Using Information Technology, 11e • System software runs at the most basic level of your computer. • It enables the application software to interact with the computer. • Helps the computer to manage its internal and external resources, as well as manage the hardware. There are three basic components of system software that you need to know about: © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education. This proprietary material solely for authorized instructor use.

Using Information Technology, 11e The operating system manages the entire computer system. • The operating system (OS) consists of the low-level, master system of programs that manage the basic operations of the computer. • Every general-purpose computer must have OS to run other programs. • OS allows users to concentrate on applications rather than on complexities of the computer. • Each application program is written to run on top of a particular OS. 9 © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education.

Using Information Technology, 11e Booting • The process of loading an OS into the computer’s main memory • Booting involves four steps: 1. Turn the computer ON. 2. Diagnostic routines* test Main Memory, CPU, and other Hardware. 3. Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) programs are copied to main memory. • BIOS contains instructions for operating the hardware. • The computer needs those instructions to operate the hardware and find a copy of the OS. 4. Boot program obtains the OS and loads it into computer’s main memory. •* Diagnostic routine A routine within a program that is entered as a result of some error condition having been detected, and serves to analyze the cause of that error or to provide information that is subsequently used for such analysis. 12 © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education.

This document may not be copied, scanned, duplicated, forwarded, distributed, or posted on a website, in whole or part. Using Information Technology, 11e CPU Management (continued) Memory Management • Memory management is the process of controlling and coordinating computer memory. • OS keeps track of memory locations to prevent programs(in ROM) and data(in RAM) from overlapping each other. • Swaps portions of programs and data into the same memory but at different times • Keeps track of virtual memory(RAM and temporary space in hard disk) • Virtual memory is a memory management capability of an operating system (OS) that uses hardware and software to allow a computer to compensate for physical memory shortages by temporarily transferring data from random access memory (RAM) to disk storage. © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education.

Using Information Technology, 11e Data compression is a method of removing repetitive elements from a data file so that it requires less storage space and therefore less time to transmit. Later the data is decompressed—the repeated patterns are restored. • Lossless compression uses mathematical techniques to replace repetitive patterns of bits with a kind of coded summary. During decompression, the coded summaries are replaced with the original patterns of bits -- the data that comes out is exactly the same as what went in. Lossless techniques are used when it’s important that nothing be lost—for instance, for computer data, database records, spreadsheets, and word processing files. • Lossy compression techniques permanently discard some data during compression. Lossy data compression involves a certain loss of accuracy in exchange for a high degree of compression. Examples of two lossy compression file formats are .jpeg and .mpeg, used for graphics files and sound files. © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education.
