Abstract

This paper describes an operating system (OS) simulator designed to be used as an instructional tool in the teaching of OS performance issues. Design criteria, assumptions used, development, and implementation of the model are discussed. The model provides a hands-on laboratory tool for experimentation with a layered, modular, multitasking, event driven OS. Incorporated in the model is the capability to experiment with a variety of job mixes. A flexible report generator presents the results of the simulation in a readable form. Empirical validation indicates that the model simulates typical OS behavior, and that it has potential for becoming an effective teaching tool.
