OPERATING SYSTEM• An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and 

software resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is a component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function. Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also include accounting software for cost allocation of processor time, mass storage, printing, and other resources. For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware,[1][2] although the application code is usually executed directly by the hardware and frequently makes system calls to an OS function or is interrupted by it. Operating systems are found on many devices that contain a computer—from cellular phones and video game consoles to web servers and supercomputers.

EXAMPLES • Examples of popular modern operating systems include 

BlackBerry, BSD, iOS, Linux (Android, Chrome OS, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, PCLinuxOS, RHEL ), OS X, QNX,Steam OS, Microsoft Windows (and variant Windows Phone),[3] and z/OS. The first seven of these examples share roots in Unix. Popular hard real-time operating systems include FreeRTOS, Micrium and VxWorks

ARCHITECTURE

Android S/W Stack - Application

Android provides a set of core applications: Email Client SMS Program Calendar Maps Browser Contacts Etc

All applications are written using the Java language.

Android S/W Stack – App Framework (Cont)Features

Android S/W Stack - Libraries

Including a set of C/C++ libraries used by components of the Android system

Exposed to developers through the Android application framework

Android S/W Stack - Runtime

Core Libraries Providing most of the functionality available in

the core libraries of the Java language APIs

Data Structures Utilities File Access Network Access Graphics Etc

Android S/W Stack – Runtime (Cont) Dalvik Virtual Machine

Providing environment on which every Android application runs

Each Android application runs in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik VM.

Dalvik has been written such that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently.

Register-based virtual machine

Android S/W Stack – Runtime (Cont) Dalvik Virtual Machine (Cont)

Executing the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format .dex format is optimized for minimal memory

footprint. Compilation

Relying on the Linux Kernel for: Threading Low-level memory management

Android S/W Stack – Linux Kernel

Relying on Linux Kernel 2.6 for core system services Memory and Process Management Network Stack Driver Model Security

Providing an abstraction layer between the H/W and the rest of the S/W stack
