is the program that, after being initially loaded into the computer by a boot program,
manages all ofthe other application programs in a computer.
Operating System
TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEM
Single- and multi-user
Single-tasking and multi-tasking
Distributed
Library
Real-time
Templated
Embedded
manages a
group of distinct, networked computers and
makes them appear to be a singlebcomputer
Distributed
refers to creating a single virtual machine
image as a guest operating system, then saving it as a tool for
multiple running virtual machines.
The technique is used both
in virtualization and cloud computing management, and is
common in large server warehouses
Templated
They are designed to operate on small
machines with less autonomy (e.g. PDAs).
They are very compact and extremely
efficient by design and can operate with a
limited amount of resources.
Embedded
an operating system
that guarantees to process events or data by a specific moment in time
Real- time
True or False
A real-time operating
system may be single- or multi-tasking, but when multitasking, it uses specialized scheduling
algorithms so that a deterministic nature of behavior
is achieved.
True
a specialized, single
address space, machine image that can be
deployed to cloud or embedded environment
unikernel
is one in which
the services that a typical operating system
provides, such as networking, are provided
in the form of libraries andcomposed with
the application and configuration code to
construct a unikernel
Library
He laid the foundations of today’s operating systems
UNIX
was not a commercially very
successful, his proposal, but affected the whole
generation of computers and operating systems.
Xerox Alto
It was the first computer using a mouse and a
fully graphical interface
Xerox Alto
became one of the first
massively expanded home computers.
Steve Wozniak Apple II
first
appeared on Apple II computers a year after its
launch, and strongly influenced by the way it
evolved operating systems over the next decade
Apple DOS (Disk Operating System)
Five Common Operating System
