Operating System as Resource Manager
• Responsible for managing all computer resources
• Functions same way as ordinary computer software
– It is program that is executed
• Operating system relinquishes control of the processor
to execute other programs
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems

Kernel
• Portion of operating system that is in main memory
• Contains most-frequently used functions
• Also called the nucleus
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems

Operating Systems History
• Early 1950s:
– Systems: Univac I, II; IBM 701, 704 – large, very expensive
• Serial Processing
– No operating system
– Machines run from a console with display lights and toggle
switches, input device, and printer
– Common concerns:
• Idle time between jobs
• Setup: running a job included loading the compiler,
source program, saving compiled program, and loading
and linking
• Every programmer writes routines to control I/O devices
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems

First Generation: Simple Batch Systems
• Eastern Joint Computer Conference in 1953: informal
discussion of IBM users
• GM develops input/output system for IBM 701
– Common set of procedures for access to I/O devices
– Monitor concept: Resides in main memory and controls the
running programs; Batches jobs together; Program branches
back to monitor when finished; Monitor starts next job
• GM and North American Aviation jointly develop
supervisor program for IBM 704
• ‘Share’ Operating System (SOS) developed by IBM on
709 for Share user group
– Supervisory control, buffered I/O, symbolic assembly
language

instruction), and one-level store (precursor of virtual
memory)
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
12
First Generation: Batch Multiprogramming
• Batch processing: each job submitted as a ‘batch’ of
cards
• Batch serial: jobs processed one at a time, each one
finishing before new one accepted
• Batch multiprogramming: several programs execute in
interleaved manner and share CPU, memory, I./O
devices – when a program waits for I/O completion,
CPU given to other program
• SPOOLing (Simultaneous Peripheral Operation OnLine)
– Spooler program reads jobs from cards and tapes onto disk
and copies output from disk to printer
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
13

• Interactive computing
– User and system programs on disk
– JCL commands entered by user directly on terminal
• Time-sharing systems
– Multiple users simultaneously access the system through
terminals
– Processor’s time is shared among the multiple users
– Time slice (time quantum) limits the amount of time (CPU)
received by each job

–
–
A program in execution
An instance of a program running on a computer
The entity that can be assigned to and executed on a processor
A unit of activity characterized by a single sequential thread of execution,
a current state, and an associated set of system resources
• Process components
– An executable program
– Associated data needed by the program
– Execution context of the program or process state (e.g., contents of
various processor registers, priority of the process)
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
26
Memory Management
• Process isolation
• Automatic allocation and management
• Support for modular programming
• Protection and access control

data
– Regulating process access to various resources
• Information flow control
– Regulating the flow of data within the system and its delivery
to users
• Certification
– Proving that access and flow control perform according to
specifications and that they enforce desired protection and
security policies
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
28
Scheduling and Resource Management
• The operating system:
– Manages the various resources: main memory space, I/O devices, and
processors, and
– Schedules their use by the active processes
• The resource allocation and scheduling policy must consider:
– Fairness
• Give equal and fair access to all processes
– Differential responsiveness
• Discriminate between different classes of jobs with different service
requirements
– Efficiency
• Maximize throughput, minimize response time, and accommodate as
many users as possible
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
29
System Structure
• The size and complexity of operating systems have significantly
increased in time to meet the needs of new features and complex
hardware:

Characteristics of Modern Operating
Systems
• Microkernel Architecture
– Only a few essential functions are assigned to the kernel
(address space, inter-process communication, and basic
scheduling)
– Other OS services are provided by processes (servers) that
run in user mode
• Symmetric MultiProcessing (SMP)
– There are multiple processors
– These processors share same main memory and I/O facilities
and are interconnected by an internal connection scheme
– All processors can perform the same functions
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
33
Characteristics of Modern Operating
Systems
• Multithreading: process is divided into threads that can
run concurrently
– Thread
• Dispatchable unit of work
• Includes processor context
• executes sequentially and is interruptable
– Process
• A collection of one or more threads and associated system
resources
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
34
Characteristics of Modern Operating
Systems
• Distributed operating systems
– Provide the illusion of a single main memory and single
secondary memory space
– State of the art for distributed operating systems lags that of
uniprocessor and SMP operating systems
• Object-oriented design
– Facilitates adding modular extensions to a small kernel
– Enables programmers to customize an operating system
without disrupting system integrity
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems

Windows 2000 (W2K): Brief History
• MS-DOS and PC-DOS
– DOS 1.0 released in 1981 had 4,000 lines of assembly
source code, ran in 8Kbytes of memory on a 8086
– DOS 2.0 in 1983 ran on the IBM hard-disk based PC XT
with 24Kbytes of memory resident OS
• Support for hard disk
• Hierarchical directories
• UNIX-like features: I/O redirection and background
printing
– DOS 3.0 in 1984 ran on the PC AT (80286) with 36Kbytes
– DOS 3.1, also in 1984, provided support for PC networking
– DOS 3.3, in 1987 ran on IBM PS/2 with 46Kbytes
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
36
Windows 2000 (W2K): Brief History
• Need for a new operating system
– MS-DOS/PC-DOS did not use the full capabilities of the
evolving processors: 80286, 80386, 80486 and then Pentium
(e.g., extended addressing, memory protection)
– To compete with Macintosh, in 1990 Microsoft developed a
graphical user interface (GUI), Windows 3.0, that had to run
on top of DOS
• Microsoft and IBM attempt to jointly develop a
common operating system; attempt fails; IBM develops
OS/2 (multitasking, multithreaded), Microsoft develops
Windows NT
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
37
Windows 2000 (W2K): Brief History
• Windows NT
– NT 3.1 released in 1993
• 32-bit operating system with ability to support older DOS and
Windows applications, as well as provide OS/2 support
• Same GUI as Windows 3.1
– NT 3.x, several versions
– NT 4.0
• Same internal architecture as 3.x
• Same user interface as Windows 98
• Several graphics components moved to NT Executive (kernel mode)
• Windows 2000 (W2K)
– Same Executive and microkernel architecture as NT 4.0
– New services and functions in support of distributed processing
– W2K Professional vs. W2K Server
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
38
Single-User and Multi-User Multitasking
• W2K (like OS/2 and MacOS) was design to exploit the
capabilities of 32-bit microprocessors to meet the
increasing needs of new applications
• Motivations for multitasking
– Applications have become more complex and interrelated
(e.g., use of a word processor, a drawing program, and a
spreadsheet application simultaneously for a document)
– Growth of client/server computing: system needs to support
user interaction concurrently with inter-processor
communication
• W2K Professional supports single-user multitasking,
while W2K Server supports multi-user multitasking
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
39
Windows 2000 Architecture
• Modular structure for flexibility
• Executes on a variety of hardware platforms
• Supports application written for a variety of other operating
system
• Currently, W2K is only implemented on the Pentium/x86
platform
• Separates application-oriented software from operating system
software
– OS software includes the Executive, the microkernel, device drivers, and
the hardware abstraction layer and runs in kernel mode (access to system
data and to hardware)
– Application software runs in user mode and has limited access to user
data
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
40
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
41
OS Organization
• Modified microkernel architecture
– Not a pure microkernel: Many system functions outside of
the microkernel run in kernel mode (reason: performance)
• Highly modular structure
– Each system function is managed by just one component of
the OS: the rest of the OS and all applications access that
component using a standard interface
– Key system data can only be accessed through the
appropriate function
– Any module can be removed, upgraded, or replaced without
rewriting the entire system
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
42
OS Organization – Layered Structure
• Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL): Maps between generic hardware
commands and responses and those unique to a specific platform
• Microkernel: Consists of the most used and most fundamental components of
the OS. Manages thread scheduling, process switching, exception and
interrupt handling, and multiprocessor synchronization. It does not run in
threads: not preemptable nor pageable
• Device Drivers: File system and hardware device drivers that translate user
I/O function calls into specific hardware device I/O requests
• I/O Manager: Dispatches requests to appropriate device drivers
• Object Manager: Creates, manages, and deletes Executive objects
• Security reference monitor: Enforces access-validation and audit-generation
rules
• Process/thread manager: Creates/deletes objects and tracks process and thread
objects
• Local Procedure Call (LPC) Facility: Enforces client/server relationship
between applications and executive subsystems within a single system
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
43
OS Organization – Layered Structure Cont.)
• Virtual memory manager: Maps virtual addresses in process’s address space
to physical pages in memory
• Cache manager: Improves performance of file-based I/O (read from cache,
defer write)
• Windows/graphics modules: Creates the windows-oriented screen interface
and manages the graphics devices
• User processes:
– Special system support processes: Services not included in W2K (e.g.,
logon process)
– Server processes: Other W2K services (e.g., event logger)
– Environment subsystems: Supported subsystems are Win32, Posix, and
OS/2
– User applications: Can be of five types Win32, Posix, OS/2, Windows 3.1
or MS-DOS
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
44
Client/Server Model
• Operation:
– A client (e.g., application program or another OS module) requests a
service by sending a message
– Message routed through the Executive to appropriate server
– Server performs requested operation and returns results or status with
another message
– Message routed through Executive back to client
• Advantages of client/server architecture:
–
–
–
–
Simplifies the Executive: possible to construct a variety of APIs
Improves reliability: clients cannot not directly access hardware
Provides a uniform means fro applications to communicate via LPC
Provides base for distributed computing
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
45
Threads and SMP
• W2K features that support threads and SMP:
– OS routines can run on any available processor and different
routines can execute simultaneously on different processors
– Multiple threads of execution within a single process may
execute on different processors simultaneously
– Server processes may use multiple threads to process
requests from many clients simultaneously
– W2K provides mechanisms for sharing data and resources
between processes and flexible interprocess communication
capabilities
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
46
UNIX
• Brief history (cont.)
– First widely available version outside Bell Labs was Version 6, in 1976
– Version 7, released in in 1978, is the ancestor of modern UNIX systems
– Most important non-AT&T development done at U. of C. at Berkeley,
called UNIX BSD, running first on PDP, then VAX
– In 1982, Bell Labs combined several AT&T versions into a system
marketed as UNIX System III
– A number of new features were developed to produce UNIX System V
– Traditional UNIX systems: System V Release 3 (SVR3), 4.3BSD
• Traditional UNIX system characteristics:
– Hardware is surrounded by the operating-system called kernel
– UNIX comes with a number of user services and interfaces (I.e., shell,
other interface software, and the components of the C compiler)
– Runs on a single processor and has limited protection capabilities
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
47
UNIX
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
48
Modern UNIX Systems
• System V Release 4 (SVR4)
– Developed jointly by AT&T and Sun Microsystems, combined features
from SVR3, 4.3BSD, Microsoft Xenix System V, and SunOS
– New features: real-time processing support, process scheduling classes,
dynamically allocated data structures, virtual memory management,
virtual file system, and a preemptive kernel
– Runs on machines ranging from 32-bit microprocessors up to
supercomputers
• Solaris 2.x
– Sun’s SVR4-based UNIX release
– Provides a number of advanced features: fully preemptable, multithreaded
kernel, full support for SMP, and an object-oriented interface to file
systems
– Is is the most widely used and most successful commercial UNIX
implementation
• 4.4BSD
• Linux
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
49
Modern UNIX Systems (Cont.)
• 4.4BSD
– Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) series of UNIX
releases has played a key role in the development of OS
theory
– Most enhancements to UNIX first appeared in BSD versions
– 4.xBSD is widely used in academic installations and has
served as the basis of a number of commercial UNIX
products
– 4.4BSD is the final version of BSD to be released by
Berkeley and includes a new virtual memory system and
changes in the kernel structure
• Linux
CS-550: Comparative Operating Systems
50
Modern UNIX Systems (Cont.)
• Linux
– Started as a UNIX variant for the IBM PC architecture written by Linus
Torvalds and posted on Internet in 1991
– A large number of collaborators contributed to the development of Linux
under the control of Torvalds
– Linux is free and the source code is available under the auspices of the
Free Software Foundation (FSF)
– Today, Linux is a full-featured UNIX system running on a variety of
platforms
– Linux key advantages:
• Modular structure: kernel organized as a collection of loadable
modules; a module can be loaded and linked into the kernel while the
kernel is in memory and executing
• With source code available, vendors can tweak applications and
utilities to meet specific requirements
