Operating System Architecture Kernel It is the core of the operating system Responsible for managing system resources It has two modes of operation: User mode: restricted access to system resources Kernel mode: full access to system resources Operating system layers Divide system functionalities into modules Facilitate system development and maintenance Examples of layers: Process Management Memory Management Input and output device management Monolithic Operating Systems The entire operating system runs in kernel mode All functionality is in a single executable Example: Linux Microkernel Operating Systems Only the most basic features are in kernel mode The other functionalities run as user-mode processes Example: QNX Hybrid Operating Systems Combine aspects of monolithic systems and microkernels Some functionality runs in kernel mode and others in user mode Example: Windows NT Virtualization Allows a single piece of hardware to run multiple operating systems Each operating system runs in a virtual machine Examples of virtualization solutions: VMware VirtualBox Hyper-V --auto --s2
