About this listen
In this episode we describes various types of operating systems (OS), including distributed, embedded, multi-tasking, multi-user, and real-time systems. It explains how these different OS types function and their typical applications, such as mobile OS for smartphones or embedded OS for household appliances. Furthermore, the essential software components like the BIOS for booting computers, device drivers for hardware interaction, and virtual machines for emulating other systems. We look at examples like the Therac-25 case study to illustrate the critical importance of real-time OS reliability in safety-critical environments.
