    Study Notes

    Operating System Concepts

    • Linkers and loaders primary function is to locate and relocate object code and libraries to create an executable program.

    Operating System Services

    • The purpose of the User and Operating System Interface is to provide a command-line interface, graphical interface, or batch interface to interact with the operating system.

    Boot Process

    • The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is responsible for booting an operating system when a computer is powered on.

    Course Guidelines

    • 'Timely submissions, NO exceptions' indicates that students must submit their assignments on time, with no exceptions or extensions allowed.

    Operating System Goals

    • One of the user goals for an operating system is not "Security" (Note: Security is a fundamental user goal for an operating system, so the correct answer is something else).

    Operating System Development

    • Applications must be compiled separately for each operating system because of differences in the operating system's architecture, system calls, and libraries.

    Operating System Policy

    • In the context of operating systems, 'policy' refers to the rules and procedures that govern how the system resources are allocated and used.

    Operating System Programming

    • Assembly language is commonly used for the lowest levels of an operating system because of its direct access to hardware components.

    Operating System Design

    • The important principle related to flexibility in operating systems is that the system should be able to adapt to changing system requirements and hardware configurations.
