suoritusjärjestelmän

Suoritusjärjestelmä refers to the operating system in Finnish. An operating system is fundamental software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs. It acts as an intermediary between the user and the computer hardware. Key functions of an operating system include process management, memory management, file system management, and device management. Process management involves the creation, deletion, and scheduling of processes, which are instances of running programs. Memory management ensures that each process has access to the necessary memory and that memory is used efficiently. File system management organizes and controls the storage and retrieval of data on storage devices. Device management handles communication between the computer and its peripheral devices, such as printers and keyboards. Examples of operating systems include Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. These systems enable users to interact with their computers and run various applications. Without an operating system, a computer would be unable to function or execute programs.
