  2. o o o o o o o o o o o Chapter 1 : Introduction What Operating Systems Do Computer-System Organization Computer-System Architecture Operating-System Structure Operating-System Operations Process Management Memory Management Storage Management Protection and Security Kernel Data Structures Computing Environments Open-Source Operating Systems Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  3. o o o o Objectives To describe the basic organization of computer systems To provide a grand tour of the major components of operating systems To give an overview of the many types of computing environments To explore several open-source operating systems Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.3 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  4. o o What is an Operating System? A program that acts as an intermediary between a user of a computer and the computer hardware Operating system goals: Execute user programs and make solving user problems easier Make the computer system convenient to use Use the computer hardware in an efficient manner Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  5. o Computer System Structure Computer system can be divided into four components: Hardware — provides basic computing resources CPU, memory, I/O devices Operating system Controls and coordinates use of hardware among various applications and users Application programs — define the ways in which the system resources are used to solve the computing problems of the users Word processors, compilers, web browsers, database systems, video games Users People, machines, other computers Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.5 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  6. Four Components of a Computer System 2 assembler user 3 text editor compiler Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition System and application programs operating system computer hardware 1.6 user database system Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  7. o o o o o What Operating Systems Do Depends on the point of view Users want convenience, ease of use and good performance Don' t care about resource utilization But shared computer such as mainframe or minicomputer must keep all users happy Users of dedicate systems such as workstations have dedicated resources but frequently use shared resources from servers Handheld computers are resource poor, optimized for usability and battery life Some computers have little or no user interface, such as embedded computers in devices and automobiles Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  8. o o Operating System Definition OS IS a resource allocator Manages all resources Decides between conflicting requests for efficient and fair resource use OS is a control program Controls execution of programs to prevent errors and improper use of the computer Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.8 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  9. o Operating System Definition (Cont.) No universally accepted definition 'Everything a vendor ships when you order an operating system" is a good approximation But varies wildly o "The one program running at all times on the computer" is the kernel. Everything else is either a system program (ships with the operating system) , or o an application program. Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.9 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  10. o Computer Startup bootstrap program is loaded at power-up or reboot Typically stored in ROM or EPROM, generally known as firmware D Initializes all aspects of system Loads operating system kernel and starts execution Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.10 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  11. o Computer System Organization Computer-system operation One or more CPUs, device controllers connect through common bus providing access to shared memory Concurrent execution of CPUs and devices competing for memory cycles mouse keyboard printer monitor CPU Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition disk controller USB controller memory 1.11 graphics adapter Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  12. o o o o o o Computer-System Operation I/O devices and the CPU can execute concurrently Each device controller is in charge of a particular device type Each device controller has a local buffer CPU moves data from/to main memory to/from local buffers I/O is from the device to local buffer of controller Device controller informs CPU that it has finished its operation by causing an interrupt Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.12 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  13. o o o o Common Functions of Interrupts Interrupt transfers control to the interrupt service routine generally, through the interrupt vector, which contains the addresses of all the service routines Interrupt architecture must save the address of the interrupted instruction A trap or exception is a software-generated interrupt caused either by an error or a user request An operating system is interrupt driven Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.13 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  14. o o o Interrupt Handling The operating system preserves the state of the CPU by storing registers and the program counter Determines which type of interrupt has occurred: D polling D vectored interrupt system Separate segments of code determine what action should be taken for each type of interrupt Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.14 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  15. CPU I/O Interrupt Timeline user process executing I/O interrupt processing idle device transferring I/O request Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition transfer done 1.15 I/O transfer request done Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  16. o I/O Structure After I/O starts, control returns to user program only upon I/O completion Wait instruction idles the CPU until the next interrupt Wait loop (contention for memory access) At most one I/O request is outstanding at a time, no simultaneous I/O processing After I/O starts, control returns to user program without waiting for I/O completion D System call — request to the OS to allow user to wait for I/O completion D Device-status table contains entry for each I/O device indicating its type, address, and state OS indexes into I/O device table to determine device status and to modify table entry to include interrupt Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.16 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  17. Storage Definitions and Notation Review The basic unit of computer storage is the bit. A bit can contain one of two values, O and 1. All other storage in a computer is based on collections of bits. Given enough bits, it is amazing how many things a computer can represent: numbers, letters, images, movies, sounds, documents, and programs, to name a few. A byte is 8 bits, and on most computers it is the smallest convenient chunk of storage. For example, most computers don't have an instruction to move a bit but do have one to move a byte. A less common term is word, which is a given computer architecture's native unit of data. A word is made up of one or more bytes. For example, a computer that has 64-bit registers and 64- bit memory addressing typically has 64-bit (8-byte) words. A computer executes many operations in its native word size rather than a byte at a time. Computer storage, along with most computer throughput, is generally measured and manipulated in bytes and collections of bytes. A kilobyte, or KB, is 1,024 bytes a megabyte, or MB, is 1,0242 bytes a gigabyte, or GB, is 1,0243 bytes a terabyte, or TB, is 1,0244 bytes a petabyte, or PB, is 1,0245 bytes Computer manufacturers often round off these numbers and say that a megabyte is 1 million bytes and a gigabyte is 1 billion bytes. Networking measurements are an exception to this general rule; they are given in bits (because networks move data a bit at a time).

  18. o o o o Storage Structure Main memory — only large storage media that the CPU can access directly Random access Typically volatile Secondary storage — extension of main memory that provides large nonvolatile storage capacity Hard disks — rigid metal or glass platters covered with magnetic recording material Disk surface is logically divided into tracks, which are subdivided into sectors The disk controller determines the logical interaction between the device and the computer Solid-state disks — faster than hard disks, nonvolatile Various technologies Becoming more popular Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.18 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  19. o O o Storage Hierarchy Storage systems organized in hierarchy Speed Cost Volatility Caching — copying information into faster storage system; main memory can be viewed as a cache for secondary storage Device Driver for each device controller to manage I/O Provides uniform interface between controller and kernel Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.19 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  20. Storage-Device Hierarchy Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition registers cache main memory solid-state disk hard disk optical disk magnetic tapes 1.20 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  21. o o o Caching Important principle, performed at many levels in a computer (in hardware, operating system, software) Information in use copied from slower to faster storage temporarily Faster storage (cache) checked first to determine if information is there D If it is, information used directly from the cache (fast) D If not, data copied to cache and used there Cache smaller than storage being cached Cache management important design problem Cache size and replacement policy Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.21 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  22. o o o Direct Memory Access Structure Used for high-speed I/O devices able to transmit information at close to memory speeds Device controller transfers blocks of data from buffer storage directly to main memory without CPU intervention Only one interrupt is generated per block, rather than the one interrupt per byte Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013

  34. o o o o o Process Management A process is a program in execution. It is a unit of work within the system. Program is a passive entity, process is an active entity. Process needs resources to accomplish its task CPU, memory, I/O, files Initialization data Process termination requires reclaim of any reusable resources Single-threaded process has one program counter specifying location of next instruction to execute Process executes instructions sequentially, one at a time, until completion Multi-threaded process has one program counter per thread Typically system has many processes, some user, some operating system running concurrently on one or more CPUs Concurrency by multiplexing the CPUs among the processes / threads Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.34 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013

  36. o o o o Memory Management To execute a program all (or part) of the instructions must be in memory All (or part) of the data that is needed by the program must be in memory. Memory management determines what is in memory and when Optimizing CPU utilization and computer response to users Memory management activities Keeping track of which parts of memory are currently being used and by whom Deciding which processes (or parts thereof) and data to move into and out of memory Allocating and deallocating memory space as needed Operating System Concepts — 9th Edition 1.36 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
  37. o Storage Management OS provides uniform, logical view of information storage Abstracts physical properties to logical storage unit - file Each medium is controlled by device (i.e., disk drive, tape drive) Varying properties include access speed, capacity, data- transfer rate, access method (sequential or random) File-System management Files usually organized into directories Access control on most systems to determine who can access what OS activities include Creating and deleting files and directories Primitives to manipulate files and directories Mapping files onto secondary storage Backup files onto stable (non-volatile) storage media Operating System Concepts - 9th Edition 1.37 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 02013
