4 Computer hardware requires software to perform useful operations Types of software Systems Programs: manage the operation of the computer itself Application Programs: solve user problems The Operating System (OS) is the most fundamental of all systems programs OS controls ALL of the computers resources OS provides VALUABLE services to user programs OS COORDINATES the execution of user programs OS PROVIDES resources to user programs Computer Systems Structure Modern computer systems consist of: One or more processors Main memory Clocks (Synchronization, coordination) Terminals Disks Network Interfaces Input/Output Devices Systems Architectures SISD, SIMD, MIMD, MISD (we will look at these later) Processor Organization Single Processor Multiprocessor Symmetric Multiprocessor Distributed Clusters Brian Mitchell - Operating Systems 13 Brian Mitchell - Operating Systems 14 Rationale for OS OS Architecture Directly interfacing user programs with hardware is COMPLEX Building programs for specific computer architectures is not portable If every program included code to interface with the computer hardware Redundancy Inconsistent quality Inefficient use of resources DESIRE => Shield programmers from the complexity of the hardware OS is a layer that sits on top of the hardware OS provides an interface or virtual machine that is easy to understand and program Most Operating Systems use a layered architecture Banking System Compilers Airline Reservation Editors Operating System Machine Language Microprogramming Physical Devices Word Processor Command Interpreter USER SYSTEM HARDWARE Brian Mitchell (bmitchel@mcs.drexel.edu) - Operating Systems 15 Brian Mitchell (bmitchel@mcs.drexel.edu) - Operating Systems 16 4

5 OS Architecture (con t) OS Architecture (con t) Physical Devices Computer hardware - CPU, memory, I/O devices, network interfaces Microprogramming ROM-based programs Controls CISC processors Machine Language Instructions supported by the hardware Binary encoded Processors typically support instructions CISC vs RISC Use registers as the basis for performing most operations Running programs Device interfaces Operating Systems Hide the complexity of software Read 200 bytes from file A versus managing the motor and arms of the disk drive Provide an interface for the programmer Usually documented as a set of API s ex: Win32 on Windows98 & WindowsNT Win32 contains about 6,000 API s OpenFile(), CreateProcess(),... Systems software usually sits on top of the kernel of the OS Command Interpreter, Security Manager, Utilities (e.g., awk, grep on Unix) Most processors support multiple execution modes Minimally Kernel/Supervisor and User modes Brian Mitchell (bmitchel@mcs.drexel.edu) - Operating Systems 17 Brian Mitchell (bmitchel@mcs.drexel.edu) - Operating Systems 18 OS Architecture (con t) OS Architecture - Summary Operating system runs in Kernel mode and user programs run in User mode Kernel Mode Full access to machine instruction set Direct access to hardware, memory, and input/output devices OS and device drivers must run in Kernel mode User Mode Access to a limited set of machine instructions No direct access to hardware, memory and input/output devices Device access is coordinated by OS Typically user mode instructions consist of computational instructions MS DOS only supported Kernel mode Operating System acts as an extended machine from a user program perspective Reduce complexity Increase system integrity Reduce redundancy Operating System acts as a resource manager Hardware provides many resources to user programs Demand for resources may exceed resource capacity OS must optimally manage allocation of the resources Ex: Memory, Processor/CPU time Brian Mitchell (bmitchel@mcs.drexel.edu) - Operating Systems 19 Brian Mitchell (bmitchel@mcs.drexel.edu) - Operating Systems 20 5

7 History of Operating Systems Fifth Generation (2000? -???? ) OS designed to support massively parallel computer architectures Thousands of CPU s MPP architectures may consist of thousands of independent computers connected by high -speed networks ex: BISDN at 155Mbits/sec MPP architectures may consist of processor boards plugged into custom design backplanes One or multiple copies of the OS? Issues Cache coherence Management and coordination of distributed resources Bandwidth limitations Keeping consistent time Special Operating System Types Distributed Systems Goal is to distribute the computation across several physical processors Can use either standard networks, or proprietary inter-connection technologies Advantages: Scalability at low cost Reliability Disadvantages: Programming is complex Overhead may be large Real time systems Typically used to control a device Well defined time constraints must be respected General purpose operating systems do not often handle the requirements of a realtime system Brian Mitchell (bmitchel@mcs.drexel.edu) - Operating Systems 25 Brian Mitchell (bmitchel@mcs.drexel.edu) - Operating Systems 26 Operating System Components Operating System Components Process Management A process is a program in execution OS manages the creation and deletion of processes Main-Memory Management OS keeps track of memory in use and free memory, who is using the memory, allocation and freeing of memory. Secondary-Storage Management OS uses secondary storage to extend physical memory Secondary Storage typically resides on disk I/O System Management OS uses the I/O system for management of devices (device drivers) Caching Example: File System File Management OS Manages the creation and deletion of files, and directories OS also manages file system permissions Who owns the file, who can modify the file Protection System Distinguish authorized versus nonauthorized usage of OS resources Networking Enables OS users to utilize network resources Remote disks, Internet, shared printers, file servers, , Command-Interpreter System, Graphical User Interfaces Provides the user with an interface for using the operating system facilities Brian Mitchell (bmitchel@mcs.drexel.edu) - Operating Systems 27 Brian Mitchell (bmitchel@mcs.drexel.edu) - Operating Systems 28 7

8 Operating System Interfaces Virtual Machines Operating Systems typically provide two interfaces: User interfaces: Command Line Interpreter, or graphical user interface Program interfaces: OS provide interfaces via application programming interfaces to programs. Sometimes called system calls System Calls Operating system designers typically package system calls as C language function calls Example: Win32 on Windows 95/98/NT Most operating systems also provide additional classes for better integration with object oriented languages such as C++ Example: MFC on Windows 95/98/NT A virtual machine takes the layered approach to its logical conclusion. It treats hardware and the operating system kernel as though they were all hardware. A virtual machine provides an interface identical to the underlying bare hardware. The operating system creates the illusion of multiple processes, each executing on its own processor with its own (virtual) memory. Some operating systems (e.g., VM by IBM), work by running all processes in a virtual machine VM concepts are most widely applied in interpretive languages (e.g., Java) Interface to the machine is facilitated by the virtual machine Brian Mitchell (bmitchel@mcs.drexel.edu) - Operating Systems 29 Brian Mitchell (bmitchel@mcs.drexel.edu) - Operating Systems 30 8
