OS Examples Resource Manager
An Operating System is a collection of programs and utilities. It
acts as an interface between user and computer. It creates the
user-friendly environment.
Another main operating system function is resource management.
The operating system collects all the resources in the network
environment and allocates the resources to requesting process in
an ef cient manner.

Operating System Example
A user wants to copy a program from oppy disk to hard disk, the
user working with DOS(Disk Operating System), as the user has to

type command, that is C:Copy a: le name and press the enter key,
then the program will copyQUIZ
from oppy disk to hard disk.
So the user copies the program without using the operating
OPERAING SYSTEM
system, then the user has to write a program for copy command.
Then only the user can copy the program with the help of user-
written copy command, it is very NOTES
SHORT dif cult for users. So, the
operating system creates the user-friendly environment.
Operating System is Like a Government
In a next manner, the operating system is like a government, the
government collects the money from various services(Public,
Companies, Taxes etc) and distribute the money to different
development activities.
Same as the OS collects the resources from the network
environment as to a system, and grant the resources to requesting
jobs.
Operating System as a Resource Manager
A computer has many resources(Hardware and Software), which
may be required to complete a task. The commonly required
resources are Input/Output devices, Memory le storage space,
CPU(Central Processing Unit) time and so on.
The operating system acts as the manager of these resources and
allocates them to speci c programs and users as necessary for
their tasks. Therefore we can say an operating system is a

system.
When a number of computers connected through a network more

resource, then the operating system follow same order and

manner.
Generally, resources sharing in two ways "in time" and "in space".
When a resource is a time-sharing resource, rst one of the tasks

get the resource for some time, then another and so on.
For example, a CPU in the time-sharing system. In the time-
sharing system, OS xes the time slot for the CPU. First one of the
processes gets the CPU, when the time slot expires, the CPU
switch to the next process in the ready queue. In this example, the
CPU is a time resource. CPU Scheduling in Operating System
The other kind of sharing is the "space sharing". In this method,
the users share the space of resource. For example, the main
memory consisting of several processes at a time, so the process
of sharing the resources.
The main difference between "in time" sharing resources and "in
space" sharing resources is "in time" resources are not divided into
units, whereas "in space" sharing resources are divided into units.
I hope you have cleared about the Operating System concepts.
