Contemporary Operating Systems and Structures
The operating system acts as a translator in the
computer. It converts binary language and values into programming languages
understandable to the user. Every part of an operating system is
interconnected, with its own functionality and just as important as the next.Through the user interface the operating system
is able to execute programs, manage I/O operations, manage file systems, handle
program errors and detection, allocate resources, accounting as well as
security and protection. The diagram below shows a detailed description of each
component of the system. Major functions of an
operating system are; management of computer resources which includes memory,
printers and the CPU, that manages a variety of resources; establishment of
user interface such as a graphic user interface that gives easy access to an
app by clicking on an icon, and execution of application software gives the
ability to run an app through location and loading into a primary memory
storage.
