Operating Systems: Glossary

User programs are presented with uniform abstractions through the concept of virtualization.

Operating systems manage resources and map them to their corresponding virtualization abstractions.

A program is a static list of commands. When OS executes (runs) a program, the entire running operation is called a process.

Through fork, exec, and wait, processes can be controlled and manipulated.

virtualization of the CPU must be done in an efficient manner. At the same time, the OS must retain control over the system. This is accomplished by combining user/kernel modes, trap table, timer interrupt, and context switching.

FCFS/SJF operates based on a set of assumptions that are unrealistics in the real world.

MLFQ rules provide an adaptive approach to adjust the scheduling as needed.

Memory virtualization is how the OS provides an abstraction of physical memory to process in order to facilitate transparency, efficiency, and protection.
