This internal information is separated from the process, because the operating system has information not permitted to the process. The context includes all of the information that the t he operating system needs to manage the process and that the processor needs to execute the process properly.

The context includes the contents of the various v arious processor registers, such as the program counter and data registers. Automatic allocation and management: Programs should be dynamically allocated across the memory hierarchy as required. Allocation should be transparent to the programmer. Thus, the programmer is relieved of concerns relating to memory limitations, and the operating system can achieve efficiency by assigning memory to jobs only as needed.

Support of modular programming: Programmers should be able to define program modules, and a nd to create, destroy, and alter the size of modules dynamically. Protection and access control: Sharing of memory, at any level of the memory hierarchy, creates the potential for one program to address the memory space of another.

This is desirable when sharing is needed by particular applications. At other times, it threatens the integrity of programs and even of the operating system itself.

The operating system must allow portions of memory to be accessible in various ways by various users. Long-term storage: Many application programs require means for storing information for extended periods of time, after the computer c omputer has been powered down.

That location is on disk and at some times in main memory. A real address is an address in main memory. A process that cannot proceed because it is waiting wa iting for some event e. All the functional components of the kernel have access to all of its internal data structures and routines.

Typically, a monolithic kernel is implemented as a single s ingle process, with all elements sharing the same address space. A microkernel is a small privileged operating system core that provides process scheduling, memory me mory management, and communication services and relies on other processes to perform some of the functions traditionally associated with w ith the operating system kernel.

However, if a processor-bound process is denied processor time for a sufficiently long period of time, the same algorithm will grant the processor to that process since it has not used the processor at all in the recent past.

Therefore, a processorbound process will not be permanently denied access. Time-slicing is preferred because it gives all processes access to the processor over a short period of time. In a batch system, the concern is with throughput, and the less context switching, the more processing time is available for the processes.

Therefore, policies that minimize context switching are favored. Typically, the system call results in transfer to a system program that runs in i n kernel mode. By reducing the number of active jobs allowed on the system, this average can be kept high.

A typical guideline is that this average should be kept above 2 minutes. This may seem like a lot, but it isn't. Because one of the drives allocated a llocated to each process can be idle most of the time, at most 5 drives will be idle at a time. In the best case, none of the drives will be idle. To improve drive utilization, each process can be initially allocated with three tape drives.

The fourth one will be allocated on demand. The minimum number of idle drives driv es is 0 and the maximum number is 2. See Table 3. Ready: A process that is prepared to execute when given the opportunity. New: A process that has just been created but has not yet been admitted to the pool of executable processes by the operating system.

Exit: A process that has been released from the pool of executable processes by the operating system, either because it halted or because it aborted a borted for some reason. When none of the processes in main memory is in the Ready state, the operating system swaps one of the blocked processes out onto disk into a suspend queue, so that another process may be brought into main memory to execute.

The process is not immediately available for execution. The process may or may not be waiting on an event. If it is, this blocked condition is independent of the suspend condition, and occurrence of the blocking event does not enable the process to be executed. The process was placed in a suspended state by an agent; either itself, a Note: a number of the files related to the projects are at an instructor support folder ISF at box.

It aims to strike a balance between giving students experience in working on a real operating system, and potentially overwhelming students with the complexity that exists in a fully-fledged operating system, such as Linux. The source code distribution contains a full operating system syste m source tree, including the kernel, libraries, various utilities ls, cat,.

It also features simplified hardware devices hooked up to the system bus. These devices are much simpler than real hardware, and thus make it feasible for students to get their hands dirty without having to deal with the typical level of complexity of physical hardware. Using a simulator has several advantages: Unlike other software students write, buggy OS software may result in completely locking up the machine, making it difficult to debug and requiring a reboot.
