2. Understanding Operating Systems Part II: Operating Systems in Practice • MS-DOS Operating System • Windows 2000 • UNIX/Linux Operating System • OpenVMS Alpha Operating System • IBM OS/390 Operating System Understanding Operating Systems

3. Software Components Developed Hardware Components Developed Operating Systems Developed Chapter 1: Overview • Introduction • Operating System Components • Machine Hardware • Types of Operating Systems • Brief History of Operating Systems Development • Conclusion Understanding Operating Systems

4. Components of an Operating System Operating system – part of the computing system that manages all of the hardware and all of the software • Controls every file, device, section of main memory & every nanosecond of processing time • Memory manager • Processor manager • Device manager • File manager Operating system consists of Understanding Operating Systems

5. Subsystems Must Work With Each Other

6. Tasks Performed by Each Subsystem • Monitor its resources continuously • Enforce the policies that determine who gets what, when and how much • Allocate the resource when appropriate • Deallocate the resource (reclaim it) when appropriate Understanding Operating Systems

7. Machine Hardware • Memory chips • Input/output devices (monitor, keyboard, printer) • Storage devices (disks, magnetic tape, card readers, drums) • Central Processing Unit (Arithmetic Logic Unit, registers, internal control, bus control) Understanding Operating Systems

8. Types of Operating Systems • Batch (simple and multi-programmed) • Interactive (time-sharing) • Real-time systems • Hybrid systems (combination of batch and interactive) • Parallel (tightly coupled) • Distributed (loosely coupled) Understanding Operating Systems
