Introduction:
This project aims to create a operating system simulator that concentrates on
fundamentals of operating system course such as process management, memory management, a
file system, a command-line interface, and elementary security measures. This scaled-down OS
will server as an effective educational resource for grasping the principles of operating systems and
can lay the groundwork for the enhancement and expansion into a more sophisticated system.
Project Objectives:
The following are some objectives of this project:
Educational Tool:
The project serves as a practical application to enhance learning of OS concepts.
Feature Implementation:
The project includes essential functionalities like process management, memory
management, file system management, and basic security.
User Interaction:
Develop a simple yet effective command-line interface to interact with the system,
enhancing the user’s understanding of OS operations.
Key Features
The project provides the following Key features.
Process Management:
Ability to create, schedule, and manage multiple processes.
Memory Management:
Efficient management of memory allocation for processes.
File System Management:

Basic operations like open, read, write, close.
Security:
Implement basic security features to protect system resources.
User Interface:
A command-line interface for system interaction.
System Specification
OS Name:
Display on boot using a sleep command for effect.
Customizability:
Users specify system resources at startup—RAM, hard drive capacity, and
processor cores.
Multitasking:
Simultaneous execution of multiple tasks.
Mode Operations:
Distinct user and kernel modes, where kernel mode allows for deeper system
control.
Application Suite:
A minimum of 15 distinct tasks including utilities like Notepad, Calculator, File
Manager, and games such as Minesweeper.
Project Implementation
Development Environment:
The OS simulator will be developed in C language.
Execution and Process Handling:

Each task will run in its own process environment, using system calls and exec
commands for process management.
Resource Management:
Implementation of algorithms to ensure effective and efficient management of CPU
cores, RAM, and storage based on user specifications and system requirements.
Interface and Usability:

Command-line based interaction.
System States and Multitasking:

Implementation of ready queues and process states (running, waiting, blocked) to
manage multitasking and resource allocation effectively.
Conclusion
This project aims to build a simulated operating system that not only reinforces learning but
also provides a platform for experimentation and understanding of complex OS concepts in a
controlled environment. Through practical implementation, users will gain firsthand experience of
how an OS manages hardware and software resources effectively.
