Operating system defination and types

An operating system may be viewed as an organized collection of software extensions of hardware, consisting of control routines for operating system a computer and for providing an environment for execution of programs.

Other programs rely on facilities provided by the operating system to gain  access to computer system
 such as files and input/output devices. Programs usually invoke services of the operating system by means of operating system call.

Types of operating system:- 

Microsoft :-   1. window XP
                      2. window vista
                      3. window 7
                      4. window 8
                      5. window 8.1
                      6. window 10 etc.

Linux/Unix:-    1.redhat
                         2.kali5.
                         3. parrot
                         4.ubuntu etc.



various types of operating system:-

  1. Desktop system 
  2. Multiprocessor system
  3. Clustered system 
  4. Handheld system
  5. Real-time system
  6. multitasking

How to protect CPU

we must prevent a user program from getting stuck in an infinite loop or not calling system services, and never returning control to the operating system. This goal is achieved by using timer.   A timer can be set to interrupt the computer after a specified period. The period may be fixed or variable, A variable timer generally implemented by a fixed rate clock and a counter. The operating system sets the counter. Every time the clock ticks, the counter is decremented. When the counter reaches 0, an interrupt occurs. For example, a 10-bit counter with a 1 milisecond clock allows interrupt at intervals from 1 milisecond to 1024 miliseconds, in step of 1 milisecond.Before turning control to the user, the iperating system ensures that the timer is set to interrupt. If the timer intrrupts, control transer automatically to the operating system, which may treat the interrupt as a fatal error or may give the program more time. obviously, instruction that modify the operation of the tim

San Francisco is to home to technology. Now it's home to perhaps the most technologically-advanced house, too. Inside a new store on Fourth Street stands a mockup of a Victorian-style house, Complete with gingerbread trim and a three-panel bay window but made entirely out of acrylic.

A onesie outfitted with sensors, from the startup Memo, detects the movement and alerts a mother's phone in the adjacent room. A shimmering white stream of data visualizes the connection.

WHAT IS SPOOLING AND BUFFERING

Spooling:-                                A spool is a buffer that holds output for a device, such as a printer, that cannot accept interleaved data streams. Spooling is the process in which jobs from the to the disk and the location of that card in the disk is recorded in a table by the operating system. When that job is required for execution, it is read from the disk . Similarly, when job required a printer for output a line, that particular line is copied onto the disk and system buffer, and at the completion of job output is read from disk and printed by the printer. Some devices, such as tape drive and printer, cannot useful multiplex the I/O request of multiple concurrent applications. Spooling is one way that OS can coordinate concurrent output. Another way to deal with concurrent dives access is for provide ding explicit facilities for coordinating some OS provided support it is called spooling. Buffering:-                                  A buffer is a me
