The Gap
Users ←→ Hardware
User needs to think in terms of problem to be solved
• High-level data structures and corresponding operations
• Simple, uniform interfaces to subsystems,
• Treat programs and data files as single entities
Hardware capabilities are very low level
• Arithmetic and logical operators
• Comparison of two bit-strings
• Branching, reading, and writing bytes
The Gap
Fills the Gap
Software
Fills the Gap
Use software to bridge this gap
• Language processors e.g.,
- assemblers, compilers, interpreters
• Editors and text processors, linkers and loaders.
• Application programs, utility and service programs.
• Operating Systems

Local area networks (LANs) connect computers
within a building or a enterprise network.
LAN network topologies:
Ring Network

A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a collection of
Local Area Networks (LANs) that have been
connected together.


Machines of the time were so primitive
that programs were often entered one bit
at time on rows of mechanical switches
(plugboards).
Programming languages were unknown (not
even assembly languages).
Operating systems were unheard of.
The Second Generation (1955–65) 
Transistors and Batch Systems


A batch system is one in which jobs are
bundled together with the instructions
necessary to allow them to be processed
without intervention.
Often jobs of a similar nature can be
bundled together to further increase
economy.

User Space
(compilers,
programs,
data, etc.)

The monitor is system software
that is responsible for interpreting
and carrying out the instructions in
the batch jobs.
When the monitor started a job, it
handed over control of the entire
computer to the job, which then
controlled the computer until it
finished.
The Second Generation (1955–65) 
Transistors and Batch Systems

Advantages of batch systems
–
–

move much of the work of the operator to the computer
increased performance since it was possible for job to start
as soon as the previous job finished
Disadvantages
–
–
–
–
–
turn-around time can be large from user standpoint
more difficult to debug program
due to lack of protection scheme, one batch job can affect
pending jobs (read too many cards, etc)
a job could corrupt the monitor, thus affecting pending jobs
a job could enter an infinite loop
The Third Generation (1965–1980) 
ICs and Multiprogramming
Have more than one active
(running) program in memory at
any one time.
The Third Generation (1965–1980) 
ICs and Multiprogramming
Main features of this generation

CPU and I/O Overlap

Spooling
–

simultaneous peripheral operations on line
Time-sharing technique
The Third Generation (1965–1980) 
ICs and Multiprogramming
The typical CPU and I/O overlap pattern
in a single program
The Third Generation (1965–1980) 
ICs and Multiprogramming
Goal of multiprogramming 
Keep CPUs and and I/O devices busy.


Spooling (simultaneous peripheral operations on line).
In spooling, a high-speed device like a disk
interposed between a running program and a lowspeed device involved with the program in
input/output.
Example: Instead of writing directly to a printer,
outputs are written to the disk.
–
–
Programs can run to completion faster; and
other programs can be initiated sooner when the printer
becomes available, the outputs may be printed.
The Third Generation (1965–1980) 
ICs and Multiprogramming
Time Sharing Technique
 A variant of multiprogramming technique.
 Each user has an on-line terminal.
 Because the user is present and interacting with
the computer, the computer system must respond
quickly to user requests, otherwise user
productivity could suffer.
 Timesharing systems were developed to
multiprogram large number of simultaneous
interactive users.
The Fourth Generation (1980–Present)
 Personal Computers


With the development of LSI circuits, chips,
operating system entered entered in the
personal computer and the workstation age.
Microprocessor technology evolved to the
point that it become possible to build
desktop computers as powerful as the
mainframes of the 1970s.
