    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

    What Operating Systems Do

     Depends on the point of view


     Users want convenience, ease of use and good
    performance
     Don’t care about resource utilization
     But shared computer such as mainframe or
    minicomputer must keep all users happy
     Users of dedicate systems such as workstations
    have dedicated resources but frequently use shared
    resources from servers
     Handheld computers are resource poor, optimized
    for usability and battery life
     Some computers have little or no user interface,
    such as embedded computers in devices and
    automobiles

    Operating System Definition

     OS is a resource allocator
     Manages all resources
     Decides between conflicting requests for
    efficient and fair resource use
     OS is a control program
     Controls execution of programs to prevent
    errors and improper use of the computer

    Operating System Definition (Cont.)

     No universally accepted definition


     “Everything a vendor ships when you order an
    operating system” is a good approximation
     But varies wildly
     “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.
