Operating Systems
Operating Systems manage computer hardware and software resources and provide services for computer programs. It is a vital component in the computing environment that facilitates communication between users and the hardware.
Key components of Operating Systems include:
- Process Management: Manages processes in the system, including scheduling and execution.
- Memory Management: Controls and coordinates memory allocation and deallocation.
- Storage Management: Manages file systems and storage devices.
- Security: Protects data and resources from unauthorized access.
- Device Management: Manages device communication via drivers.
Understanding the workings of Operating Systems is crucial for optimizing computing resources and ensuring efficient operation of software applications.
