https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/OSManagement How an OS manages the hardware resources in order to provide for an orderly and controlled allocation of the hardware among the various processes competing for them. en-us 2016-02-24 09:54:29 UTC 2016-06-21 14:40:37 UTC hello@padlet.com Nicolauze https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/OSManagement/wish/96940874 This is a function of the OS that ensures that processes do not compete for resources by receiving a fair share of them.
There are 4 names given to the OS programs that each manage a specific resource:

Processor Scheduling - Processors
Memory Management - Storage
I/O Management - I/O devices
File Management - Data]]> 2016-02-24 10:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/OSManagement/wish/96940874 Nicolauze https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/OSManagement/wish/96946708 On most computers many processes will appear to be running when in fact (if there is only one processor) only one will actually be running at once. The OS does this by allocating processor time to each process.

Allocating processor time is done by the processor scheduling program of the OS and is hidden from the user and application programs.]]> 2016-02-24 10:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/OSManagement/wish/96946708 Nicolauze https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/OSManagement/wish/96947310 Another role of the operating system is to allocate space in the main memory to be used by processes when required.
The memory management program of the OS is responsible for keeping track of what parts of the main memory are being used by processes.]]> 2016-02-24 11:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/OSManagement/wish/96947310 Nicolauze https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/OSManagement/wish/96948921 2016-02-24 11:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/OSManagement/wish/96948921 Nicolauze https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/OSManagement/wish/115159584 [HOME]]]> 2016-06-21 14:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/OSManagement/wish/115159584
