1、The Operating System,Lesson One Summary of operating system,An operating system serves as an interface, bridging the gap between hardware and application software. Thus, as we move from hardware to software, its appropriate that we consider the operating system first.,serve 服务，供应 interface 界面 bridge
2、 n.桥；vt.架桥 gap n.缺口，缝隙 thus adv.因而，从而，如此 appropriate adj.适当的 consider vt.考虑，照顾，认为,What exactly dose an operating system do? Basically, it performs a number of support functions. exactly basically support,adv.正确地 严密地,adv.基本上 主要地,v.支持，维持 n.支持，支持者,If the application program is to be loaded, there must
3、be a program in memory to control the loading process. That program is the operating system. Typically, the operating system is stored on disk. This objective is achieved by a special program called a boot.,adv.代表性地,n.目标，目的 adj.客观的,v.完成，到达,Generally, the boot is stored on the first sector (or two) o
4、f a disk. Hardware is designed to read this sector automatically whenever the power is turned on. The boot consists of only a few instructions, but they are sufficient to read the rest of the operating system into memory; note how it is seemingly “pulled in by its own bootstraps”. Now, a user can ty
5、pe the commands to load and execute an application program.,generally sector designed automatically consists of instructions sufficient,rest note seemingly own type load execute,Loading programs is only one of the operating systems many support functions. Basically, it is a collection of software mo
6、dules that insulate the user from the hardware, thus making the system easier to use. Lets investigate the primary functions of a typical operating system.,collection n.收藏，搜集品 module n.模块 insulate vt.使绝缘，隔离 investigate v.调查，研究 primary adj.第一位的，主要的,The operating system is a collection of programs des
7、igned to manage the systems resources, namely, memory, processors, devices, and information (program and data).,n.资源，财力，办法，智谋,Memory Management Functions Keep track of the memory. What parts are in use and by whom? What parts are free? If multiprogramming, decide which process gets memory, when it g

9、the processors and the status of processes. Decide who will have a chance to use the processor. If multiprogramming, decide which process gets the processor, when and how much. Allocate the processor to process by setting up necessary hardware registers, this is often called the dispatcher. Reclaim
