Problems: 1. The computer has a complex stracture (CPU and other diffrent components). 2. small set of primitive commands (changing from one computer to another..)

The operating system is answering these problems by adding a new abstarction layer (it's actually hidding non important or primitive elements).

What is extended machine?

An extended machine is usually in reference to a computer. It commonly is in reference to the OS or operating system of the computer.


Operating system as an extended machine?

The Computer being a very complex machine appears to us the users as a very easy to use machine all thanks to the operating system. The operating system hides all the underlying processes that are going on in the computer like interrupt,memory allocation,time pulse etc and presents the user with a more simplified user friendly interface. Because in general sense an ordinary user is not interested in the complicated processes that go on in the computer system.


What the advantage for an operating system designer of using a virtual machine?

A virtual machine will provide generic hardware that can be found in many other computers. Having a virtual machine eliminates the need to have either a second system, or to reboot to test their operating system.


What is tha advantage for an operating system of using a virtual machine?

An advantage of using a virtual machine is you can run multiple operating systems under the umbrella of one operating system. Without a virtual machine you have to reboot every time you want to want to change operating systems but with a VM you can simply switch between them.


How a operating system is related to computer hardware?

The operating system (OS) controls the hardware. A successful computer system will have hardware and an operating system. Application software is not required. All operating systems have a low level, or machine language to run the operation system and control all hardware.

What are some acronyms for VME?

Some acronyms of vme would be virtual machine environment, which is an ICL operating system. It can also stand for virtual memory extension or virtual memory extended.

why operating system is called an Extended machine?

an operating system is a software progrmme required to mange and opearate a computing divice like computers, supercomputers, smartwatches, tablets, etc. It is the operating system that eliminates the need to know coding language to interact with computing divices. It is a layer of graphical user interface which acts as a platfrom between the user and the computer hardware moreover the operating system manges. the software side of a computer and controls programs exacution.


Is the new amd 64 compatible with the 32-bit windows operating system?

You can run a 32bit operating system on a 64bit machine.


What is basic bare machine in operating system?

Basic Machine, in computer parlance, means a computer without its operating system. Modern operating systems evolved through various stages, from elementary to the present day complex, highly sensitive real-time systems. In the very first stage of computing there was nothing like an Operating System at all. Programs were fed to the computer system directly using machine language by the programmers without any system software support. This approach is termed the "Bare Machine" approach in the development of operating systems.


Relation between guest and host operating system?

A guest operating system is considered a third party application. This is when users are allowed to work within an operating system that is shared on a public or private platform. A host operating system is one that a primary user owns or runs. He or she can also turn their operating system into a shared application if desired.


Can you have two operating systems on one computer?

Yes, but only one can be in control of the system. When a choice of operating systems exist, you typically choose the controlling operating system via a boot menu at startup. To switch to another operating system, you must restart the system. It is possible to run two or more operating systems at the same time via virtual machines. A virtual machine is a software program that emulates a real computer. However, operating systems within a virtual machine have no direct control over the physical machine which is always under the direct control of the one operating system chosen at startup. Virtual machine operating system calls are routed to the virtual machine software which must translate the call to invoke the appropriate system function of controlling operating system. As a result, virtual machines perform extremely poorly compared to the physical machines within which they operate.


In a dual oprating system how can you delate one oprting system?

The second operating system should be on a different partition or disk. If you format the partition/disk that the unwanted operating system is on, the machine will have no choice but to boot to the remaining operating system.
