WHAT IS
OPERATIN
G
SYSTEM?

The operating system manages

all the task of the computer
system.The OS assigns CPU
time and memory addresses to
programs running on the
computer and gives an
interface between the hardware
and the computer user.

Common Operating System

Tasks
The following tasks are commonly
performed by an operating system;
- Monitor computer performance
- Correct errors
- Provide and maintain the user interface
- Boot the computer
- Read programs into the memory
- Manage allocation of memory addresses
to programs
-

- Create and maintain

directories
- Format diskettes
- Control computer monitor
- Sends job to the printer
- Maintain security and limit
access
- Locate files
- Detect viruses
- Compress data

Process Management
Process management is the supervision
of programs or jobs running on the CPU
at a certain time. The operating system
loads a program in to the main memory
of execution. Operating systems may
feature advance forms process
management.
Multitasking- also called
multiprogramming, is a capability of
oprating system to run two or more
program or tasks on the computer

 Multithreading- a type multitasking that

runs multiple task within a single
program simultaneously.
Time- sharing- a addition to
multiprogramming where several users
operate a computer system with one
processor but using different terminals.
Multiprocessing- this happens when a
computer symtem with several CPUs
execute several programs or threads by
assigning th programs or threads to
different CPUs.

 Virtual Memory- permits an application to

act as if it has access to the full storage
capacity of a computer system, rather than
just access to the size of main storage
installed on the computer system.It
virtually enlarges the capacity of the
primary storage an increases the speed of
the computer.
Fault Tolerance- It is the capability of a
computer system to give the correct output
and to keepoperating even after an error or
a fault occurs. It invloves error-connecting
memory, reccuring computer components
and related software that secures the

 Graphical User Interface (GUI)-It enables

computer users to use icons and mouse.
It features a social interface that provides
the use of graphics,animation, and voice
commands.

TYPES OF OPERATING
SYSTEMS

1.Mobile Device Operating

Systems
-Mobile device operating
systems are customized to run
on mobile devices such as
tablet computers, mobile
phones,mp3 players,
handheldcomputers, set-top
boxes, subnotebook PCs, and
factory floor equipment.

2. Desktop and Laptop

Operating Systems
-Desktop operating
systems are customized for
use by a single user or a
small workgroup of users
using PCs and laptops.

3. Departmental Server
Operating Systems
-Departmental operating
systems have robust
scalability , backup,
reliability,security, fault,
tolerance, multiprocessing,
multitasking, internet
integration, network
management, and directory

4.Enterprise Server Operating

Systems
- Enterprise operating systems
normally run on mainframes.they
provide a higher level of security,
stability, manageability, and
support for multiple users, online
applications, secure E-commerce,
large databases, and millions of
transactions per day. They support
thousands of simultaneous users

SUPERCOMPUTER
OPERATING SYSTEMS
-supercomputer
operating systems
manage highly parallel
multiprocessor and
multiuser environments.
