Definition
An operating system is a program that acts as an interface between the user and the computer hardware and
controls the execution of all kinds of programs.

Following are some of important functions of an operating System.

Memory Management

Processor Management

Device Management

File Management

Security

Control over system performance

Job accounting

Error detecting aids

Coordination between other software and users

Memory Management
Memory management refers to management of Primary Memory or Main Memory. Main memory is a large array of
words or bytes where each word or byte has its own address.

Main memory provides a fast storage that can be access directly by the CPU. So for a program to be executed, it
must in the main memory. Operating System does the following activities for memory management.

Keeps tracks of primary memory i.e. what part of it are in use by whom, what part are not in use.

In multiprogramming, OS decides which process will get memory when and how much.

Allocates the memory when the process requests it to do so.

De-allocates the memory when the process no longer needs it or has been terminated.

Processor Management
In multiprogramming environment, OS decides which process gets the processor when and how much time. This
function is called process scheduling. Operating System does the following activities for processor management.

Keeps tracks of processor and status of process. Program responsible for this task is known as traffic controller.

Allocates the processor(CPU) to a process.

De-allocates processor when processor is no longer required.

Device Management
OS manages device communication via their respective drivers. Operating System does the following activities for
device management.

Keeps tracks of all devices. Program responsible for this task is known as the I/O controller.

Decides which process gets the device when and for how much time.

Allocates the device in the efficient way.

De-allocates devices.

File Management
A file system is normally organized into directories for easy navigation and usage. These directories may contain files
and other directions. Operating System does the following activities for file management.

Keeps track of information, location, uses, status etc. The collective facilities are often known as file system.

Decides who gets the resources.

Allocates the resources.

De-allocates the resources.

Other Important Activities

Following are some of the important activities that Operating System does.

Security -- By means of password and similar other techniques, preventing unauthorized access to programs and
data.
Control over system performance -- Recording delays between request for a service and response from the
system.
Job accounting -- Keeping track of time and resources used by various jobs and users.
Error detecting aids -- Production of dumps, traces, error messages and other debugging and error detecting aids.
Coordination between other softwares and users -- Coordination and assignment of compilers, interpreters,
assemblers and other software to the various users of the computer systems.
