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.
