                                               WHAT IS OPERATING SYSTEM



An operating system is a program that manages the computer hardware, It also provides a basis for application programs and acts as an interface between a user of a computer hardware 



1) HARDWARE. 
2) THE OPERATING SYSTEM.
3)THE APPLICATION PROGRAMS.
4)THE USERS.


HARDWARE:

The central processing Unit (CPU) memory and Input/output devices constitute the basic hardware and provide the basic computing resources.


OPERATING SYSTEM:

It controls and coordinates use of hardware among various applications and users it assigns different jobs to the hardware parts while running a program and get it done from them. It is mediator between computer hardware and software.


APPLICATION PROGRAMS: 

They define ways in which the system resources are used to solve the computing problems of the users. Ex. word processors, compilers, web browsers video games etc. application are ready made packages ready to use


USERS:

Users are people, machines other computers. four major of components of computer system.

Microprocessor Characteristics

 MICROPROCESSOR THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MICROPROCESSOR  1. N-bit processor: A processor is n-bit processor implies that (a) Its ALU is n-bit,i.e. the ALU can perform n-bit operation simultaneously. (b) Its internal data bus and register size is n-bit (c) Its external data bus is also n-bit 2. processing capability :It depends upon the number of instructions and flexibility of each instruction. 3. word length: It depends upon the width of internal data bus, registers , ALU etc. 4. clock frequency: the processing speed of microprocessor depends upon clock frequency. 5. Width of the data bus: this parameter decides word length of the microcomputer. this is the width of the external data bus. 6. Width of the address bus: This parameter decides the memory addressing capability of the microprocessor. 7. I/O addressing capability: The maximum number of the I/O ports accessed by the microprocessor depends upon the width of the I/O address provide in the ...
