    An operating system (OS) is a set of programs that controls how the hardware of a computer works. It acts as the interface between users and applications software and the underlying computer hardware. The key functions of an OS include accepting input from devices, transferring output to devices, managing memory allocation and file storage, running programs, and handling errors. An important role of the OS is to enable multiprogramming through multitasking, allowing multiple programs to run simultaneously by swapping them in and out of memory, and multiuser capabilities, allowing many users to share processing on a central computer.

    Operating Systems

    By the end of this session, you will know:

    What an Operating System is. The functions it performs.

    Operating Systems
    What is it?
    An OS is a set of programs that controls how the hardware of a computer works It is the means of communication between the user and the computer, deals with the loading and running of application programs and manages the transfer of data and files to and from the peripheral devices.

    Operating Systems
    User Applications Software Operating System
    The OS acts like a bridge between the applications software and the computer hardware. Users need applications software to carry out tasks, the software needs the operating system in order to communicate with the hardware.

    Computer Hardware

    Operating Systems
    Functions:
    Accepts data from input devices and transfers it to the computer s memory. Makes sure any output is sent to the correct output device. Manages the transfer of data between the computer s memory and backing storage devices.

    Operating Systems
    Functions:
    Allocates memory space to programs and data. Loads applications software into memory and controls the running of them. Deals with any errors that occur when a program is being run and informs the user.

    Operating Systems
    Functions:
    Provides a human computer interface for the user Provides special facilities for multiprogramming. Manages system security by restricting access to prevent unauthorised access to the system.

    So, the OS is quite important!

    Operating Systems
    Question!
    Which 3 of the following is an OS responsible for?
    Transferring data to a printer? Allocating storage space on a disk? Positioning text in a word processing document? Finding a database record? Accepting keyboard input? Adding colour to a drawing on screen?

    Operating Systems
    Multiprogramming:
    A multiprogramming OS holds more than one program in memory. There are 2 Types of Multiprogramming OS you need to know : Multitasking and Multiuser

    Operating Systems
    Multitasking:
    A Multitasking OS allows two or more programs to run at the same time. It s like having MS Word, iTunes and Solitaire open on your computer at the same time!

    Operating Systems
    Multitasking:
    Multitasking is allowed as the OS swaps each program in and out of memory in turn when needed. The program not being used is temporarily stored on the backing storage until needed again.

    Operating Systems
    Multitasking:
    Backing Store Program A (Not used)

    CPU
    Program C (Being used)

    Program B (Just used)

    Operating Systems
    Multiuser:
    A Multiuser OS allows many different users at different terminals (in a network) to share the processing time on a central computer.

    Operating Systems
    Multiuser:
    This is allowed as the OS switches quickly between the terminals and giving each one a small amount of processing time on the central computer (called a time slice).

    Operating Systems
    Multiuser:
    Terminal 1
    Central Computer OS

    Terminal 2

    Terminal 3
    Processing power will be given in a round robin way!

    Terminal 4
