    There are three main types of software: system software, application software, and operating system software. System software coordinates hardware resources and includes operating systems like Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Application software performs specific tasks like word processing, video editing, or web browsing. Operating system software controls the computer from startup to shutdown, managing resources, input/output, and hardware.

    Types of Software's

    Software provides by means for you


    to interact with the computer’s
    hardware.

    A Graphical user interface (GUI) displays pictures


    called Icons that allow you to interact with data and
    execute commands.
    Types of Software’s
    • System Software: is an operating system, a software
    that coordinates the resources (CPU, memory, I/O
    devices etc.) and activities on a computer. The good
    example of an operating system is MS Windows, Mac
    OS, Linux
    • Two primary objectives of an OS
    – Making a computer system convenient to use.
    – Managing the resource of a computer system
    • Application software: is the software used to directly
    complete a specific task. Application software is
    software you use to carry out your work or personal
    tasks. Application software helps you perform tasks
    such as writing a report, creating a video, viewing a
    webpage or sending photos to a friend. The example
    of application software are MS Word, Excel, Power
    Point
    Logical Architecture of a Computer
    Operating System Tasks

    • The OS controls your computer from the time you turn


    on the power to the time you turn it off.
    • It takes care of technical tasks such as start up steps,
    managing memory, processing input and output,
    controlling hardware, and ending a computer session.
    • The Boot process is a series of steps the OS must
    complete before you can interact with the operating
    system
    • After starting up the OS manages computer
    resources.
    – A resource is an component the system requires
    to do work. The main resources are memory,
    processing, storage space and peripherals.
    – The OS manage Random access memory
    efficiently.
    – All programs need space in RAM to run
    – If you run too many applications at a time, the
    computer can run out of RAM. In that case the OS
    might close an application or shutdown the
    computer unexpectedly
    • Another major task of the OS is processing input and
    output, often the OS must handle many input and
    output tasks at the same time.
    • The OS considers every hardware device connected to
    the computer as an input or output device
    • When you end the session, the OS takes care of the
    tasks to shutdown, restart, sign out or lock the
    computer
    • To shutdown a computer, the OS follows a
    series of steps
    – Checks users
    – Closes applications
    – Closes system software
    – Turn pff the power
