Operating
System
IGCSE Computer Science
History
• Computer used to run only one
program at a time
• Program (written in punch card)
needs to be inserted one by one
into the computer manually
• This approach slows down
computation
• It is also difficult to integrate a
hardware (input and output
devices) with the computer
• We need a way in which program
can operate automatically
• This leads to the creation of
operating system
History

62,500 punch cards

Imagine inserting these
program one by one
into the computer...
About the Operating System
• It is a system software
• OS has the privilege of managing other
programs
• It is the first program to be launched (by
the BIOS) when a computer is turned on
• OS is an intermediaries between software
programs and hardware peripherals
(Driver)
• Stored within the SSD/HDD, loaded into
RAM when a particular action needs to be
carried out

Sharing hardware resources • Resources are allocated to a process for a

specific time limit
• Each of the processes will share the • The process can be interrupted while it is

• The process is given a priority so it can have

here is that a low priority process could be
starved of resources)

Hardware Peripheral
Management

Meaning of peripheral devices Roles of the OS: Carry out Hardware Management

• Use device driver

⚬ Communicates with all input and
output devices
⚬ Take data from a file (defined by the
operating system) and translates it into
a format that the input/output device
can understand
• Ensures each hardware resource has a
priority so that they can be used and
released as required
HCI MM MT HPM UAM

User Account
Management

A computer can have more than one user to

log into the account. Eg.
It is therefore
important that users’
data is stored in
separate parts of the
memory for security
reasons.
HCI MM MT HPM UAM

User Account
Management

Role of an administrator

• Oversees the management of these user

accounts
• The administrator can create accounts, delete
user accounts and restrict user account
activity (create, edit and delete file)
HCI MM MT HPM UAM FM

File management

Main tasks of file management include:

• file naming conventions which can be used
i.e. filename.docx (where the extension can
be .bat, .htm, .dbf, .txt, .xls, etc.)
• performing specific tasks (for example, create,
open, close, delete, rename, copy, and move)

Security Management
- covered more in depth in chapter 5

Main tasks of security management include:

• Ensures that anti virus software (and other security software) is always up to
date, preserving the integrity, security and privacy of data
• Maintains access rights for all users
• Communicates with a firewall to check all traffic to and from the computer
• By offering the ability for the recovery of data when it has been lost or
corrupted (eg. Apple Time Machine)

• Interpreter (Python)
• Compiler (C)
• Assembler (Assembly Language)

Main functions

• Translate codes written in various programming

languages to binary.
• Report errors in the code to the programmer.
Interpreter
• Interpret the code line by line in a program
• Interpreter stop the execution of the code when it
detects an error (Compiler waits until the end of the
execution process before reporting errors)
• Will not produce an executable file at the end of the
process

Python Javascript
Interpreter

Python

Code is interpreted line by line

Compiler
• Translates an entire program written in a high- level language (HLL) into
machine code all in one go so that it can be directly used by a computer to
perform a required task. An executable file will be produced

Compile

Running the
compiled code
C Programming Language
Compiler
• Translates an entire program written in a high- level language (HLL) into
machine code all in one go so that it can be directly used by a computer to
perform a required task. An executable file will be produced
• A report of errors is produced at the end of the translation

Compile

C Programming Language
Compiler
• Translates an entire program written in a high- level language (HLL) into
machine code all in one go so that it can be directly used by a computer to
perform a required task. An executable file will be produced
• A report of errors is produced at the end of the translation
• Once a program is compiled the machine code can be used again and again
to perform the same task without re-compilation

Compile

Running the
compiled code
C Programming Language
Assembler
• Translate a program written in an assembly language into machine code
• Once a program is assembled the machine code can be used again and again
to perform the same task without re-assembly.

Interpreter Compiler
Easier for beginners as errors are A compiled program is
easily identified executed in a shorter time

Easier and quicker to debug and

test programs during
It takes a longer time to
development
write, test and debug
programs during
development
Programs can take longer to
execute

Environment (IDE)
Integrated Development
Environment (IDE)
• An IDE is an application that
programmers use to test
and develop new software
• An IDE allows a programmer
to write code in various
programming language and
smulate the running of the
code
• Eg. PythonIDE, Sublime
Text, Visual Studio Code,
Pycharm
