XP vs. Mac OS X Architecture Kurt Luchtman POS420 Irene Giouvanos May 29th 2006 When looking at the interface of the Mac OS X Operating System and the Microsoft Windows XP operating system many similarities can be seen. The most obvious is the use of blue in the interface. In the core of the systems they both have a micro kernel which addresses thread management‚ space management and other communications at the system level and is more resistant to attacks from a virus. Mac OS X is a powerful

1 Android OS: A robust‚ free‚ open-source operating system for mobile devices Paul Michael Kilgo Abstract Mobile devices have seen an extensive amount of development in recent years‚ but one question is still looming and nobody seems to have the answer: what is ’standard’ for the mobile platform? Many companies have already written their own in-house operating systems for the devices they manufacture such as Symbian or iPhone OS. However‚ with the existence of so many closed-source operating

systems allow multiple remote users to run jobs on the computer at once‚ such as querying a big database. These functions are closely related; mainframe operating systems often perform all of them. An example mainframe operating system is OS/390‚ a descendant of OS/360. However‚ mainframe operating systems are gradually being replaced by UNIX variants such as Linux. Server Operating Systems One level down are the server operating systems. They run on servers‚ which are either very large personal

ABC Professor: Paul Eggert Computer Science 111: Operating Systems 5 June 2014 Research Paper: Arrakis Operating System Recent device hardware trends enable a new approach to the design of network servers. In a traditional operating system‚ the kernel mediates access to device hardware by server applications‚ to enforce process isolation as well as network and disk security. Arrakis splits the traditional role of the kernel in two. Applications have direct access to virtualized I/O devices

Mobile os Vs Desktop os Android was designed from the ground up as an operating system (OS) for mobile devices. Its built-in application and memory-management systems were engineered with battery life as one of the most critical concerns. The Android OS does not work like a desktop operating system. On a desktop OS‚ like Windows‚ Mac OS X‚ or Ubuntu Linux‚ the user is responsible for closing programs in order to keep a reasonable amount of memory available. On Android‚ this is not the case. The
