Hardware: provides the necessary
resources for computing and data
processing.
Software: specific programs (system
software and application software).
Operating System: the program system
works between the user (the user) and the

Resource allocator: Manage and allocate
resources.
Control program: Control the program execution
and control the operation of input/output devices.
The kernel: is the "core" program of the operating
system, which is executed first and exists in
memory until the computer is shutdown (other
programs are

History of development
7
The history of computer development is closely
linked to the history of microprocessors.
Before the 20th century, people used abacus for
calculation.
History of development
8
1st Generation: 1945-1955, used Vacuum Tube
technology, also known as computers using
electronic bulb technology.
Characteristics: consumes a lot of electricity,
generates a lot of heat and the system is less
reliable..
History of development
9
2nd Generation: 1955 – 1973, used
semiconductor technology (Transistor).
A computer system created with transistors
becomes much smaller, faster and more efficient
than a computer system created with vacuum
tubes.
History of development
10
3rd Generation): 1974 - 1979, used integrated
circuit IC (Integrated Circuit), a semiconductor
circuit established by implanting transistors on a
substrate (Silicon) and connecting the transistors
wirelessly.
History of development
11
4th Generation): from 1980. Computers used IC
integration technology (VLSI: Very Large Scale
Intergrated).
The birth of the 8088 microprocessor marked the
period of development of personal computers
(PC).
History of development
12
5th Generation: This is the period of development
of "smart" computers, which can automatically
recognize changes in the surrounding
environment like humans.
Can communicate with humans using natural
language.There have been breakthroughs in the
generation of “intelligent” computers; Honda’s
ROBOT Asimo is an example..

Command line mechanism system
Process management
17
A process is a program in progress
The role of an operating system in process
management:
Create and destroy user and system
processes.
Stop and redo a process.
Provides process synchronization mechanism.
Provides a way to communicate between
processes.
Deadlock control mechanism is provided
Main memory management
18
Keeps information about where in
memory is used and who is using it.
Decide which processes are loaded into
the main memory, when the memory is
available.
Allocate and recall memory as needed.
Manage extra memory
19
Manage disk free space.
Location of storage.
Schedule a disc.
Manage import and export

a program, process, or user to system
resources.

Multiprogram increases CPU utilization
by organizing tasks so that the CPU is
always in working condition.
Deals with task scheduling, memory
scheduling and CPU scheduling issues.
Multitasking system
28
Multitasking system: Many jobs are done together via
the CPU's conversion mechanism like multiplexing, but the
conversion time is very fast.
Multitasking operating systems are more complex
than multi-program operating systems.
Memory administration and protection, using virtual memory.

processing)
There are multiple processors that share the data
transmission line: the clock, the memory and the
peripherals.
Optimized than systems with multiple machines with a
single processor:
sharing peripheral devices, storage systems, sources ...
reliability
Symmetric multiprocessor: each processor runs with one
copy of the operating system
Asymmetric multiprocessing: each processor is assigned
a separate job. One main processor controls the entire
system, and the other processors follow the instructions of
the main processor.
Distributed system

Processors do not share memory and
clocks
Distributed processors often differ in size
and functionality
Share resources

Used when there are time constraints on
processor or data flow operations.
Fast processing time.
Accurate results in the fastest time squeezing
time.
Hard real-time system:
work is completed in time.
The data is usually stored in short term memory.
Soft real-time system:
Each task has its own priority and will be
executed according to that priority.

The structure of a layered operating
system

is divided into several layers
Each class is based on the lower classes.
The bottom layer is the hardware, the top layer is
the layer that communicates with the user.
Each class uses only the functions provided by
the lower class.
The kernel is in the next class of the hardware
class, using the hardware commands to make
system calls.

should be easy to write, easy to fix, and easy to upgrade
(should write the operating system in a high-level language
because it is easier to write and fix errors than in assembly
language).
It needs to be easy to install, easy to maintain, error free
and efficient.
It should be easy to use, easy to learn, safe, highly reliable
and fast to perform.
requires high portability (works on a different set of
hardware).
It is necessary to have SYSGEN (System Generation)
program that collects hardware related information in order
to configure the operating system to suit each computer.
