INTRODUCTION

• An operating system is an integrated set of programs that is


used to manage the various resources and overall operations
of a computer system.
• It is designed to support the activities of a computer
installation.
• Thus, like a manager of a company, an operating system is
responsible for the smooth and efficient operation of the
entire computer system.
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
• An Operating System is low-level software that enables a user and higher-
level application software to interact with a computer’s hardware and the
data and other programs stored on the computer.
• An OS performs basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard,
sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories
on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as printers.
OPERATING SYSTEM
TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEM
• Batch Processing
• Real-time operating systems
• Time Sharing
• Single-User , Single task
BATCH PROCESSING
• This type of operating system does not interact with the
computer directly.
• There is an operator which takes similar jobs having the
same requirement and group them into batches.
• No job can be started until previous job is completed
• Examples of Batch based Operating System: Payroll
System, Bank Statements, etc.
REAL-TIME OPERATING SYSTEMS
• Real-time operating systems are used to control machinery,
scientific instruments and industrial systems.
• There is typically very little user- interface capability.
• Resources are managed so that a particular operation
executes precisely the same every time.
• Examples: Military Software Systems, Space Software
Systems are the Real time OS example.
TIME SHARING
• Each task is given some time to execute so that all the tasks
work smoothly. Each user gets the time of CPU as they use
a single system.
• These systems are also known as Multitasking Systems.
The task can be from a single user or different users also.
• Examples of Time-Sharing OSs are: Multics, Unix, etc.
SINGLE-USER, SINGLE TASK
• An operating system that allows a single user to perform
only one task at a time is called a Single-User Single-
Tasking Operating System.
• Functions like printing a document, downloading images,
etc., can be performed only one at a time.
• Examples include MS-DOS, Palm OS, etc.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF OS
• Multi Tasking
• Multi programming
• Parallel précising
• Buffering
• Spoofing
FUNCTIONS….
• File management: It manages all the file-related activities
such as organization storage, retrieval, naming, sharing, and
protection of files.
• Device Management: Device management keeps tracks of
all devices.
• Process management: Process management helps OS to
create and delete processes. It also provides mechanisms for
synchronization and communication among processes.
FUNCTIONS
• Memory management: Memory management module
performs the task of allocation and de-allocation of memory
space to programs in need of this resources.
• Communication management: Coordination and
assignment of compilers, interpreters, and another software
resource of the various users of the computer systems.
ADVANTAGES
• It enables users to run their own computer without any knowledge of
coding.
• It consists of programs and data that runs on computers, managing computer
hardware resources and providing services for various application software.
DISADVANTAGES
• If any problems affected in OS, you may lose all the contents which have
been stored already
• Unwanted user can use your own system
CONCLUSION
• Operating System performs a wide variety of jobs.
• The functions of operating system are transparent to the
user.
• This shows that operating system is very important part of
computer.
