What does DOS stand for in computer science?

Answer 1

Microprocessors handle just about everything in computers. I'll break this down just a bit for you. For example:

CPU: Central Processing Unit- This is the biggest "beef" of your computer, and performs almost all of the calculations, instructions, and addressing necessary in order for a computer to actually "compute" or function. This dictates what data does, where it goes, and how it is handled.

Northbridge- The NB is built into the CPU on newer processors, but it traditionally was set on the motherboard. This is a microprocessor that handles memory addressing, and acts as a liaison between expansion slots and the CPU, particularly when it comes to your RAM. This piece of hardware is also vital to a computer, and computers do not function without some form of a NB.

Microprocessor Controllers- Built into basically everything, these minor processors control the function of smaller computer parts. Individual RAM modules have a controller on them, which tells the part itself how to interpret data that comes to it. The same applies to Network Interface Cards, Hard Drives, Graphics Cards, USB Hubs, and essentially anything else that can be connected to a computer.

Guess you could say microprocessors are what make computers computers!

Answer 2

DOS is short for Disk Operating System, is the early operating system (developed by IBM) for personal computers. It is a text-based system, so you must type commands for every operation you wish to complete. There was no mouse, and nothing to click.

Variations of this system can still be found in various places, including the Windows Repair Console and boot disks. Commandlines can still be entered into the Graphic User Interface system, by using the shell utility, Command Prompt. Start commands can also be entered into the "Run" box on Windows XP and earlier versions.

Answer 3

Basically its an acronym for Disk Operating System. The term DOS can refer to any operating system, but it is most often used as a shorthand for MS-DOS (Microsoft disk operating system). Originally developed by Microsoft for IBM, MS-DOS was the standard operating system for IBM-compatible personal computers.
