Software Categories

Application software Software written to address specific needs—to solve problems

in the real world
Word processing programs, games, inventory control systems, automobile diagnostic programs, and missile guidance programs are all application software
System software Software that manages a computer system at a fundamental level
It provides the tools and an environment in which application software can be created and run

Operating System An operating system manages computer resources, such as memory

Operating System

An operating system
manages computer resources, such as memory and

input/output devices
provides an interface through which a human can interact with the computer
allows an application program to interact with these other system resources

Operating System

The various roles of an operating system generally revolve around

the idea of “sharing nicely”
An operating system manages resources, and these resources are often shared in one way or another among programs that want to use them

Resource Management Multiprogramming The technique of keeping multiple programs in main

Resource Management

Multiprogramming The technique of keeping multiple programs in main memory

at the same time that compete for access to the CPU so that they can execute
Memory management The process of keeping track of what programs are in memory and where in memory they reside
Слайд 8

Resource Management Process A program in execution The operating system performs

Resource Management

Process A program in execution
The operating system performs process management

to carefully track the progress of a process and all of its intermediate states
CPU scheduling determines which process in memory is executed by the CPU at any given point

Batch Processing

A typical computer in the 1960s and ‘70s was a

large machine
Its processing was managed by a human operator
The operator would organize various jobs from multiple users into batches

Timesharing Timesharing system A system that allows multiple users to interact

Timesharing

Timesharing system A system that allows multiple users to interact with

a computer at the same time
Multiprogramming A technique that allows multiple processes to be active at once, allowing programmers to interact with the computer system directly, while still sharing its resources
In a timesharing system, each user has his or her own virtual machine, in which all system resources are (in effect) available for use

Other Factors

Real-time System A system in which response time is crucial

given the nature of the application
Response time The time delay between receiving a stimulus and producing a response
Device driver A small program that “knows” the way a particular device expects to receive and deliver information.

Memory Management Operating systems must employ techniques to Track where and

Memory Management

Operating systems must employ techniques to
Track where and how a

program resides in memory
Convert logical addresses into actual addresses
Logical address (sometimes called a virtual or relative address) A value that specifies a generic location, relative to the program but not to the reality of main memory
Physical address An actual address in the main memory device

Single Contiguous Memory Management There are only two programs in memory

Single Contiguous Memory Management

There are only two programs in memory
The operating

system
The application program
This approach is called single contiguous memory management

Single Contiguous Memory Management A logical address is simply an integer

Single Contiguous Memory Management

A logical address is simply an integer value

relative to the starting point of the program
To produce a physical address, we add a logical address to the starting address of the program in physical main memory

Partition Memory Management Fixed partitions Main memory is divided into a

Partition Memory Management

Fixed partitions Main memory is divided into a particular

number of partitions
Dynamic partitions Partitions are created to fit the needs of the programs
Слайд 19

Partition Memory Management At any point in time memory is divided

Partition Memory Management

At any point in time memory is divided into

a set of partitions, some empty and some allocated to programs
Base register A register that holds the beginning address of the current partition
Bounds register A register that holds the length of the current partition

Partition Selection Algorithms Which partition should we allocate to a new

Partition Selection Algorithms

Which partition should we allocate to a new program?
First

fit Allocate program to the first partition big enough to hold it
Best fit Allocated program to the smallest partition big enough to hold it
Worst fit Allocate program to the largest partition big enough to hold it

Paged Memory Management Paged memory technique A memory management technique in

Paged Memory Management

Paged memory technique A memory management technique in which

processes are divided into fixed-size pages and stored in memory frames when loaded into memory
Frame A fixed-size portion of main memory that holds a process page
Page A fixed-size portion of a process that is stored into a memory frame
Page-map table (PMT) A table used by the operating system to keep track of page/frame relationships
Слайд 22

Paged Memory Management To produce a physical address, you first look

Paged Memory Management

To produce a physical address, you first look up

the page in the PMT to find the frame number in which it is stored
Then multiply the frame number by the frame size and add the offset to get the physical address

Paged Memory Management Demand paging An important extension of paged memory

Paged Memory Management

Demand paging An important extension of paged memory management
Not

all parts of a program actually have to be in memory at the same time
In demand paging, the pages are brought into memory on demand
Page swap The act of bringing in a page from secondary memory, which often causes another page to be written back to secondary memory
Слайд 24

Paged Memory Management The demand paging approach gives rise to the

Paged Memory Management

The demand paging approach gives rise to the idea

of virtual memory, the illusion that there are no restrictions on the size of a program
Too much page swapping, however, is called thrashing and can seriously degrade system performance.
