  15. POSIX – The UNIX Interface Standard Application Software Web Server Second Life Yahoo Chat Pop Mail The POSIX Standard Specifies UNIX Interface Operating System (machine independent part) Portable Read/Write Standard Output Device Control File System Communication Machine specific part Network Hardware

  16. A peek into Unix Application Libraries User space/level Kernel space/level Portable OS Layer Machine-dependent layer • User/kernel modes are supported by hardware • Some systems do not have clear user-kernel boundary

  17. Unix: Application Application (E.g., emacs) • Written by programmer • Compiled by programmer • Uses function calls Libraries Portable OS Layer Machine-dependent layer

  18. Unix: Libraries Application • Provided pre-compiled • Defined in headers • Input to linker (compiler) • Invoked like functions • May be “resolved” when program is loaded Libraries (e.g., stdio.h) Portable OS Layer Machine-dependent layer

  19. Typical Unix OS Structure Application Libraries Portable OS Layer Machine-dependent layer • system calls (read, open..) • All “high-level” code

  20. Typical Unix OS Structure Application • Bootstrap • System initialization • Interrupt and exception • I/O device driver • Memory management • Kernel/user mode switching • Processor management Libraries Portable OS Layer Machine-dependent layer

  21. Summary:What is an Operating System? • It is an extended machine • Hides the messy details which must be performed • Presents user with a virtual machine, easier to use • It is a resource manager • Each program gets time with the resource • Each program gets space on the resource

  22. History of Operating Systems Early systems • bring cards to 1401 • read cards to tape • put tape on 7094 which does computing • put tape on 1401 which prints output Batch  Multiprogramming  Time sharing  Personal

  23. History of Operating Systems • Structure of a typical job – 2nd generation

  24. History of Operating Systems • Multiprogramming/timesharing system • three jobs in memory – 3rd generation

  25. History of Operating Systems • Multiprogramming/timesharing system • three jobs in memory – 3rd generation Memory Management Process Management

  26. History of Computer Generations • First generation 1945 – 1955 • vacuum tubes, plug boards • Second generation 1955 - 1965 • transistors, batch systems • Third generation 1965 – 1980 • ICs and multiprogramming • Fourth generation 1980 – present • personal computers

  27. Computer Hardware Review Components of a simple personal computer Bus

  28. Large Pentium system

  29. Computer Hardware Review Components of a simple personal computer CPU Bus

  30. CPU • Fetch instruction from code memory • Fetch operands from data memory • Perform operation (and store result) • Go to next instruction

  31. CPU Registers • Fetch instruction from code memory • Fetch operands from data memory • Perform operation (and store result) • Go to next instruction • Note: CPU must maintain certain state • Current instructions to fetch (program counter) • Location of code memory segment • Location of data memory segment

  32. CPU Register Examples • Hold instruction operands • Point to start of • Code segment • Data segment • Stack segment • Point to current position of • Instruction pointer • Stack pointer

  33. CPU Register Examples • Hold instruction operands • Point to start of • Code segment • Data segment • Stack segment • Point to current position of • Instruction pointer • Stack pointer • Why stack?

  34. Code Layout for Process • Processes have three segments: text, data, stack

  35. Code Layout for Process • Processes have three segments: text, data, stack Where is this stored?

  36. Computer Hardware Review Components of a simple personal computer CPU Memory Bus

  37. Memory Hierarchy • Typical memory hierarchy • numbers shown are rough approximations

  38. Computer Hardware Review Components of a simple personal computer CPU Memory I/O Devices Bus

  39. I/O Interrupt Mechanism • Steps in starting an I/O device and getting interrupt • How the CPU is interrupted (a) (b)

  40. Computer Hardware ReviewExample I/O Device: Disk Structure of a disk drive

  41. Operating System Review:Processes • A process tree • A created two child processes, B and C • B created three child processes, D, E, and F

  42. Context Switching • How would you switch CPU execution from one process to another?

  43. Semaphores • Control access to resources

  44. Shared Resources, Conflicts, and Deadlocks (a) A potential deadlock. (b) an actual deadlock.

  45. Inter-process Communication Two processes connected by a pipe
