SYSTEMS SOFTWARE
![Page 10: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Role of Systems Software
• Operating Systems Control the computer hardware and act as an
interface with applications programs.
![Page 11: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Operating System Functions
Operating System Functions
Perform common computer hardware functions (e.g. I/O)Provide a user interfaceProvide a degree of hardware independenceManage system memoryManage processing tasksProvide networking capabilityControl access to system resourcesManage files
![Page 12: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
User Interface
• A function of the operating system that allows individuals to access and command the computer. Text-Based User Interface (e.g. DOS)
Requires text commands be given to the computer to perform basic activities.
Graphical User Interface (GUI) Uses pictures (icons) and menus displayed on the
screen to send commands to the computer system.
![Page 13: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Hardware Independence
• Provides a layer between the application software and the hardware. Application Program Interface (API) Same software can be used on various
hardware; the OS makes adjustments Changes in hardware may not require a change
in application software
![Page 15: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Virtual Memory
• Virtual Memory Memory that allocates space in secondary storage to
supplement the immediate, functional memory capacity of RAM.
• Paging A function of virtual memory that allows the
computer to store currently needed pages in RAM while the rest of these programs wait in secondary storage.
• Invalid Page Fault The operating system cannot find the data requested
![Page 17: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Processing Tasks
• Multitasking A processing activity that allows a user to run more
than one application at the same time.
• Multithreading The ability of a program to manage its use by more
than one user at a time without having to have multiple copies of the program.
• Time-sharing Multiple users simultaneously using the resources
of a single processor (scalability).

Algorithms
• Computers are fast, but not intelligent• They need algorithms…• A precise set of instructions that
describes how to perform a specific task. Describes the environment and the steps e.g. A recipe
• The algorithms must be provided in a language the computer can understand…
![Page 42: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Programming Languages
• Coding schemes used to write both systems and application software.
• Function is to provide instructions (algorithms) that the computer system can understand so that it can perform a processing activity (execute).
• A variety of languages Basic, Cobol, C++, Perl, Java…
![Page 43: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Program
• A set of algorithms written using a programming language (source code)
• Must be translated into something the computer can understand (execute)
![Page 44: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Language Translators
• Systems software that converts a programmer’s source code into its equivalent in machine language (object code) and detects syntax errors. Interpreters translate one program statement at a
time as a program is running Compilers (assemblers) convert a complete
program into machine language that the computer can process in its entirety
![Page 45: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Syntax
All languages have a syntax…
• The grammar, structure, or order of the elements in a language statement
• Syntax can be extremely rigid as in the case of most assembler languages or less rigid in others
![Page 49: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
1GL - Machine Language
• Machine code is the elemental (low-level) language of computers, consisting of a stream of 0's and 1's (binary code)
![Page 50: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Machine Language
• The computer's processor reads in and processes a certain number of 0's and 1's at a time. 1 statement = 1 instruction. A 32-bit processor reads in 32 bits at a time
• To make machine language easier to read, one hexadecimal can represent four binary digits. Two hexadecimal digits can represent eight binary digits, or a byte (e.g. 1111 0111=F7=247).
![Page 51: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
2GL – Assembly Language
• Uses symbols rather than binary digits to communicate instructions
• Then converted into machine code by a program called an assembler
e.g. L 8,3000 = load the value at memory location 3000 into register 8
Programmers still had to keep track of where everything was stored in memory.
![Page 52: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
3GLs
• Basic, COBOL, C, C++, Fortran• Use English-like commands• One or two keywords (macros) replaced
5-7 assembly instructions e.g. READ HOURS_WORKED
• Labels replaced memory locations• The keywords and labels are converted
into machine codes
![Page 53: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
4GLs
• More English-like than 3GLs• Non-procedural
Programmers do not have to give step by step instructions to perform a function
e.g. for every worker if hours are greater than 40 multiply overtime by 1.5
• Each statement in a 4GL language can be converted to 30 to 50 assembly instructions
![Page 54: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
4GLs
• Structured Query Language (SQL) A standardized language often used to
perform database queries and manipulations.
• Oracle, Powerhouse, FOCUS, 4GL
![Page 55: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Object Oriented Languages
• A revolutionary concept that changed the rules in computer programming
• Organized around objects Modeled after real-world objects
(e.g. houses)
![Page 56: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Object Oriented Languages
• Polymorphism: One procedure can work with multiple objects.
• Inheritance: an object in a particular class gets attributes of that class Lower costs Reduced testing Faster implementation
![Page 57: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Visual Programming Languages
• Languages that use a mouse, icons, or symbols on the screen and pull-down menus to develop programs. Easy to use; intuitive Tend to run slowly Poor connectivity features Lack power and flexibility Visual Basic, VBA, Visual C++
![Page 58: 4 C H A P T E R Software: Systems and Application Software.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d045503460f949d72c8/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Fifth-Generation Languages
• Knowledge-based programming An approach to the development of
