Basic Operating System Concepts Pdf Thread Computing Process Introduction to operating system: what is an operating system? simple batch systems, multiprogramming and time sharing systems. personal computer systems, parallel systems, distributed systems and real time systems. operating system structures: operating system services, system components, protection system, operating system services, system calls. What is in this chapter? process definition scheduling processes what do processes do? a program is passive; a process active. attributes held by a process include hardware state, memory, why have processes? resource sharing ( logical (files) and physical(hardware) ).
Basic Concepts Of Operating Systems Download Free Pdf Operating What is an operating system? “the one program running at all times on the computer” is the kernel. everything else is either a system program (ships with the operating system) or an application program. a process is a program in execution. it is a unit of work within the system. program is a passive entity, process is an active entity. Written by david goodwin based on the lecture series of dr. dayou li and the book understanding operating systems 4thed. department of computer science and technology, university of bedfordshire. hardware is the term used to describe all the physical electronic and mechanical elements forming part of a computer system. • the most important abstraction in modern operating systems. • a process abstracts the underlying computer. • a process is a running program — a dynamic entity of a program. • program is a static file combination of instructions • process = program states • the states evolves over time. Process concept • from a user’s point of view, the operating system is there to execute programs: – on batch system, refer to jobs – on interactive system, refer to processes – (we’ll use both terms fairly interchangeably) • process 6= program: – a program is static, while a process is dynamic.

What is an os? * easier to use, simpler to code, more reliable, more secure • look! infinite memory! your own private processor! • multiple concurrent tasks, how does os decide who gets how much? • fooling the illusionist itself! what happens during concurrent updates to complex data structures? what if computer crashes during a block write?. What is an operating system? basically, software the enhances the hardware but what does it do? how does it help? •helps you (as a user or programmer) by making the system easier to use •helps your programs run by providing resources and protecting them •helps the system by keeping things running smoothly. Elements of operating systems and examine how and why they have developed as they have. 1.3 evolution of operating systems an operating system may process its task serially (sequentially) or concurretltly (several tasks simultaneously). it means that the resources of the computer system may be dedicated. Operating system is a program that provides controlled access to a computer’s resources. these resources include the cpu (process scheduling), memory (memory management), display,keyboard,mouse(devicedrivers),persistentstorage(filesystems),andthenetwork.
