Roadmap for Section 1. 2. History of Operating Systems Tasks of an Operating System OS as extension of the hardware Main concepts: processes, files, system calls Operating system structuring 3
The Evolution of Operating System Functionality Batch Job Processing Linkage of library routines to programs Management of files, I/O devices, secondary storage Multiprogramming Resource managment and sharing for multiple programs Quasi-simultaneous program execution Single user Multiuser/Timesharing Systems Management of multiple simultaneous users interconnected via terminals Fair resource management: CPU scheduling, spooling, mutual exclusion Real-Time Systems (process control systems) Management of time-critical processes High requirements with respect to reliability and availability 4
Tasks of an Operating System Processor management - Scheduling Fairness Non-blocking behavior Priorities Memory management Virtual versus physical memory, memory hierarchy Protection of competing/conurrent programs Storage management – File system Access to external storage media Device management Hiding of hardware dependencies Management of concurrent accesses Batch processing Definition of an execution order; throughput maximization 5
Kernel- and User Mode Programs Typical functionality implemented in either mode: Kernel: Privileged mode Strict assumptions about reliability/security of code Memory resident CPU-, memory-, Input/Output managment Multiprocessor management, diagnosis, test Parts of file system and of the networking interface User Space: More flexible Simpler maintenance and debugging Compiler, assembler, interpreter, linker/loader File system management, telecommunication, network management Editors, spreadsheets, user applications 6
Layered Model of Operating System Concepts nr name typical objects typical operations 1 Integrated circuits register, gate, bus Nand, Nor, Exor 2 Machine language instruction counter, ALU Add, Move, Load, Store 3 Subroutine linkage procedure block Stack Call, JSR, RTS 4 Interrupts interrupt handlers Bus error, Reset 5 Simple processes process, semaphore wait, ready, execute 6 Local memory data block, I/O channel read, write, open, close 7 Virtual model page, frame read, write, swap 8 Process communication channel (pipe), message read, write, open 9 File management files read, write, open, copy 10 Device management ext. memory, terminals read, write 11 I/O data streams open, close, read, write 12 User processes user processes login, logout, fork 13 Directory management internal tables create, delete, modify 14 Graphical user interface window, menu, icon OS system calls 7

Structuring of Operating Systems Monolithical systems App User Mode Unstructured Kernel Mode System services Supervisor call changes from user mode into kernel mode OS procedures Hardware 9
Layered OS Each layer is given access only to lower-level interfaces Application Program User Mode Kernel Mode System Services File System Memory and I/O Device Management Processor Scheduling Hardware 10
Microkernel OS (Client/server OS) Kernel implements: Scheduling Memory Management Interprocess communication (IPC) Client App Memory Server Process Server Network Server File Server Display Server User Mode Kernel Mode request Microkernel reply User-mode servers Hardware 11

Release History Although product name has varied, internally, each version identified by a “build number” Internal identification - increments each time NT is built from source (5 -6 times a week) Interesting timeline: http: //windows 2000. about. com/library/weekly/aa 010218 a. htm Build# 297 511 807 1057 1381 2195 2600 3790 4051 Version PDC developer release NT 3. 1 NT 3. 51 NT 4. 0 Windows 2000 (NT 5. 0) Windows XP (NT 5. 1) Windows Server 2003 (NT 5. 2) Longhorn PDC Developer Preview Date Jul 1992 Jul 1993 Sep 1994 May 1995 Jul 1996 Dec 1999 Aug 2001 Mar 2003 Oct 2003 Within the CRK, the term Windows refers to Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003 13
