    Operating Systems

    This presentation introduces operating systems and their importance. Operating systems manage
    computer resources, handle processes and memory, support file system and device management,
    provide a user interface, and enforce security measures. It also covers different types of operating
    systems, including single-user, single-tasking, single-user, multi-tasking, multi-user, and real-time
    operating systems (RTOS).
    Operating Systems
    An operating system (OS) is a fundamental software that manages and operates computer hardware,
    facilitating interaction between users and other devices. Operating systems serve as the backbone of
    any computer system, as they manage basic resources and provide an environment for running
    applications.
    Importance of
    Operating Systems
    ● Resource Management: Operating systems
    allocate and manage computer resources such
    as CPU time, memory, storage, and devices.
    They ensure efficient utilization of hardware
    components to optimize system performance.
    ● Process Management: OS handles multiple
    processes and tasks concurrently, scheduling
    them for execution and managing their
    interactions. This allows users to run multiple
    applications simultaneously without
    interference.
    ● Memory Management: OS manages system
    memory, allocating memory space to
    processes as needed and ensuring efficient
    memory utilization through techniques like
    virtual memory.
    ● File System Management: Operating systems
    provide file management services, organizing and
    controlling access to files stored on disks. They
    support file creation, deletion, and manipulation
    operations.
    ● User Interface: OS provides a userfriendly interface
    for interaction with the computer system, including
    graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and command-line
    interfaces (CLIs).
    ● Device Management: Operating systems control
    communication with input/output (I/O) devices
    such as keyboards, mice, printers, and network
    adapters, ensuring proper data transfer and device
    usage.
    ● Security and Protection: OS enforces security
    measures to protect system resources and user
    data, controlling access to files, networks, and
    applications to prevent unauthorized use and
    ensure data privacy.
    Types of Operating Systems

    1-Single-User, 2-Multi-User: Supports


    Single-Tasking: Supports 02 multiple users accessing
    only one user and one task the system concurrently
    at a time (e.g., MS-DOS). (e.g., Linux, Unix), providing
    resource sharing and
    security features for each
    01 03 user.

    4-Single-User, 3-Real-Time Operating


    Multi-Tasking: Allows a Systems (RTOS): Designed
    single user to run multiple for real-time applications
    applications
    simultaneously (e.g.,
    04 where tasks must be
    completed within strict time
    Microsoft Windows, constraints (e.g., embedded
    macOS). systems, industrial control
    systems).
    Evolution and Advancements
    in Operating Systems
    ● From batch processing to multi-tasking and
    time-sharing.
    ● Introduction of graphical user interfaces (GUI) for
    intuitive interaction.
    ● Support for client-server architectures and
    networked environments.
    ● Development of specialized OS for mobile and
    embedded devices.
    ● Advancements in virtualization enabling efficient
    resource utilization.
    ● Emphasis on security and reliability with robust
    features.
    ● Contribution of open-source OS for collaboration
    and innovation.a
