Summary of "L-1.1: Introduction to Operating System and its Functions"

Main Ideas and Concepts:

• Definition of Operating System (OS):

  An Operating System is system software that acts as an interface between the user and hardware, facilitating interaction.

• Need for Operating System:

  Without an OS, users would need to write individual programs to access hardware, complicating interactions and making it inefficient.

• Primary Goals of Operating Systems:
  • Convenience: Simplifies access to hardware.
  • Throughput: Refers to the number of tasks executed per unit time, highlighting the efficiency of the OS.
• Market Share:

  Windows has historically dominated the OS market due to its user-friendliness, while Linux has gained popularity for its high throughput.

• Functionalities of Operating Systems:
  • Resource Management: Governs hardware allocation among multiple users.
  • Process Management: Manages the execution of processes and CPU scheduling.
  • Storage Management: Handles data storage on secondary devices like hard disks.
  • Memory Management: Manages RAM allocation and ensures efficient multitasking.
  • Security and Privacy: Provides authentication and ensures that processes do not interfere with each other.
• User Interaction with OS:

  Users interact with the OS through applications (e.g., Microsoft Office) or directly via command prompts, which invoke system calls for operations.

Detailed Bullet Point Format of Methodology/Instructions:

• Understanding the Role of OS:

  Recognize that the OS is essential for managing user and hardware interactions.

• Identifying OS Functionalities:
  • Resource Governor: Manages how resources are allocated among users.
  • Process Management: Uses CPU scheduling algorithms to manage multiple processes.
  • Storage Management: Utilizes file systems for data storage.
  • Memory Management: Allocates and deallocates RAM for processes, ensuring efficient use.
  • Security: Implements user authentication and process isolation to protect data.
• User Access:
  • Access applications to interact with the OS.
  • Use command prompts or terminals for direct OS commands, which utilize system calls (e.g., read, write, open).
