    3rd year Computer Science

    Operating System Project Assignment (10 Points)


    1: Operating Systems: The Operating system acts as an interface between the user and the
    computer hardware. Discuss in detail the roles of the OS as a resource manager and as an
    extended machine on the following systems:

     Client,
     Server, and
     Mobile devices.

    Students may consider any of the OS for discussions, for instance Windows, Linux, iOS,
    MacOS, Android, etc. Further, the students must consider any five of the following
    features relevant to the systems for discussions.

     Support many devices simultaneously


     Allocate resource to different users
     Share resources among users fairly, efficiently, and safely
     Resolve conflict in resource demand
     Hides the implementation details
     Provide stable, portable, reliable, safe, well-behaved environment
     Manage memory, processor, file etc.
     Level of security it provides

    For instance, the students may opt the following to answer section 1.

    System Type OS for the system selected Features

    Client Windows Explain any 5 features

    Server Linux Explain any 5 features

    Mobile OS Android Explain any 5 features

    2: Operating System Administration using Command Line Interface (CLI)

    Refer to the man command to understand the syntax and parameters for the commands
    that you would be using in this section

    I. Demonstrate the following Unix/Linux commands in the lab and the screen shots of the
    execution in the same word file.
     How do you know if a remote host is alive or not?
     How do you find which process is taking how much CPU?
     How do you check how much space is left in current drive?
     How do you find whether your system is 32 bit or 64 bit?
     In a file word UNIX is appearing many times. How will you count the number of
    these occurrences?

    II. Type in the following commands and discuss the outputs you get after execution of
    the commands. Also, paste the screen shots of the output obtained in the same word file
    used for above question.

     % cat /etc/hosts cat?


     % echo "Home Directory Is home" uppercase $HOME?
     % who | wc
     % who > logged.users
     %date "+%m/%d/%y"
     %date "+%Y%m%d"
     %date +'%-4.4h %2.1d %H:%M'

    3. Discuses following point using the concepts of process and process management,
    memory management, device management and file management.

    1. Define virtual machine


    2. Define system boot
    3. Discuss process scheduling
    4. Define threading issues
    5. Explain thread scheduling
    6. Discuss Peterson’s solution
    7. Explain semaphores
    8. Explain file concept
    9. Define RAID
    10. Define disk management
    11. Explain deadlock detection and recovery
    12. Explain deadlock prevention and avoidance
    13. Explain memory management without swapping or paging
    14. Explain page replacement algorithms
    15. Explain application I/O interface
    16. Explain access matrix

    NB: Group work max 4 members, max 7 pages and submission date January 28, 2022.
