cs431 -cotter12 I/O Structure Control returns to user when I/O completes –wait instruction idles CPU –wait loop (contention for memory) –only 1 I/O request outstanding at any time Control returns to user without waiting for I/O –system call –device-status table –OS modifies table entry to include interrupt

cs431 -cotter35 Virtual Machines Pushes the layered concept to the next step Treats OS and hardware as though they were both hardware by providing a software (virtual) interface to the OS that is identical to the hardware interface OS creates the illusion of several different processes, each executing on its own processor with its own (virtual) memory

cs431 -cotter36 Virtual Machines CPU scheduling creates the appearance that each process has its own processor. Spooling and a file system can provide “virtual” line printers and “virtual” card readers
