* Operating systems timeline

Operating systems and programs using the customary binary prefixes show this as 9. 5625 MB.

Operating systems such as Microsoft Windows that display hard drive sizes using the customary binary prefix " GB " ( as it is used for RAM ) would display this as 279. 4 GB ( meaning 279. 4 × 1024 < sup > 3 </ sup >, or 279. 4 ×).

Operating systems and executive software, designed to supersede this basic firmware functionality, provide replacement software interfaces to applications.

Operating systems include many standard Software libraries, and applications are often distributed with their own libraries.

Operating systems may adopt one of many different scheduling strategies, which generally fall into the following categories:

Though typically accessed by a DBMS through the underlying Operating system ( and often utilizing the operating systems ' File systems as intermediates for storage layout ), storage properties and configuration setting are extremely important for the efficient operation of the DBMS, and thus are closely maintained by database administrators.

Disk Operating System ( specifically ) and disk operating system ( generically ), most often abbreviated as DOS, refer to an operating system software used in most computers that provides the abstraction and management of secondary storage devices and the information on them ( e. g., file systems for organizing files of all sorts ).

Mature versions of the Commodore, SWTPC, Atari and Apple home computer systems all featured a disk operating system ( actually called ' DOS ' in the case of the Commodore 64 ( CBM DOS ), Atari 800 ( Atari DOS ), and Apple II machines ( Apple DOS )), as did ( at the other end of the hardware spectrum, and much earlier ) IBM's System / 360, 370 and ( later ) 390 series of mainframes ( e. g., DOS / 360: Disk Operating System / 360 and DOS / VSE: Disk Operating System / Virtual Storage Extended ).

Though typically accessed by a DBMS through the underlying Operating system ( and often utilizing the operating systems ' File systems as intermediates for storage layout ), storage properties and configuration setting are extremely important for the efficient operation of the DBMS, and thus are closely maintained by database administrators.

Operating systems that supported Alpha included OpenVMS ( previously known as OpenVMS AXP ), Tru64 UNIX ( previously known as DEC OSF / 1 AXP and Digital UNIX ), Windows NT ( until 4. 0 SP6 and Windows 2000 RC1 ), GNU / Linux ( Debian GNU / Linux, Gentoo Linux and Red Hat Linux ), BSD UNIX ( NetBSD, OpenBSD and FreeBSD up to 6. x ), as well as the L4Ka :: Pistachio kernel.

Operating systems for the System / 360 family included OS / 360 ( with PCP, MFT, and MVT ), BOS / 360, TOS / 360, and DOS / 360.

Operating systems ported to the architecture include SGI's IRIX, Microsoft's Windows NT ( until v4. 0 ), Windows CE, Linux, BSD, UNIX System V, SINIX, QNX, and MIPS Computer Systems ' own RISC / os.

Operating systems can be found on almost any device that contains a computer — from cellular phones and video game consoles to supercomputers and web servers.

POSIX ( ), an acronym for " Portable Operating System Interface ", is a family of standards specified by the IEEE for maintaining compatibility between operating systems.

In 1919, shortly after the Morkrum company obtained their patent for a start-stop synchronizing method for code telegraph systems, which made possible the practical teleprinter, Kleinschmidt filed an application titled " Method of and Apparatus for Operating Printing Telegraphs " which included an improved start-stop method.

Operating systems have memory areas that are pinned ( never swapped to secondary storage ).

Even though each 1541 had its own on board disk controller and disk operating system, it was not possible for a user to command two 1541 drives to copy a disk ( one drive reading and the other writing ) as with older dual drives like the 4040 and 8050 that were often found with the PET computer, and which the 1541 was backward compatible to ( it could read 4040 disks but not write to them since its internal Operating System was essentially the same ).

Whereas the vocoder analyzes speech, transforms it into electronically transmitted information, and recreates it, The Voder ( from Voice Operating Demonstrator ) generates synthesized speech by means of a console with fifteen touch-sensitive keys and a pedal, basically consisting of the " second half " of the vocoder, but with manual filter controls, needing a highly trained operator.

A Commentary on the Unix Operating System starts with notes on Unix and other useful documentation ( the Unix manual pages, DEC hardware manuals and so on ), a section on the architecture of the PDP-11 and a chapter on how to read C programs.

As Tanenbaum said in Operating Systems ( 1987 ): " When AT & T released Version 7, it began to realize that UNIX was a valuable commercial product, so it issued Version 7 with a license that prohibited the source code from being studied in courses, in order to avoid endangering its status as a trade secret.

It was paired with the OS-9 Operating system, also from Microware and took advantage of several OS-9 features ( e. g., shared memory, module loading and unloading, etc.

Operating room staff must wear sterile attire ( scrubs, a scrub cap, a sterile surgical gown, sterile latex or non-latex polymer gloves and a surgical mask ), and they must scrub hands and arms with an approved disinfectant agent before each procedure.

These machines ran some form of DOS ( Disk Operating System ) and their BIOS provided very poor support for serial communications — so poor that it fell far short of the needs of any non-trivial communications task.

Operating systems that use the X Window System for graphics use ICC profiles, and support for color management on Linux, still less mature than on other platforms, is coordinated through OpenICC at freedesktop. org and makes use of LittleCMS.

Operating systems that don't support MRW natively ( notably Windows XP and prior versions ) need third-party software to read and write MRW-formatted discs, and these tend to be the same packet writing utilities which allow native UDF filesystems to be written to optical media.

* Main Operating Base, an overseas, permanently manned, well protected base, used to support permanently deployed forces, and with robust sea and / or air access
