Slide 3-3 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 3 Purpose of an OS The Abstractions Create the Abstractions Coordinate Use of the Abstractions Processes

Slide 3-4 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 3 OS Requirements Provide resource abstractions –Process abstraction of CPU/memory use Address space Thread abstraction of CPU within address space –Resource abstraction “Anything a process can request that can block the process if it is unavailable” NT uses “object abstraction” to reference resources –File abstraction of secondary storage use

Slide 3-8 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 3 OS Design Constraints Performance Protection and security Correctness Maintainability Commercial factors Standards and open systems

Slide 3-9 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 3 Performance The OS is an overhead function  should not use too much of machine’s resources Minimum functionality is to implement abstractions Additional function must be traded off against performance –DOS: one process –UNIX: low level file system

Slide 3-10 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 3 Protection & Security Multiprogramming  resource sharing Therefore, need software-controlled resource isolation Security policy: Sharing strategy chosen by computer’s owner Protection mechanism: Tool to implement a family of security policies

Slide 3-11 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 3 Correctness & Maintainability Security depends on correct operation of software  trusted vs untrusted software Maintainability relates to ability of software to be changed If either is sufficiently important, can limit the function of the OS –Guiding a manned spaceship –Managing a nuclear reactor

Slide 3-16 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 3 Processor Modes Mode bit: Supervisor or User mode Supervisor mode –Can execute all machine instructions –Can reference all memory locations User mode –Can only execute a subset of instructions –Can only reference a subset of memory locations

Slide 3-17 Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 3 Kernels The part of the OS critical to correct operation (trusted software) Executes in supervisor mode The trap instruction is used to switch from user to supervisor mode, entering the OS
