Computer Applications Class IX Basics of Operating Systems (Chap 4) Device Driver A device driver is a group of files that enable one or more hardware devices to communicate with the computer’s operating system. Each hardware device installed on a computer requires a different type of device driver or hardware driver. The device driver provides specific instructions to the operating system in order for the hardware device to perform properly. Types of Operating Systems- 1. Single User OS- It supports only one user at any point of time. There can be two subcategories of this OS type: (i) Single Task OS- This OS supports single application at a time e.g., OS for mobiles, MS-DOS etc. (ii) Single User, Multitasking OS- This OS supports one user but can deal with multiple applications running at a time e.g. simultaneously running word document, a video, internet browsing, listening to music etc. Eg. Windows Vista, Windows 7/8, Linux, MacOS Leopard etc. 2. Multi program OS- It supports multi...

 Computer Applications Class IX Basics of Operating Systems (Chap 4) Operating Systems- Shell and Kernel Operating system has broadly two components: Shell and Kernel. v The shell part is responsible for interacting with the users and v The kernel part is responsible for interacting with hardware. The shell act as the interpreter which does these things: i. Get the commands/instructions from the user. ii. Translate the received commands / instructions into the machine language. iii. Pass the translated command to the Kernel to get it done. The Kernel is the core part of an operating system. It functions at a basic level, communicating with the actual hardware and managing resources, such as CPU and the memory. It works as an interface between the user applications and the hardware. Functions of operating system broadly fall into three categories- Essential functions, monitoring functions and service functions. Essential functions ensure effective utilization of computer system reso...

 Computer Applications Class IX Basics of Operating Systems (Chap 4) Worksheet 04 (chap 4) Aug 2020:- 1. Name any two popular operating systems? Ans1. Windows 7, Linux 2. What is operating system? Ans2. An operating system is a program, which acts as an interface between a user and the hardware (i.e. all computer resources). For eg. Windows 7, MS DOS etc. 3. Write the full forms- a. MS DOS- Microsoft Disk Operating System b. MAC OS- Macintosh Operating System 4. Describe any two roles of an operating system? Ans4. Two roles of an operating system are- 1. Program execution- The command interpreter is a part of any operating system. It receives the commands from any application or system program, interprets it and then executes it. 2. Providing user interface - A user interface refers to the way an operating system interacts with its users. An operating system has two parts: kernel and shell. The kernel is responsible for interacting with hardware and the shell is responsible for int...
