    Operating System Kya Hai?

    Ek Operating System (OS) ek tarah ka system software hai jo computer ke hardware aur software ko manage karta hai aur users ke liye ek interface provide karta hai.

    Operating System ke Main Functions

    1. -> Process Management – CPU scheduling aur process execution ka dhyan rakhta hai.

    2. -> Memory Management – Program ke liye memory allocate aur deallocate karta hai.

    3. -> File System Management – Data ko organize aur store karta hai.

    4. -> Device Management – Hardware devices (printer, keyboard, etc.) ko control karta hai.

    5. -> Security & Access Control – Unauthorized access se protection deta hai.

    6. -> User Interface (UI) – CLI (Command Line Interface) ya GUI (Graphical User Interface) provide karta hai.


    Operating System Ka Evolution

    Operating Systems alag-alag computing needs ke according evolve hue hain. Neeche OS ke major types diye gaye hain jo time ke saath develop hue hain.


    1. Mainframe Operating System

    • Time Period: 1950s – 1970s

    • Use Case: Bade industrial, bank, aur government systems ke liye.

    • Key Features:

      • Batch Processing support karta hai (ek saath multiple jobs process hoti hain).

      • Ek bada powerful computer multiple users ke liye kaam karta hai.

      • Input devices: Punch cards aur magnetic tapes use ki jaati thi.

    Example:

    • IBM OS/360, UNIVAC, UNIX

     2. Desktop Operating System

    • Time Period: 1980s – Present

    • Use Case: Personal computers (PCs) ke liye.

    • Key Features:

      • Graphical User Interface (GUI) use hota hai.

      • Single-user ya multi-user support karta hai.

      • Standalone computers ke liye design kiya gaya hai.

    Example:

    • Windows (Windows 95, XP, 10, 11)

    • macOS (Mac OS X)

    • Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora)

    3. Multiprocessor Operating System

    • Time Period: 1990s – Present

    • Use Case: Scientific research, gaming, enterprise servers.

    • Key Features:

      • Multiple CPUs ek saath kaam karte hain.

      • Parallel processing se speed badhti hai.

      • Reliability aur fault tolerance improve hoti hai.

    Example:

    • Linux SMP Kernel, Windows Server, IBM AIX

    4. Distributed Operating System

    • Time Period: 2000s – Present

    • Use Case: Cloud computing aur supercomputers.

    • Key Features:

      • Task ko multiple computers ke beech distribute karta hai.

      • Load balancing aur fault tolerance provide karta hai.

      • Users ko ek single system jaisa feel hota hai.

    Example:

    • Google’s Cloud OS, Microsoft Azure, Amoeba, Sprite OS

    5. Network Operating System (NOS)

    • Time Period: 1990s – Present

    • Use Case: File sharing, remote access aur networking.

    • Key Features:

      • Multiple computers ko ek network ke through connect karta hai.

      • Security aur user authentication provide karta hai.

      • File aur printer sharing support karta hai.

    Example:

    • Microsoft Windows Server, Novell NetWare, UNIX/Linux Servers

    6. Clustered System

    • Time Period: 2000s – Present

    • Use Case: Supercomputing, banking, stock markets.

    • Key Features:

      • Multiple computers (nodes) ek saath kaam karte hain.

      • Fault tolerance aur high availability support karta hai.

      • Badi data processing applications ke liye useful hota hai.

    Example:

    • IBM Cluster Systems, Google Cloud Clusters, Apache Hadoop

    7. Handheld Operating System (Mobile OS)

    • Time Period: 2007 – Present

    • Use Case: Smartphones, tablets, IoT devices.

    • Key Features:

      • Touchscreen aur mobile hardware ke liye optimized hai.

      • Battery efficiency ko dhyan me rakha jata hai.

      • Apps ka ecosystem hota hai (Play Store, App Store).

    Example:

    • Android (Linux-based), iOS (Apple), Harmony OS (Huawei)

    Conclusion

    Operating Systems batch processing se lekar modern AI-based systems tak evolve ho chuke hain. Har tarah ka OS alag needs ko pura karta hai:
    ✅ Personal computing ke liye Desktop OS
    ✅ High-performance computing ke liye Multiprocessor & Clustered OS
    ✅ Cloud aur large networks ke liye Distributed & Network OS
    ✅ Mobile aur handheld devices ke liye Handheld OS
