Hello friends my name is Varish Tyagi and i am second year CSE undergrad so in this blog i provide you the information of complete operating system in 1 shot of 15:30 hour available on codehelp channel.
1. OS Booting Process:
This section explains how an operating system initializes and boots up. It covers the initial startup process, where the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) performs self-tests, initializes hardware, and loads the boot loader. The boot loader then loads the operating system kernel, which sets up the essential components and prepares the system for user interaction.
2. Process vs Threads:
Here, you'll learn about the distinction between processes and threads. A process is an instance of a program in execution, while a thread represents a unit of execution within a process. The video explores how processes and threads interact with the operating system, including their creation, termination, and synchronization.
3. Synchronization:
This topic delves into synchronization techniques used to ensure correct execution of concurrent processes. You'll learn about mutual exclusion, critical sections, and various synchronization mechanisms such as semaphores, mutexes, and monitors. The video also covers common synchronization problems like race conditions and solutions like locks and condition variables.
4. Process Scheduling:
Process scheduling algorithms are essential for efficient CPU utilization. This section explains different algorithms, such as First-Come, First-Served (FCFS), Round Robin, Shortest Job Next (SJN), and Priority Scheduling. The video discusses their advantages, disadvantages, and real-world applications.
5. Deadlocks:
Deadlocks occur when processes are unable to proceed because they are waiting for resources held by other processes. This section covers the causes of deadlocks, including the four necessary conditions: mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption, and circular wait. The video explains deadlock prevention, avoidance, detection, and recovery techniques.
6. File Management:
Operating systems handle file systems to organize, access, and secure data. This segment provides an overview of file systems, including directory structures, file operations (read, write, delete), and file access permissions. Topics like file allocation methods (e.g., contiguous, linked, indexed) and techniques for file system recovery are also covered.
7. Memory Management:
Memory management is crucial for efficient memory utilization. This part explores techniques like partitioning, segmentation, and paging. It covers memory allocation strategies, such as first-fit, best-fit, and worst-fit, along with their trade-offs. The concept of virtual memory and its benefits are explained.
8. 32-bit vs 64-bit:
This topic discusses the differences between 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. It covers the impact on memory addressing capabilities, the maximum amount of memory supported, and the compatibility of applications with different architectures. The video explains the advantages of transitioning to 64-bit systems for improved performance and expanded memory support.
9. Virtual Memory:
Virtual memory is a technique used by operating systems to provide the illusion of a large address space to programs. This section explores the concept of virtual memory, including demand paging, page tables, and page replacement algorithms like FIFO, LRU, and Optimal. The benefits of virtual memory, such as increased program size and protection, are discussed.
10. Paging:
Paging is a memory management technique that divides physical memory into fixed-size blocks called pages. This segment explains how paging allows for efficient memory allocation and swapping of pages between main memory and secondary storage. Topics covered include page tables, translation lookaside buffers (TLBs), and address translation.
11. Fragmentation:
Fragmentation can impact system performance by causing inefficient memory utilization. The video discusses two types of fragmentation: external fragmentation, which occurs when free memory is divided into small non-contiguous blocks, and internal fragmentation, which happens when allocated memory has unused space. Techniques to mitigate fragmentation, such as compaction and buddy systems, are explored
