We eat Food

What is the benefit of eating food

The result is

• Energy
• Blood
• Immune system
• Fats
• and lot more ….
But our interest is

Who convert Food into all this ….

• Whatever we eat, human body system tries to
digest it and convert it to desired form of
energy.
• Every part of the body performs a specific task
and in a given time.

• If it doesn’t happen then …….. ?

Similarly Our computer system
is analogous to human system.
It executes every application
installed in the computers.

Who does it …

The course contents
• Introduction to Operating System
• Process Management
• CPU Scheduling and Process Synchronization
• Deadlock
• Memory Management

Course Objective
• To be able to understand the
reason behind the development of
Multiprogrammed Batch Systems,
Distributed Systems, Real Time
systems etc.

•To introduce the essential

elements of operating systems.
Outcomes
• Execute user programs
and make solving user
problems easier.

•Use the computer hardware

in an efficient manner

•Make the computer system

convenient to use
OS- Wake Up Call
OS- Wake Up Call

It checks to make sure that

everything is functioning properly

It checks the CPU, Memory and

Basic Input Output system
(BIOS) for errors
OS- Wake Up Call
•Once successful, the software will
begin to activate the computer’s disk
drive.

•It then finds the first piece of the

operating system: The Bootstrap
Loader

•The Bootstrap Loader is a small

program that has a single function:

•It loads the operating System into

memory and allows it to begin
operation.
UNIT 1 (Introduction)
Acts as an interface between user
and hardware.

It manages all the programs on the

machine

Performs basic tasks such as:

•Recognizing input from the

keyboard or mouse

•Sending output to the monitor

UNIT 2 (PROCESS MANAGEMENT)

The operating system is responsible for managing all the

processes that are running on a computer and allocate each
process a certain amount of time to use the processor.
 UNIT3 (CPU Scheduling)

The need for a scheduling algorithm arises from the

requirement for most modern systems to perform
multitasking (executing more than one process at a time)
UNIT 4 (Deadlocks)

“When two trains approach each other at a crossing,

both shall come to a full stop and neither shall start up
again until the other has gone.”
UNIT 5(Memory Management)
Each process must have
enough memory to execute

Different types of memories

must be used properly so
that each process can run
more efficiently.
UNIT 6 (Protection and Disk Management)
