- 1FEATURES OF AN OPERATING SYSTEMScheduling
The task of handling how active processes are making efficient use of the CPU processing cycles is called scheduling. There are many ways of doing this, which is covered in another mini-website.
Memory Management
The operating system has to make sure that applications are able to run in the amount of memory available and that they do not interfere with one another. There is a separate mini-website on this topic.
Allocation of resources
The operating system will provide a working area for each user. This includes
Disk space quota for their files ( especially on shared network drives)
A personal GUI set up for each user (multi-user operating systems)
Perhaps how many processing cycles they are allowed to use (especially on mainframe)
How much printer output they are allowed (networked and mainframe)
How high a priority they can assign to a job (mainframe)
