-An operating system manages multiple applications on a smartphone by allowing them to run in parallel without direct knowledge of each other, ensuring that they can share hardware resources like the processor, memory, screen, and touchpad in a fair and harmonious manner.
What are the two main issues that arise when multiple applications are running on a smartphone?
-The two main issues are ensuring compatibility of applications with the hardware of various smartphones and managing the fair and harmonious sharing of hardware resources among the applications to prevent conflicts and ensure smooth operation.
Why is it important for applications to be developed for an operating system rather than specific hardware?
-Developing applications for an operating system rather than specific hardware allows software developers to create applications that are compatible with a wide range of devices, simplifying the development process and ensuring broader compatibility.
How does an operating system handle the prioritization of tasks on a smartphone?
-An operating system handles task prioritization by managing the allocation of resources and the execution order of applications, ensuring that high-priority tasks, such as an incoming phone call, can interrupt lower-priority tasks like music streaming.
What is the term used for software that acts as a middle layer between hardware and application software?
-The term used for software that acts as a middle layer between hardware and application software is 'middleware', and in the context of operating systems, it is referred to as an 'operating system' or 'OS'.
What role does the operating system play in the startup process of a computer system?
-The operating system plays a crucial role in the startup process by initializing the hardware, loading necessary system files, and preparing the environment for the execution of applications.
How does the operating system manage the memory of a computer?
-The operating system manages the memory of a computer by allocating and deallocating memory to processes, handling virtual memory, and ensuring that applications have the necessary resources to run efficiently without conflicting with each other.
What is the significance of the user interfaces presented by the operating system?
-User interfaces presented by the operating system are significant as they provide a means for users to interact with the computer, navigate the system, and execute commands in a user-friendly manner.
Why is it essential for an operating system to protect the hardware from unauthorized access by applications?
-It is essential for an operating system to protect the hardware from unauthorized access by applications to prevent system crashes, ensure security, and maintain the stability and integrity of the hardware and the overall system.
Outlines
💻 Introduction to Operating Systems
The script introduces the concept of operating systems (OS) by comparing them to the firmware of a digital oven. It explains that while a simple device like a digital oven may not require an OS, more complex devices like smartphones do. The smartphone example highlights how multiple applications from different developers need to interact with the device's hardware, such as the GPS, 4G, and screen, in a coordinated manner. The OS acts as a middleware that abstracts the hardware from the applications, allowing for standardized development and fair resource sharing among apps. It also ensures that applications can run concurrently without interfering with each other, like how an incoming phone call can interrupt music streaming.

l'objectif de ce premier chapitre est de
présenter les principes et le
fonctionnement d'un système
d'exploitation en général avant de
détailler dans le chapitre suivant les
processus puis les processus légers nous
commencerons par expliquer pourquoi on
installe un système d'exploitation sur
les machines nous présenterons un
système d'exploitation
la gestion des processus la gestion de
la mémoire la gestion des fichiers la
gestion des entrées sorties nous dirons
un mot sur le démarrage du système et
enfin Vania présentera les interfaces
utilisateurs
commençons par expliquer pourquoi nous
utilisons un système d'exploitation on
considère ici un four avec quelques
fonctions numériques affichage digital
bouton minuterie le système informatique
du four construit autour d'un micro
contrôleur li l'état des boutons
configure le timer affiche le temps
restant sur la ficheur et contrôle le
dispositif de chauffage on peut
envisager sereinement le programme
s'exécutant directement sur le micro
contrôleur pour assurer ses fonctions le
fabricant du four a certainement à la
fois conçu l'électronique et développer
le programme nul besoin de système
d'exploitation on parle de système berm
métal qu'on peut traduire par métal brut
intéressons-nous maintenant à un système
informatique plus complexe un smartphone
sur son trajet le propriétaire utilise
une application de navigation une
application de streaming et communique
par SMS de temps à autre il reçoit un
appel téléphonique sont donc actives sur
son téléphone les applications de
navigation GPS de streaming de musique
de communication par SMS et de réception
d'un appel téléphonique
ces applications ont été développées par
des entreprises différentes parfois
concurrentes et fonctionnent sur les
smartphones de différents fabricants et
même devront fonctionner sur les
smartphones pas encore conçu ces
applications utilisent les ressources
matérielles du smartphone tout utilise
le processeur la mémoire l'écran la
dalle tactile le haut-parleur est
utilisé principalement par l'application
de streaming mais doit transmettre
également les notifications des autres
applications
la réception GPS n'est utilisée que par
l'application de navigation alors que la
communication 4G achemine les données de
toutes notons enfin que l'appel
téléphonique est prioritaire sur les
autres applications
l'arrivée d'un appel doit interrompre le
streaming musical et les instructions
audio de la messagerie on retrouve ici
sous forme d'un schéma les interactions
entre les applications et les composants
matériels du smartphone de cette forêt
d'interactions ressortent deux
problématiques principales
premièrement comment faire en sorte que
les éditeurs de logiciels puissent
développer des applications compatibles
avec l'électronique de tous les
téléphones
deuxièmement comment faire en sorte que
les applications se partagent les
ressources matérielles de manière
équitable et cela de manière harmonieuse
en évitant que la navigation ne demande
de tourner à gauche lorsque l'on est au
téléphone ou que les différentes
applications écrivent en même temps au
même endroit sur l'écran
la solution est l'utilisation d'une
couche logicielle entre le matériel
hardware et les logiciels applicatifs le
software
cette couche se trouvant au milieu elle
fait partie des middleware on la nomme
système d'exploitation opérating system
ou os en anglais
en faisant l'intermédiaire entre les
applications le CPU les mémoires et les
périphériques matériels le système
d'exploitation offre des fonctionnalités
standardisées cette couche d'abstraction
permet aux éditeurs de logiciels de
développer pour un os et non pour un
matériel en allant les ressources
processeur et mémoires et en protégeant
l'écran d'accès des ordonné par les
applications le système d'exploitation
permet à celle-ci de fonctionner en
parallèle sans avoir connaissance les
unes des autres
