Functions of an OS Platform-(03)

Operating System Functionality The operating system is a computer program that controls the hardware operation of the computer and the execution of the program. The main functions of the operating system are 1) managing and controlling computer hardware such as drivers, 2) interfacing between hardware and software, ie how programs and applications use hardware - Includes keyboard, mouse, monitor. 3) Memory management, ie multitasking, multiprocessing, threading 4) Application management and execution 5) Diagnosis of software and hardware problems 6) Storage devices and file management such as NTFS and Netware file system 7 ) Provide user interface additional function

(03/27) Gluon has created a platform for building interconnection vehicle networks that individuals and businesses can monitor, track, adjust, and diagnose problems. Through Gluon's platform, individuals and businesses can tie their cars and companies with manufacturers, parts suppliers, repair shops and other service providers in the network. Customers not only can diagnose the vehicle by themselves, order parts, but also not only request repair, but also arrange for repair, send and receive services, pay for the goods.

The technology industry certainly takes a different approach to automobiles. Consider building a hardware platform in the market and consider deploying it, frequently updating the operating system. The operating system allows developers to build thousands to millions of applications that bring new functionality to their users. We know that users want to improve products effectively over the long term through wireless updates. If you really need to change core hardware, change it quickly within 1 to 2 years usually.

You may oppose this being a lot of processing of complex software and a user interface challenge. Of course, but in comparison? Do you simulate the old operating system and its applications and build a new hardware platform? In addition to the toaster refrigerator, making the iPad a hybrid tablet laptop is not a change of 180 degrees, it is a natural evolution, a user's craving.

The OS is system software for controlling the operation of the entire computer system. It manages the connected hardware and provides an interface for the platform on which the application runs and the user to interact with the computer system. It is responsible for identifying and organizing storage devices, I / O devices, and processing devices. Figure 10.1 shows the roles of the OS in the computer system. The OS has two types of interfaces: a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line interface (CLI). The operating system responds and provides the service to the user.
