The Analyses of Operating System Structure

Abstract

Operating system controls the resources of the computer, and provides interfaces for users. The resource sharing calls for the multi-user support of the computer system. The system on one hand divides resources for different processes and on the other, let processes share the resources when necessary, which makes the structure of the operating system extremely complicated. This paper gives a study of the operating system structure through analyzing the components of the system: As to the software, it gives an analysis and a conclusion of the methods for the function of an operating system; as to the hardware, it studies the management of distributed hardware.
