Goals of System Software
Efficient Use:
➢ System software must efficiently use fundamental computer
resources like CPU, Memory, Disks and other I/O Devices.
➢
24
Goals of System Software
Efficient Use:
➢ System software must efficiently use fundamental computer
resources like CPU, Memory, Disks and other I/O Devices.
➢ Poor efficiency can occur if a program does not use the
resource allocated to it which further results in snowballing
effect.

25

Efficient Use:
➢ System software must efficiently use fundamental computer
resources like CPU, Memory, Disks and other I/O Devices.
➢ Poor efficiency can occur if a program does not use the
resource allocated to it which further results in snowballing
effect.
➢ Snowballing Effect:- If the resource is allocated to a user, it is
denied to other programs that need it. These programs can’t
execute and hence the resources allocated to them also remains
idle

➢ Snowballing Effect:- If the resource is allocated to a user, it is
denied to other programs that need it. These programs can’t
execute and hence the resources allocated to them also remains idle
➢ To achieve efficiency, the system software must minimize the
waste of resources by programs and its own overhead.
27
Goals of System Software
➢
Non Interference
➢The system software must ensure that no person can illegally
use programs and resources in the system or interfere with them

➢
It includes
➢Process Management
➢Memory Management
➢File System Management
➢Secondary Storage Management
➢
Program to manage these resources: Scheduler, Traffic
Controller 45
Device Drivers
➢
A computer program that controls a particular device
connected to computer.
➢
Devices includes Input Output and Storage Devices
46

47
Macro Processor
➢
Macro: Abbreviation for small code
Macro Definition: Sequence of code that has name
➢
➢
Macro Processor: Program that substitutes and specializes macro
definitions and Macro calls
48
Linker
➢
It collects the code which are separately compiled or assembled and
put into object file which is direct executable.
➢
It connects an object program to the code for standard library and
resource supplied by Operating system.
49
Loader
➢
Executable file made by loader has relative memory addresses
(Relocatable Code)
➢
Loader will resolve all relocatable addresses by considering base
Address
It places program in memory and prepare for its execution
➢
Schemes: Relocating, Absolute and direct linking
➢
50
Editor
➢
Compilers usually accept source programs written using an editor
that will produce a standard file such as ASCII file.
➢
Compilers normally are bundled together with the editors and other
programs into an Interactive Development Environment or IDE.
51
Debugger
➢
Debuggers are program that can be used to determine execution
errors in a compiled program.
➢
It is also packaged with a compiler in an IDE.
Running a program with debugger differs from straight execution.
➢
The debugger keeps track of most or all source code information, such
as line numbers names of variable and procedures.
➢
It can also halt execution at pre-specified locations called
breakpoints as well as provide information on what functions have
been called and what the current values of the variables are. 52
