Explain how an OS can facilitate installation of a new device without any need for recompiling the OS. Modern operating systems use loadable kernel modules (LKMs), which allow device drivers to be loaded at runtime without recompiling the kernel. Additionally, they use Plug-and-Play (PnP) systems and hardware abstraction layers (HAL) to detect and configure new devices automatically.
This makes it easy to add printers, USB drives, and other hardware dynamically. Why is printer output typically spooled

Block Devices: Stores information in fixed-size blocks, transfers are in units of whole blocks(ex: hard drives, SSDs, USB drives). Character Devices: delives/acccepts streams of charcters, w/o regard to block struc, not addressable, no seek op(ex: keyboard,mice,serial ports). Port-Mapped (Isolated I/O): I/O devices have a separate address space, special instructions IN & OUT used to access devices. Memory-Mapped I/O: Device registers are mapped into system memory, use regular load and store

UNIT-I: ATOMIC STRUCTURE

Bohr’s Atomic Theory

Bohr proposed that electrons revolve in specific circular orbits around the nucleus without radiating energy. These orbits are quantized and labeled by the principal quantum number n. The angular momentum of the electron is given by mvr = n(h/2π). The energy of an electron in a hydrogen-like atom is E = –13.6 Z²/n² eV. When an electron jumps between energy levels, radiation is absorbed or emitted: ΔE = hν = hc/λ.

Limitations of Bohr’s Theory

Turing Machine

The Turing machine is a collection of following components. M = (Q, E, Γ, δ, q0 ,Β, F) 1) Q is a finite set of states. 2) T is finite set of external symbols. 3) E is a finite set of input symbols. 4) A or b or B e T is a blank symbol majorly used as end marker for input. 5) 8 is a transition or a mapping function.

Design of TM  The Turing machine can be modelled with the help of following representation.1) The input tape having infinite number of cells, each cell containing one

File System: Manages how data is stored and retrieved on disk. Disk = sequence of fixed-size blocks -> only 2 ops: read(k), write(k). Must: 1.) Store large amounts of data. 2.) Keep data after process ends. 3.) Allow multiple processes to access same data. File Types & Structure: File Types: Executable, Text, Archive. File Structures: Byte Sequence (eg: .txt), Record Sequence (eg: DB), Tree (eg: XML). File Operations: Create, Delete, Open, Close, Read, Write, Append, Seek, Get/Set Attributes,...

#Market structure refers to the characteristics of a market that affect the behavior and performance of firms within it. The main types of market structures are:1 Perfect Competition*: A market with many firms, free entry and exit, and homogeneous products.2 Monopoly*: A market with a single firm, barriers to entry, and a unique product.3 Monopolistic Competition*: A market with many firms, free entry and exit, and differentiated products.4 Oligopoly*: A market with a few firms, barriers to entry,
