What the OS does
Provides a user interface
Manages the CPU
Manages memory and storage
Manages hardware and peripheral devices
Coordinates application software with the CPU
![Page 17: Using System Software Chapter 5. Announcements Chapter 5 Homework Windows 7 Homework](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649de95503460f94ae342b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The User Interface
Enables you to interact with the computer
Types of interfaces: Command-line Interface
Menu-driven Interface
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
![Page 18: Using System Software Chapter 5. Announcements Chapter 5 Homework Windows 7 Homework](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649de95503460f94ae342b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Command Line Interface
![Page 19: Using System Software Chapter 5. Announcements Chapter 5 Homework Windows 7 Homework](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649de95503460f94ae342b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Menu Driven Interface
![Page 20: Using System Software Chapter 5. Announcements Chapter 5 Homework Windows 7 Homework](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649de95503460f94ae342b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
![Page 21: Using System Software Chapter 5. Announcements Chapter 5 Homework Windows 7 Homework](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649de95503460f94ae342b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Processor Management
Controls the timing of events the processor works on Multitasking
Interrupts
Interrupt Handler
Interrupt Table
Stack
![Page 22: Using System Software Chapter 5. Announcements Chapter 5 Homework Windows 7 Homework](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649de95503460f94ae342b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Multitasking
The OS controls the execution of instructions on the CPU
Decides when each application is allowed to run and for how long Assigns each process a slice of time (time slice) and
switches between each process rapidly (measured in milliseconds).
The ability to do multiple things at once (or appear to do so) is called Multitasking.
![Page 23: Using System Software Chapter 5. Announcements Chapter 5 Homework Windows 7 Homework](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649de95503460f94ae342b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Interrupts
Some functions of the computer must be handled immediately Mouse
Keyboard
Audio
Printer
When an “Interrupt Request” is made by these devices, the CPU stops executing programs and takes care of the needs of the device
![Page 24: Using System Software Chapter 5. Announcements Chapter 5 Homework Windows 7 Homework](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649de95503460f94ae342b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Stack
Last In, First Out (LIFO)
Common sense analogy: A stack of paper
OSs and CPUs use stacks to remember how to get back to where it was after processing an interrupt
Stack Operations: Peek: Take a look at what is on top of the stack without
removing it
Pop: Remove and process the top item
Push: Place a new item on the stack
![Page 25: Using System Software Chapter 5. Announcements Chapter 5 Homework Windows 7 Homework](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649de95503460f94ae342b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
OS Architecture
32-bit Architecture Each instruction is up to 32 bits long
Each location in memory is exactly 32 bits long
Can use up to 4GB of RAM
64-bit Architecture Each instruction is up to 64 bits long
Each location in memory is exactly 64 bits long
Can use up to 512GB of RAM
Correction to book: Systems with more than 4GB of RAM feature a 64-bit version of
Windows
Systems with more than 4GB of RAM must use a 64-bit operating system to make use of extra memory.
![Page 26: Using System Software Chapter 5. Announcements Chapter 5 Homework Windows 7 Homework](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649de95503460f94ae342b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Random Access Memory (RAM)
RAM has limited capacity
Running multiple programs at one time requires more RAM
Operating System consumes RAM Windows Vista: 1.5GB
Windows 7: 1GB
Windows 8: 512MB (possible to use less)
![Page 27: Using System Software Chapter 5. Announcements Chapter 5 Homework Windows 7 Homework](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649de95503460f94ae342b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

System (BIOS) is activated
A Pre-Operating System Test (POST) checks attached hardware
The OS loads into RAM
Configuration and customization settings are checked

Handling Errors in the Boot Process
Safe Mode Windows does not boot properly
Try rebooting
Uninstall any new devices or software
Press F8 after the POST and before the Windows Logo appears. Can be tricky, sometimes helps to press repeatedly
until safe mode menu appears.
