Study Notes
Operating Systems
- Definition: Software that manages computer hardware and software resources, connecting users to computers
- Types: Batch, time-sharing, distributed, real-time, and embedded systems
Core Components
- Kernel: The core of the OS, managing system resources and communication between hardware and software
- Shell: A user interface enabling interaction with the OS, often through command lines
- Utilities: Tools for specific tasks to support user operations and system management
Random Access Memory (RAM)
- Definition: Volatile memory, storing actively used or processed data for rapid access
- Memory Addressing: Memory locations are identified by unique addresses (e.g., hexadecimal)
- Address Register: Stores the address of the accessed memory location
Process Management
- Process: A program in execution, utilizing memory space and resources.
- Job, Thread, Task: Units of work scheduled for execution by the OS. Threads are smaller execution units within a process and can be managed independently.
- Scheduling Algorithms: Techniques for process execution; examples include First Come First Serve (FCFS).
Memory Management
- Techniques: Manage memory allocation, including paging and segmentation, for efficient data storage & retrieval
- Virtual Memory: Allows process execution even without being fully loaded, enhancing multitasking.
Performance Metrics
- CPU Utilization: Keeping the CPU busy as possible
- Throughput: The number of processes completed within a given time
- Turnaround Time: Total execution time of a process
- Response Time: Time from the initial request to the first response
Security and Permissions
- Mechanisms: Protect against unauthorized access and ensure secure OS operations.
Distributed Systems
- Overview: Management of resources across multiple interconnected systems, emphasizing communication and coordination.
Networking Models
- OSI Model: Seven-layer framework for understanding network communication
- TCP/IP Model: Four-layer model (Application, Transport, Internet, and Network Access) crucial for grasping data flow
Routers
- Device connecting 2+ networks, managing traffic between them
- Routing Table: Tracks paths for routing data packets to destinations
Low-Layer Protocols
- Ethernet and Wi-Fi: Responsible for data transmission over physical mediums, including framing, error detection & addressing. Includes IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) and IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi).
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
- Maps IP addresses to MAC addresses, enabling communication between devices on a local network.
Domain Name System (DNS)
- Translates human-readable domain names (like sdu.dk) into IP addresses
HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
- Client-server protocol for transferring web pages, using GET and POST methods for client requests.
Multicast
- Efficient communication method where data from one sender is sent simultaneously to multiple specific recipients.
Routing Protocols
- RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and OSPF (Open Shortest Path First): Essential for determining the best data transmission paths across networks
Autonomous Systems (AS)
- Large networks or groups of networks under a single administrative control, managing IP addresses and routing policies; crucial for managing internet traffic
Distributed Systems Concepts
- Fault Tolerance: System's ability to operate properly when components fail.
- Data Consistency: Ensuring all nodes have the same data simultaneously.
- Scalability: Ability to handle increasing workloads.
Protocols for Delivering Audio and Video Using IP
- Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) framework, used for audio, video, and data transfers between browsers
- Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP): Delivers audio/video over IP networks.
- RTP Control Protocol (RTCP): Provides feedback on media quality in real-time communication
- Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN): Allows clients to discover their public IP address.
- Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN): Used when direct peer-to-peer communication isn't possible, relaying media through a server
Protocols for Video Streaming
- HTTP Live Streaming (HLS): For streaming media over the internet, developed by Apple.
- Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH): Adaptive bitrate streaming protocol allowing for high-quality streaming.
- Real-time Messaging Protocol (RTMP): For streaming audio, video, and data using the internet.
Data Processing Methodologies
- Batch Processing: Processing large data blocks simultaneously, efficient for historical data but has notable latency
- Stream Processing: Processing continuous data in real time, ensuring timely delivery but lacking error correction
Apache Kafka
- A platform for real-time data pipelines and event streaming
- Provides high throughput and fault tolerance.
Kubernetes
- Container orchestration platform
- Automates deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications
- Offers a framework for microservices and distributed systems.
File Systems
- Types of File Systems (NTFS, FAT32, EXT4, APFS) and their use Cases
- Data Management: Inodes, Metadata, storage devices (SSDs, HDDs)
- Performance/Optimization: Addressing Fragmentation, caching.
- Backup/Recovery: Redundancy, Self-healing.
- Emerging Technologies: NVMe, ZFS, and BTRFS
- Directories/File Organization: Directory Structures, Links (Hard, Symbolic), Sectors/Blocks
- Distributed Systems Concepts: Fault Tolerance, Data Consistency, Scalability
Terminology in Computing (e.g., Program, Process, Thread)
- Program: Set of instructions
- Process: An instance of a program in execution
- Thread: The smallest unit of processing within a process
Concurrency vs. Parallelism
- Concurrency: Managing tasks concurrently, not simultaneously
- Parallelism: Performing multiple tasks simultaneously, using multiple processors
Multithreading and Hyperthreading
- Multithreading: Utilizing multiple threads within a single program
- Hyperthreading: Enables multiple threads to run on a single processor
Inter-Process Communication (IPC)
- Methods for processes to communicate and synchronize (e.g., sockets)
Multitasking vs. Multithreading
- Multitasking: Operating system manages multiple processes
- Multithreading: Threads within a single process
Multiprocessor Systems
