Operating System
An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that
manages computer hardware resources and provides common
services for computer
programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system
software in a computer system. Application programs usually require
an operating system to function.
Time-sharing
operating systems, schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also
include accounting for cost allocation of processor time, mass storage,
printing, and other resources.
For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system
acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware,[1][2]
although the application code is usually executed directly by the hardware and
will frequently make a system call to an OS function or be interrupted
by it. Operating systems can be found on almost any device that contains a
computer—from cellular phones and video game consoles to supercomputers
and web servers.
Examples of popular modern operating systems include Android, BSD, iOS, GNU/Linux,
OS X,
QNX, Microsoft
Windows, Windows Phone, and IBM z/OS.
All these, except Windows and z/OS, share roots in UNIX.
