    Study Notes

    Operating System Design Concerns

    • Security, performance, and scalability are concerns of operating system design.

    Multiple Applications

    • The main purpose of multiple applications is to allow multiple tasks to run concurrently.

    Distributed Processing

    • A cluster system is a prime example of distributed processing.

    Mutual Exclusion Approaches

    • Software approaches for mutual exclusion assume elementary mutual exclusion at the memory access.
    • Structured approaches assume atomic actions at the memory access.

    Structured Applications

    • Structured applications serve as an extension of the operating system.
    • The main purpose of structured applications is to make it easier to write and manage programs.

    Operating System Design

    • Operating system design involves managing hardware resources and providing common services to computer programs.
