windows NT.

Android os Unix
Goals/Objectives of Operating
System:
 The purpose of to have an operating system or OS goals/objectives are
provide
1. Convenience(to user)- The primary goal of OS is to make the computer
system user friendly.
2. Efficiency ( of the systems)- The secondary goal of the OS is to make
efficient use of the computer resources.
3. Ability to Evolve- The OS should be constructed in such a way as to permit
the effective development, testing and introduction of new system function
without affecting the existing ones.
Conclusion

 Without Operating System the Computers cannot run the application and we
cannot do work in the computer.
 There operating system is very important in computer.
