What is an Operating System?
• It is the code that {Linux, Sun, Microsoft} provide
• The code which makes the computer crash

Introduction
• A computer system consists of– hardware– system programs– application programs
4
What is an Operating System?
• It is an extended machine– Hides the messy details which must be performed
– Presents user with a virtual machine, easy to use abstractions
• It is a resource manager– Each program gets time with the resource
– Each program gets space on the resource
5
Hardware Resources
6
Floppy Disk I/O
Anybody who directly communicates with the floppy disk controller must deal with:
• Physical address on disk (disk block)
• The data recording format
• Turn on/off the motor
• Error detection/correction
7
Abstractions
• Hardware– Disks
– Processors
– Network
– Monitor
– Keyboard
– Mouse
• Operating System– Files
– Threads of control
– Communication
– Windows, graphics
– Input (files)
– Locator

Program vs Process
• A process is a program in execution– Program is a piece of code– Process has “state” (what could this state be?)
• There could be multiple processes all simultaneously executing the same program
9
Multiple Processes
• Coordinate accesses and sharing of resources
• Sharing in time – CPU cycles
• Sharing in space – Memory

Deadlocks
(a) A potential deadlock. (b) an actual deadlock.

What is an Operating System?
• It is an extended machine– Hides the messy details which must be
performed– Presents user with a virtual machine, easier to
use
• It is a resource manager– Each program gets time with the resource– Each program gets space on the resource
15
History of Computer Hardware
• First generation 1945 - 1955– vacuum tubes, plug boards
• Second generation 1955 - 1965– transistors, batch systems
• Third generation 1965 – 1980– ICs and multiprogramming
• Fourth generation 1980 – present– personal computers
16
History of Operating systems (1)
• Vacuum Tubes – No operating system– Programmers supplied all the code– All programs in machine language
17
History of Operating Systems (2)
Early batch system– bring cards to 1401– read cards to tape– put tape on 7094 which does computing– put tape on 1401 which prints output– Use of high level languages
18
History of Operating Systems (3)
• Third Generation Computers• Multiprogramming system
19
History of Operating Systems(4)
• Third Generation– Multics (GE, Bell Labs, MIT)– OS/360 (IBM)– Unix (Thompson and Ritchie, Bell Labs)
• Originally written for DEC PDP-11
• Source code released to universities
• “Portable”
• Enhanced by Berkeley (BSD)
20
PC/Workstation Operating Systems
• Apple Macintosh (GUIs)• Microsoft DOS, Windows• Sun OS, Solaris (Unix based)• 1987: Tanenbaum writes OS text
and toy OS “Minix”• 1992: Linus Torvalds releases Linux 0.12
(building on Minix)• 2001: Windows XP
21
Course Info
• Text: “Modern Operating Systems” by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, 2nd edition
• Website http://class.ece.iastate.edu/cpre308/
• WebCT to handle grades, discussions
22
Labs
• Weekly labs
• Check your section
• Labs begin next week
23
The Workload
• Programming Labs – 30%
• 2 Projects – 15%
• 3-4 home works Quizzes based on homeworks – 10%
• Two exams (mid-term 15% and final 30%)
24
Collaboration
• Labs should be done individually (unless otherwise specified)– Not allowed to use work done by other students – Not allowed to get answers directly in any form
(ex: from the web)
• Cases of cheating will be dealt with severely
