Study Notes
OPS102 Course Details
- OPS102 replaced ULI101 for SDDS students in Fall 2023.
- The Mid-Term Test contributes 20% to the final grade.
- OPS102 was first offered in an unspecified year (no specific date mentioned).
Operating System Fundamentals
- The main focus of an Operating System (OS) is to manage computer hardware resources and provide a platform for running application software.
- The OS is responsible for resource management, including allocating resources to programs and preventing conflicts.
Resource Management
- The OS prevents multiple programs from simultaneously sending output to the same peripheral by controlling access to hardware resources.
- The OS enforces security rules, such as ensuring a user's program cannot access unauthorized files or resources.
Hardware Abstraction
- The OS hides the complexity of hardware from application software, providing a standardized interface for software to interact with hardware.
- The OS maintains the illusion of the programmer's model by presenting a simplified view of hardware resources.
Resource Allocation
- The OS allocates resources in a standardized manner to prevent conflicts between programs.
- The OS ensures consistent handling of hardware by application software by providing a unified interface for interacting with hardware.
Security Enforcement
- One responsibility of an OS regarding security enforcement is to enforce access control rules, ensuring that programs can only access authorized resources.
- The OS ensures that programs running on the system do not compromise system security or integrity.
