1.
BOOTING
Booting is the process of loading an
operating system into a computer’s main
memory.
This loading is done by program BIOS
(basic input/output system) stored
permanently in ROM.Boot program
obtain the operating system which is
stored on hard disk, load it into
computer main memory. where it
remains until you turn the computer off.
12

TYPES OF BOOT

COLD BOOT
When you power up a computer by turning on
the power “on” switch this is called cold boot.

WARM BOOT
if your computer is already on and you restart it,
this is called a warm boot. pressing restart key
or Ctrl+Alt+Del.
13
2.
MEMORY MANAGEMENT
The operating system also manages
memory. It swap data or program
between main memory and secondary
memory such as hard disk.
swap in mean movement of data from
hard disk to RAM.
Swap out mean movement of data from
RAM to hard disk.
14
3.
CPU MANAGEMENT
CPU (central processing unit) is
controlled by supervisor or kernel.
kernel is brain of operating system or
central component of operating system.
it remains in main memory. It control
working of cpu.
15
4.
FILE MANAGEMENT
File is collection of data which is stored
in hard disk.
Example of data files are word
files,images,songs etc.if you
move,rename,copy or delete file the
operating system manages such
changes.
16
5.
TASK MANAGEMENT
Task is an operation such as
storing,printing,or calculating etc.
computer perform many tasks at once,
like word processing
,database,spreadsheet,songs etc.All are
handled by operating system.
Other task managements are
17

MULTITASKING
Multi-tasking is the execution of two or more
than two programs by one user at the same time
on the same computer with one central
processor.

MULTIPROGRAMMING
Multiprogramming is the execution of two or
more than two programs by more than one user
on a single computer.
18

MULTIPROCESSING.
when one user at the same time using two
or more than two processor. such
systems are called fault tolerance, if one
CPU fails other will work. multiprocessing
is managed by operating system
19
6.
SECURITY MANAGMENT
Operating system allows user to use
user name and password. when you
boot your system each time you have to
give user name and password.
20
2.
DRIVER
The type of system software require to
run peripheral devices such as mouse
,keyboard,floppy disk, CD-ROM Modem,
Printer ,etc.
This type of software is called device
Driver. when you purchase a hardware
device, you also receive a disk
containing a device driver.
21
3.
TRANSLATOR
it is system software to convert program
into machine language. As machine
language is only language that computer
can recognize and act on directly. when
we write program it is in high level
language it is converted into machine
language by translator.
22
TYPES OF TRANSLATOR

INTERPRETER

COMPILER

ASSEMBLER
23

INTERPRETER
An interpreter is a language translator
program that converts each high level
language code into machine language and
execute it immediately, statement by
statement. Interpreter is slower than
compiler. BASIC language use
interpreter.
24

COMPILER
A compiler is language translator program
that converts the entire program
of high level language into machine
language form. the programming
instruction is called source code .the
compiler translate it into machine
language which is then called object
code.
25

ASSEMBLER
An assembler is a program that translate
the assembly language program into
machine language.
like 10101010101
26
4.
LANGUAGE
A Computer language is a mean of
communication between the user and
computer. A computer language is set of
instructions. to make programs these
instruction are written under some rules.


MACHINE LANGUAGE
Machine language is low level programming
language. It is the basic language of
computer ,representing data as 1s and 0s.
example: program written in this form
11100110 0110011 1101.
ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE
Assembly language is a Intermediate level
programming language that allows
programmer to write a program using
abbreviation or more easily remembered
words instead of number.
28

HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE
A high level language is nearest to human
language such as English. high level
language is easy from user point of view. For
high level languages translators are needed
to convert it into machine language. it is
much easier to develop software's in high
level language.
Examples
BASIC,FORTRAN,
COBOL, C,C++,PASCAL,JAVA etc.
