  6. Syllabus • Intro and architecture review • Process and Threads • CPU Scheduling (uni-, multi- and RT) • Concurrency Issues • Memory management and Virtual Memory • File systems, I/O and secondary storage • Network I/O (sockets and streams) • Distributed Processing CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  7. Introduction • Functions of an Operating System • Resource management • User environment • Traditional Design Approaches • Layered, Kernel and Virtual • Traditional Types of Operating Systems • General Purpose, Distributed, Multiprocessor, Database and Real-time CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  8. Functions of an OS • Resource Management • Time management - temporal properties • CPU and disk transfer scheduling • Space management • main and secondary storage allocation • Synchronization and deadlock handling • IPC, critical section, coordination • Accounting and status information • resource usage tracking CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  9. Functions of an OS (cont) • User Environment - OS layer transforms bare hardware machine into higher level abstractions • Execution environment - process management, file manipulation, interrupt handling, I/O operations, language. • Error detection and handling • Protection and security • Fault tolerance and failure recovery CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  10. Design Approaches • Deal with complexities of modern systems • Separation of Policies and Mechanisms • Policies - What should be done • Mechanisms - How it should be done • Levin, R., E. Cohen, W. Corwin, F. Pollack and W. Wulf, "Policy/Mechanism Separation in HYDRA," Proceedings of the 5th Symposium on Principles of Operating Systems, 1975, pp. 132-140. • Three common approaches: • Layered Approach • Kernel Approach • Virtual Machine Approach CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  11. Layered Approach • Simplifies design, implementation and testing • Modular by dividing OS into functional layers. environment resource HW CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  12. Hardware kernel Operating system Kernel Based Approach • Kernel contains a collection of primitives which are used to build the OS • OS implements policy • Kernel implements mechanisms CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  13. VM1 VM2 VM3 VM4 Virtual machine software Hardware Virtual Machine Approach • Virtual software layer over hardware • Illusion of multiple instances of hardware • Supports multiple instances of OSs CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  15. Types of OSs • General Purpose • Distributed Operating Systems • Multiprocessor Operating Systems • Database Operating Systems • Real-time Operating Systems CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  16. General Purpose Operating Systems • We will spend the majority of the semester studying what is classically known as a general purpose operating system. • Typified by desk-top and portable computing systems. • Most mechanisms we cover will equally apply to all types of operating systems • We will also look at policies and mechanisms commonly attributed to distributed and real-time operating systems CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  17. Distributed Operating Systems • Controls and manages resources for a network of autonomous computers • manage both hardware and software resources • behaves as a single monolithic system. • User not aware of program or resource location • Design issues same as traditional systems • Practical issues: • lack of shared memory • lack of global clock (i.e. time reference) • unpredictable communication delays. CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  18. Multiprocessor Operating Systems • Consists of a set of processors that • share a set of physical memory blocks • share a common clock • "share" over an interconnection network. • Control and manage resources • hardware and software resources • viewed as a uniprocessor system. • Design issues same as traditional system. • Practical issues: • increased complexity of synchronization, scheduling, memory management, protection and security. CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  19. Database Operating Systems • Database systems place increased demands on an operating system to efficiently support: • concept of a transaction • manage large volumes of data • concurrency control • system failure control CS422S: Operating Systems Organization

  20. Real-time Operating Systems • Place application specific special requirements on an operating system. • Policies and mechanisms are geared to ensuring jobs meet their deadlines. • Problem is one of resource scheduling and overall system utilization. CS422S: Operating Systems Organization
