All Rights Reserved. The Operating System as Resource Manager The OS is responsible for controlling the use of a computer’s resources, such as I/O, main and secondary memory, and processor execution time Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Operating System as Resource Manager Functions in the same way as ordinary computer software Program, or suite of programs, executed by the processor Frequently relinquishes control and must depend on the processor to allow it to regain control Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Evolution of Operating Systems  A major OS will evolve over time for a number of reasons: Hardware upgrades New types of hardware New services Fixes Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Evolution of Operating Systems  Stages include: Time Sharing Multiprogramme Systems d Batch Systems Simple Batch Systems Serial Processin g Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Serial Processing Earliest Problems: Computers: Scheduling: No operating system Most installations used a Programmers hardcopy sign-up sheet to interacted directly with reserve computer time the computer hardware Time allocations could run short or Computers ran from a long, resulting in console with display lights, wasted computer toggle switches, some form time of input device, and a printer Setup time A considerable amount of Users have access to the computer in “series” time was spent on setting up the program to run Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Simple Batch Systems Early computers were very expensive Important to maximize processor utilization Monitor User no longer has direct access to processor Job is submitted to computer operator who batches them together and places them on an input device Program branches back to the monitor when finished Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Monitor Point of View Monitor controls the sequence of events Resident Monitor is software always in memory Monitor reads in job and gives control Job returns control to monitor Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Processor Point of View Processor executes instruction from the memory containing the monitor Executes the instructions in the user program until it encounters an ending or error condition “Control is passed to a job” means processor is fetching and executing instructions in a user program “Control is returned to the monitor” means that the processor is fetching and executing instructions Copyright from © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd.the monitor program All Rights Reserved. Job Control Language (JCL) Special type of programming language used to provide instructions to the monitor What compiler to use What data to use Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Desirable Hardware Features Memory protection While the user program is executing, it must not alter the memory area containing the monitor Timer Prevents a job from monopolizing the system Privileged instructions Can only be executed by the monitor Interrupts Gives OS more flexibility in controlling user programs Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Modes of Operation User Mode Kernel Mode User program executes Monitor executes in in user mode kernel mode Certain areas of Privileged instructions memory are protected may be executed from user access Protected areas of Certain instructions may memory may be not be executed accessed Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Simple Batch System Overhead Processor time alternates between execution of user programs and execution of the monitor Sacrifices: Some main memory is now given over to the monitor Some processor time is consumed by the monitor Despite overhead, the simple batch system improves utilization of the computer Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Multiprogrammed Batch Systems I/O devices are slow compared to processor Even with automati c job sequenci ng Processor is often idle Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Uniprogramming The processor spends a certain amount of time executing, until it reaches an I/O instruction; it must then wait until that I/O instruction concludes before proceeding Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Multiprogramming There must be enough memory to hold the OS (resident monitor) and one user program When one job needs to wait for I/O, the processor can switch to the other job, which is likely not waiting for I/O Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Multiprogramming Also known as multitasking Memory is expanded to hold three, four, or more programs and switch among all of them Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Multiprogramming Example Table 2.1 Sample Program Execution Attributes Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Time-Sharing Systems Can be used to handle multiple interactive jobs Processor time is shared among multiple users Multiple users simultaneously access the system through terminals, with the OS interleaving the execution of each user program in a short burst or quantum of computation Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Table 2.3 Batch Multiprogramming versus Time Sharing Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Compatible Time- Sharing System (CTSS) One of the first time-sharing operating systems Developed at MIT by a group known as Project MAC The system was first developed for the IBM 709 in 1961 Ran on a computer with 32,000 36-bit words of main memory, with the resident monitor consuming 5000 of that Utilized a technique known as time slicing System clock generated interrupts at a rate of approximately one every 0.2 seconds At each clock interrupt the OS regained control and could assign the processor to another user Thus, at regular time intervals the current user would be preempted and another user loaded in To preserve the old user program status for later resumption, the old user programs and data were written out to disk before the new user programs and data were read in Old user program code and data were restored in main memory when that program was next given a turn Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd.

Major Achievements Operating Systems are among the most complex pieces of software ever developed Major advances in development include: Processes Memory management Information protection and security Scheduling and resource management System structure Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Process Fundamental to the structure of operating systems A process can be defined as: A program in execution An instance of a running program The entity that can be assigned to, and executed on, a processor A unit of activity characterized by a single sequential thread of execution, a current state, and an associated set of system resources Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Components of a Process A Theexecution context process contains three is essential: It is the internal data by components: which the OS is able to supervise and control the An executable process program Includes the contents of The associated data the various process needed by the registers Includes information such program (variables, as the priority of the work space, buffers, process and whether the etc.) process is waiting for the The execution completion of a particular I/O event context Copyright (orEducation, © 2018 Pearson “process Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Process Management  The entire state of the process at any instant is contained in its context  New features can be designed and incorporated into the OS by expanding the context to include any new information needed to support the feature Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Causes of Errors Improper Nondeterminate synchronization program operation It is often the case that a When programs share memory, routine must be suspended awaiting an event elsewhere in and their execution is the system interleaved by the processor, Improper design of the they may interfere with each signaling mechanism can result other by overwriting common in loss or duplication memory areas in unpredictable ways The order in which programs Failed mutual exclusion are scheduled may affect the More than one user or program outcome of any particular attempts to make use of a program shared resource at the same time Deadlocks There must be some sort of It is possible for two or mutual exclusion mechanism more programs to be that permits only one routine at hung up waiting for a time to perform an update each other against Copyright the © 2018 file Education, Ltd.

Virtual Memory A facility that allows programs to address memory from a logical point of view, without regard to the amount of main memory physically available Conceived to meet the requirement of having multiple user jobs reside in main memory concurrently Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Paging Allows processes to be comprised of a number of fixed-size blocks, called pages Program references a word by means of a virtual address, consisting of a page number and an offset within the page Each page of a process may be located anywhere in main memory The paging system provides for a dynamic mapping between the virtual address used in the program and a real address (or physical Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd.

Multithreading Threa Proce Technique in d ss which a process, Dispatchable unit of work A collection of one or more threads and executing an Program counter, stack pointer associated system resources application, is divided into By breaking a single application into multiple threads, a threads that Includes a processor context and its own programmer has greater control over the can run data area for a stack modularity of the application and the concurrently timing of application- related events Executes sequentially and is interruptible Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) Term that refers to a computer hardware architecture and also to the OS behavior that exploits that architecture The OS of an SMP schedules processes or threads across all of the processors The OS must provide tools and functions to exploit the parallelism in an SMP system Multithreading and SMP are often discussed together, but the two are independent facilities An attractive feature of an SMP is that the existence of©multiple Copyright processors 2018 Pearson Education, is transparent to the user Ltd.
