Demand Paging In Operating System

Theallicient 0 Operating System 15:22

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Demand paging is a form of virtual memory, where a page of memory will be paged in if a program tries to access it and the page is not already in the main memory. Therefore, demand paging only loads pages that should be brought into real memory during the execution process, it does not need to swap all the memory for a process from the secondary memory to the main memory during the program start up. The advantage of this process is that, only pages that are needed during the execution process are loaded, so there is more space in the main memory and therefore more processes can be loaded, reducing context switching time, which normally uses up a large amount of memory resources. However, demand paging means that programs can face extra latency when they attempt to access a page for the first time, this process may also be vulnerable to possible security risks such as timing attacks. Demand paging process; 1.Program attempts to find a page. 2.If the page is located in the main memory then the program runs as normal. 3.If the page cannot be located then what is known as a page-fault trap occurs. 4.Then the memory reference is checked to determine it is a valid reference to a location on secondary memory, if it is then the page will have to be paged in. 5.The desired page is scheduled to be read into main memory. 6.This operation is restarted at the point before the page-fault trap occurs. (Steps 1 & 2). 7.The program can now access the desired page in the main memory. </div>

RAID levels In Operating System

Theallicient 0 Operating System 15:21

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
RAID (redundant array of independent disks; originally redundant array of inexpensive disks) is a way of storing the same data in different places (thus, redundantly) on multiple hard disks. By placing data on multiple disks, I/O (input/output) operations can overlap in a balanced way, improving performance. Since multiple disks increases the mean time between failures (MTBF), storing data redundantly also increases fault tolerance. TABLE OF CONTENTS: RAID level 0: Striping RAID level 1: Mirroring and performance improvements RAID level 3: Byte-level parity RAID level 4: Block-level parity RAID level 5: Rotating parity RAID level 6: Tolerates failure of two disk drives RAID 0 Technically speaking RAID 0 is not a RAID level, but it is customarily viewed as RAID. Let’s say that you have three disk drives. Instead of writing everything on the first disk drive, you split the data up. So the first chunk of that file would be placed on disk one, the next chunk would be placed on disk two and the final chunk would be placed on disk three. You would then repeatedly rotate around that until the file is actually included on the correct array. You should think of RAID 0 as striping. Essentially, you have broken the file data down into pieces and placed them in the first, second and third arrays until they land in the correct array. Instead of reading the data from one disk drive, you now read the data parallel from all disk drives and then you combine the data on the other end. Essentially, you end up getting the performance of three disk drives and therefore the access of that file is vastly improved. This is classic striping. So the performance factor in RAID 0 improves because you have three disk drives pumping data back at you. There is also no impact on the availability of the data. If one of those three disk drives dies, your whole file is ruined because you do not have any coherent, consistent data, you have a chunk missing. RAID 1 RAID 1, also known as mirroring, is essentially where you have two disk drives and whatever you put on disk one, you simultaneously put on disk two. The idea is that if one of those two disks dies, then you have the other disk that is still working and therefore you achieve data availability improvements. You can also achieve performance improvements with RAID 1. When everything is functioning correctly — both of the disk drives are spinning, behaving properly and you’re reading data from both disk drives — you’re read performance will improve double for all practical purposes. There is a performance improvement in the situation of read, but not in terms if write. You also achieve extra availability of your data, because if one disk drive dies, you can access your information from the other disk drive. RAID 3 RAID 3 is the process of gaining up a certain number of disk drives, with the minimum number of drives being three. For this particular example, we’ll use five disk drives. Four of those disk drives would be data disks drives and the fifth would actually be a parity disk drive. The idea is that you have striped the data on the first four disk drives and then you calculate a parity from those drives to be placed on the fifth disk drive. In this type of situation, if any of those single disk drives fail, you can actually re-create that information by using the other four disk drives that are still working. So RAID 3 is very common in large, sequential workloads, such as video files. You want to be able to read a video file very quickly and you want to keep going from one end to the other. Very often, video files prefer to use RAID 3; you lock the first four drives in the example and just start extracting information from those drives in a rapid fashion. Performance and availability both improve greatly because any one of those five disk drives can die, but your data will still be safe. RAID 4 RAID 4 is very similar to RAID 3 in that a parity disk drive is always one of the five associated disk drives. But the difference is instead of doing the parity at the byte level, in RAID 4, the parity is done at the block level. The difference between RAID 3 and RAID 4 is very minor, and is only really applicable when you start looking at the finer art of RAID systems. Beyond performing parity at the byte level, the amount of data that is considered a chunk also differentiates RAID 4 from RAID 3. RAID 5 RAID 5 is very similar to RAID 3 and is probably the most popular level of the technology. In RAID five, the last disk drive is not the only drive that contains parity data in the array. In RAID 5, you rotate the parity in the five disk drives. So the first array may contain four drives of data and then one drive of parity, then the next array would contain three disks of data and then two disks of parity. In essence, parity is moved around in a round robin-type fashion. All five disk drives have a combination of data and parity. Again, if a single disk drive in that pairing dies, you can re-create that information from the remaining four disk drives. So you can tolerate a single disk drive failure, which improves the availability of data. This also improves performance because you are striping the data on the other four disk drives. RAID 6 RAID 6 is similar to RAID 5 in terms of striping and parity, with the major difference being that RAID 6 can tolerate two disk drives failing. In RAID 6, up to two disk drives can die and you can still have an efficient level of data availability. - See more at: http://localhost:81/test/raid-levels-in-operating-system/#sthash.oN65zYyb.dpuf</div>

Distributed Operating System & Parallel operating systems

Theallicient 0 Operating System 15:20

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Distributed Operating System:- It is a model where distributed applications are running on multiple computers linked by communications. A distributed operating system is an extension of the network operating system that supports higher levels of communication and integration of the machines on the network. This system looks to its users like an ordinary centralized operating system but runs on multiple, independent central processing units (CPUs).                              <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3abUPLSCZtvpPedxQpGI6OmaGX1o2jnjrmDihPV7rk5_WEmlG09OVDt8DcgVolBlaEdc9J6qUNKb4Af61BLK2qhHOlTJYldQdqc9koPt-R0E4FEoCKJxYDlCtjzfTd-qoj8yU7M49Fy-L/s1600/Node_Organization-Distributed_Model@allicient.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3abUPLSCZtvpPedxQpGI6OmaGX1o2jnjrmDihPV7rk5_WEmlG09OVDt8DcgVolBlaEdc9J6qUNKb4Af61BLK2qhHOlTJYldQdqc9koPt-R0E4FEoCKJxYDlCtjzfTd-qoj8yU7M49Fy-L/s1600/Node_Organization-Distributed_Model@allicient.png" width="400" /></a> These systems are referred as loosely coupled systems where each processor has its own local memory and processors communicate with one another through various communication lines, such as high speed buses or telephone lines. By loosely coupled systems, we mean that such computers possess no hardware connections at the CPU – memory bus level, but are connected by external interfaces that run under the control of software. Parallel operating systems :- Parallel operating systems are used to interface multiple networked computers to complete tasks in parallel. The architecture of the software is often a UNIX-based platform, which allows it to coordinate distributed loads between multiple computers in a network. Parallel operating systems are able to use software to manage all of the different resources of the computers running in parallel, such as memory, caches, storage space, and processing power. Parallel operating systems also allow a user to directly interface with all of the computers in the network. A parallel operating system works by dividing sets of calculations into smaller parts and distributing them between the machines on a network. To facilitate communication between the processor cores and memory arrays, routing software has to either share its memory by assigning the same address space to all of the networked computers, or distribute its memory by assigning a different address space to each processing core. Sharing memory allows the operating system to run very quickly, but it is usually not as powerful. When using distributed shared memory, processors have access to both their own local memory and the memory of other processors; this distribution may slow the operating system, but it is often more flexible and efficient.</div>

Just follow the following Steps: 
 
1.Select any file or folder. 
 
2.Right click on it, press rename or simply press F2. 
 
3.Press and hold the alt key. While holding the Alt key, type numbers 0160 from the numpad. 
 
Note: Type the numbers 0160 from the numpad, that is, the numbers present on the right side of the keyboard. Don’t type the numbers which are present on top of the character keys. 
 
4.Press Enter and the nameless file or folder will be created. 
 
Reason: The file or folder that seems nameless is actually named with a single space. 
 
But what if you want to create another nameless file or folder in the same directory ? 
 
For this you will have to rename the file with 2 spaces. Just follow these steps below: 
 
1.Select file, press F2. 
 
2.Hold alt key and type 0160 from the numpad. 
 
3.Release the alt key. Now without doing anything else, again hold alt key and press 0160. 
 
4.Press enter and you will have second nameless file in the same directory.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;">Microsoft only unveiled Windows 10 to the world yesterday, but you can already download a preview version of the new operating system today. The Windows 10 Technical Preview is designed for enthusiasts, developers, and enterprise customers to evaluate the latest changes to Windows. Microsoft has created a special insiders program to deliver regular updates throughout the Windows 10 development cycle, and those who sign up will get the very latest software to test.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It’s an unusual move for Microsoft, but one that it plans to capitalize on by looking closely at feedback from those who opt to install the early version of Windows 10. Microsoft is releasing Windows 10 Technical Preview as an ISO download, meaning you can install it in a virtual machine, clean install the OS on a spare machine, or even attempt to upgrade your existing Windows 8.1 installation. It’s a very early build of Windows 10 so there will be bugs, but if you’re interested in testing the very latest version of Windows then Microsoft’s preview site has all the details for downloading and installing Windows 10.</div>
