A technical preview of an Operating System

Operating System (OS):


An Operating system consists of a set of programs which controls, co-ordinates and supervises the activities of the various components of a computer system. Its function is to link between the computer hardware and the user.


An operating system is a software or a series of programmes, which performs various types of functions in order to manage and organize file so".


Objectives:

 There are lot of objectives of an operating system, actually it covers the birth of a perfect operating system. A user is just like a wanting animal they just want everything. But as a developer we are just tying to make our software more & more better as per user requests. These are some main objectives ------

  • To describe the basic organization of computer systems.
  • To provide a grand tour of the major components of operating systems.
  • Provide more convenient environment for users.
  • Provide maximum utilized performance to users as per hardware existance.


Computer Startup:

When a computer starts up there are lot of services and programs are executed in our systems. There is a main program named Bootstrap Program is loaded firstly when a system rebooted or power-up.

This Bootstrap program is typically stored in ROM or EPROM, it is generally known as firmware of a computer. After executing this program it initializes the all aspects of that system and then loads system kernal and then starts executing the operating system programs.


FIRMWARE:

A Firmware is data that is stored on a computer or other hardware device's ROM (read-only memory) that provides instruction on how that device should operate. Unlike normal software, firmware cannot be changed or deleted by an end-user without using special programs, and remains on that device whether it's on or off.


Some important functions of an Operating System:

  • Memory Management
  • Process Management
  • Device Management
  • File Management
  • Security
  • Control over System Performance
  • Job Accounting
  • Error Detection

why visiting darkweb is not too easy?

DARK WEB :       Today we will talk about Dark-Web ,   the Dark-Web is a WWW(World wide web) content that exists on the internet but we need specific software, system configurations or authorized access to see or make changes in this content. Dark-web is just a part of the internet where 90% of internet data is available right now. The Dark-Web contents are not shown by normal search engines like Google , Bing or other search engines.          The dark-web include small peer to peer and friend to friend networks, as well as large, popular networks such as Tor, Freenet etc. operated by public organizations and individuals.  Users of the dark web refer to the regular web as clean net due to its unencrypted nature. The Tor dark web or onion browsing uses the traffic anonymization technique of onion-routing in the network's top-level-domain suffix .onion REAL WORLD:  If we talk about real world scenarios ...

A Digital Computer

 A digital computer is a digital system that performs various computational tasks. The word "Digital" implies that the information in the computer is represented by variables that take a limited number of discrete values. These values are processed internally by components that can maintain a limited number of discrete states. These discrete values are taken by the decimal digits 0 to 9.  The first electronic digital systems was developed at 1940s late, it was primarily only used for some numerical computations.  As we all know a digital computer uses binary number system & it can only understand a binary number. And a binary number has only 2 digits 0 & 1 . Let me tell you one more interesting thing is that a binary digit is called "bit" here. That means if we use 0 it means its a bit, and vise versa.  In a digital computer all information is only represented in group of bits. After using various programming techniques & some algorithms, these grou...
