Slide 1: Introduction - Title: Understanding Operating Systems - Subtitle: Definition, Abstract Views, Functions, Event-Driven Systems, Efficiency & System Performance Goals
Slide 2: Definition of an Operating System - Definition: An operating system (OS) is a software that manages computer hardware and software resources, providing common services for computer programs. - Key Points: - Manages hardware resources (CPU, memory, storage, etc.) - Manages software resources (applications, drivers, etc.) - Provides a user interface for interaction with the computer system
Slide 3: Abstract Views of an Operating System - Abstract Views: Different perspectives of an operating system - User View: - Focuses on providing a user-friendly interface for users to interact with the system - Examples: Graphical User Interface (GUI), command-line interface (CLI) - System View: - Focuses on managing hardware and software resources efficiently - Examples: Memory management, process scheduling, file system management
Slide 4: Functions of an Operating System - Function 1: Process Management - Manages and schedules processes for efficient execution - Examples: Process creation, termination, scheduling, synchronization - Function 2: Memory Management - Allocates and manages memory resources for processes - Examples: Memory allocation, virtual memory management - Function 3: File System Management - Manages storage and organization of files and directories - Examples: File creation, deletion, access control - Function 4: Device Management - Controls and manages input/output devices - Examples: Device drivers, input/output operations
Slide 5: Event-Driven Systems - Event-Driven Systems: Systems that respond to events or inputs from users or other programs - Key Points: - Events trigger actions or processes within the operating system - Examples: Mouse clicks, keyboard inputs, network events - Enables multitasking and responsiveness in modern operating systems
Slide 6: Efficiency & System Performance Goals - Efficiency: Optimizing resource utilization and minimizing overhead - System Performance Goals: - Fast response time: Minimizing delays in executing user requests - High throughput: Maximizing the number of tasks completed per unit of time - Low resource utilization: Efficiently using system resources without wastage - Reliability: Ensuring system stability and minimizing failures
Slide 7: Conclusion - Recap of key points: - Definition of an operating system - Abstract views: User view and system view - Functions of an operating system: Process, memory, file system, and device management - Event-driven systems and their importance - Efficiency and system performance goals - Thank you!
