Introduction
• What is Operating Systems?
– Single most complex & essential software
– Interface between user & computer hardware
• What does it do? How does it help?
– Helps user by making the system convenient to use
– Helps programs run by providing resources &
protecting them
– Helps system by keeping things running smoothly
– Helps user programmer to do his job efficiently
– Uses computer hardware efficiently

Goals of an Operating System
• Manages hardware resources so that the system
operates smoothly, efficiently, reliably and securely
• Presents abstract system model to programmer that
promotes simple and convenient access and control of
resources
• Maximize resource utilization [CPU, memory, I/O]
• OS must contain functions needed by many programs
– I/O device control, memory allocation etc.
– Maximum number of programs must get the benefit
– OS must not become bulky
Thursday, January 11, 2024 Biju K Raveendran @ BITS Pilani Goa 10
Application’s Expectation from OS
• Hardware abstraction for convenience and
portability
• Effective and Efficient use of hardware with
maximum multiplexing among applications
• Protection of correctly running applications
from malicious ones
• Allow maximum sharing among application

What if NO Operating System?
• All we have is a bare hardware
• We need a mechanism to
– Load the program into memory
– Run the program & Store the result in persistent storage
– Unload the program to release memory [for the next
program to use]
• For doing all these functions we need at least a minimal OS
– It must be the resident code that run by default
– Allow us to load program and run by allotting necessary
resources
– After completion of the user program control must come
back to the operating system
