26 MARCH 2019

Author Note

This paper was prepared for IT-600 Operating Systems, Module 3 Milestone 2,

Assignment, taught by.

Creation of an Analytical Organizational Profile

Overview: For this milestone, you will create an analytical organizational profile. The goal is to map each of the general-purpose operating system features identified to your analysis of what the feature is, why it is important, and what business-related problem such a general-purpose operating system feature would create if not present in a typical small-to-medium-sized business back office.

Directions: Insert your answers directly in the Student Analysis column below by doing the following:

· In each of the “Tech Description” fields, describe the GPOS feature using relevant technical terms and topic-related details.

· In each of the “Business Requirement” fields, describe (in business terms) how the absence of this GPOS feature impacts a business such as TSI.

GPOS Feature

Profile Criteria

Student Analysis

Multiprogramming

Tech Description

An act of parallel processing on the platform of single processer. Programs are put in sechedule and they are not running simultaneously.

Business Requirement

There is use of single processers to process one particular program at a time such that one big has the capability of blocking small ones until it goes to completion.

Multiprocessing

Tech Description

It has multiple processors that can even work on more than one processes simultaneously.

Business Requirement

It upgrades the lifetime for TSI since it doubles the output unlike the single processor system.

Multithreading

Tech Description

It is shared in cache for quicker accessing either through register or cache. Although threads are smaller, they create process together.

Business Requirement

Currently, TSI is removing functionaility of threading by open source software since it lacks system call interface which is beyond read and write. Besides, TSI is not to create multiple threads.

Virtual Memory

Tech Description

A temporary data transfer from RAM to disk if RAM is overloaded.

Business Requirement

TSI has inadequate memory and its system crashes frequently compelling the adminstrators to constantly reboot their systems. Indeed, they should have virtual memory model which utilizes paging for avoidace of crashing of the system in future.

System Call Interface

Tech Description

It exists between user’s application and kernel. In fact, it translates user’s command into kernel language for command execution. Kernel language should be developed to all customers.

Business Requirement

TSI is known for creation of custom system calls sicne they an interfae that is not compatible to other software. Developers should create special system calls to be used.

Security

Tech Description

Protects software from intruders or unauthorized access to the system.

Business Requirement

It enhances protection of the system’s information whereas TSI has low amount of security.

Device Drivers

Tech Description

Controls the connection of devices to programs.

Business Requirement

It allows installation of TSI software disk to aid operation of a printer.

Fault Tolerance

Tech Description

Creates program that brings changes to prevent systems from crashing.

Business Requirement

TSI needs to have fault tolerance to avoid having troubles in programming while developing their devices drivers
