Java Virtual Machine Compiled Java programs are platform-neutral bytecodes executed by a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). JVM consists of - class loader - class verifier - runtime interpreter Just-In-Time (JIT) compilers increase performance Operating System Concepts Java Virtual Machine Operating System Concepts Java Virtual Machine(cont.) Operating System Concepts Operating System Design and Implementation Design and Implementation of OS not “solvable”, but some approaches have proven successful Internal structure of different Operating Systems can vary widely Start by defining goals and specifications Operating System Concepts Operating System Design and Implementation Affected by choice of hardware, type of system User goals and System goals User goals – operating system should be convenient to use, easy to learn, reliable, safe, and fast System goals – operating system should be easy to design, implement, and maintain, as well as flexible, reliable, error-free, and efficient Operating System Concepts Operating System Design and Implementation (Cont.) Important principle to separate Policy: What will be done? Mechanism: How to do it? Mechanisms determine how to do something, policies decide what will be done The separation of policy from mechanism is a very important principle, it allows maximum flexibility if policy decisions are to be changed later Operating System Concepts Operating System Generation Operating systems are designed to run on any of a class of machines; the system must be configured for each specific computer site SYSGEN program obtains information concerning the specific configuration of the hardware system Operating System Concepts Operating System Generation (Cont.) Booting – starting a computer by loading the kernel Bootstrap program – code stored in ROM that is able to locate the kernel, load it into memory, and start its execution Operating System Concepts System Boot Operating system must be made available to hardware so hardware
