    Why computer relies on

    an operating system?

    Because without it, the


    user would not be
    able to interact with
    an application,
    hardware or
    peripheral device, or
    other user.
    This is the management of the interaction between an application and a hardware
     Control Hardware Access device. In order for the computer to access and communicate with a hardware device,
    it would require a hardware device driver.

     Manage Files and Folders A file system is created by the operating system which is located in the hard disk
    drive, in order to allow data to be stored. This fle system is made up of numerous
    programs and data files which are usually grouped together by program, in a directory
    or in folders.

     User Interface This allows the user to interact with both the software and the hardware.
    Command-Line Interface- user interacts with the computer using a series of
    commands.
    Graphical User Interface- user interacts with the computer through the use of menus,
    buttons, and icons.

    An application is located and loaded into the RAM by the operating system for it to be
     Application Management used or accessed by the user. The OS makes sure that every application has sufficient
    system requirements.
    API- is a set of guidelines that ensures an application is compatible with an operating
    system. Ex: Open GL – it is a cross-platform standard specification designed for
    multimedia graphics. DirectX- it is a library of APIs that are related to multimedia tasks
    designed for Microsoft Windows.

    FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS


    The capability of having
    more than one user who
    can access the programs
    and files on a single
    computer.

    The ability of operating


    multiple applications
    simultaneously.

    The capability of having


    multiple processors that
    applications can share.
     Multiuser
     Multitasking
     Multiprocessing
    The ability of multitasking
     Multireading in individual programs.
    COMMON MODES OF OPERATIONS:
     Real Mode - this mode of operationis capable of executing one program or application and addressing
    1MB of system data at a time. This is used in DOS and DOS application or 16 bit operating
    system.

     Protected Mode - this mode of operation is capable of accessing the entire memory of the computer
    including the virtual memory, which is the hard disk space that is used to emulate the
    RAM, and the managing applications simultaneously. This is used 32 bit operating system.

     Virtual Real Mode - this mode of operation is capable of running a real – mode application in a protected
    mode operating system.

     Compatibility Mode – this mode of operation is capble of recreating the environment of previous
    operating systems for applications that are not compatible with the current operating system
    used.
