User mode and kernel mode

• A processor in a computer running Windows has two


different modes: user mode and kernel mode.
• The processor switches between the two modes
depending on what type of code is running on the
processor.
• Applications run in user mode, and core operating
system components run in kernel mode. While many
drivers run in kernel mode, some drivers may run in
user mode.

Modules

 Most modern operating systems implement kernel


modules
• Uses object-oriented approach
• Each core component is separate
• Each talks to the others over known interfaces
• Each is loadable as needed within the kernel
 Overall, similar to layers but with more flexible

Solaris Modular Approach

BITS Pilani, K K Birla Goa Campus


Virtual Machines

• In computing, a virtual machine (VM) is an emulation of a


computer system. Virtual machines are based on computer
architectures and provide functionality of a physical
computer. Their implementations may involve specialized
hardware, software, or a combination.

BITS Pilani, K K Birla Goa Campus


Virtual Machines

• A virtual machine takes the layered approach to its logical


conclusion. It treats hardware and the operating system kernel as
though they were all hardware
• A virtual machine provides an interface identical to the
underlying bare hardware
• The operating system host creates the illusion that a process has
its own processor and (virtual memory)
• Each guest provided with a (virtual) copy of underlying computer

Operating System Generation

• Operating systems are designed to run on any of a class of


machines; the system must be configured for each specific
computer site
• SYSGEN program obtains information concerning the
specific configuration of the hardware system
• Booting – starting a computer by loading the kernel
• Bootstrap program – code stored in ROM that is able to
locate the kernel, load it into memory, and start its execution
