An example block diagram, showing the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system architecture. A block diagram is a diagram of a system in which the principal parts or functions are represented by blocks connected by lines that show the relationships of the blocks. [1] They are heavily used in engineering in hardware design, electronic design ...
Example of a high-level systems architecture for a computer. A system architecture is the conceptual model that defines the structure, behavior, and views of a system. [1] An architecture description is a formal description and representation of a system, organized in a way that supports reasoning about the structures and behaviors of the system.
Example of a system context diagram. [1] A system context diagram in engineering is a diagram that defines the boundary between the system, or part of a system, and its environment, showing the entities that interact with it. [2] This diagram is a high level view of a system. It is similar to a block diagram.
Operating system development may come from entirely new concepts, or may commence by modeling an existing operating system. In either case, the hobbyist is her/his own developer, or may interact with a small and sometimes unstructured group of individuals who have like interests. Examples of hobby operating systems include Syllable and TempleOS.
A multiprocessor system is defined as "a system with more than one processor", and, more precisely, "a number of central processing units linked together to enable parallel processing to take place". [1] [2] [3] The key objective of a multiprocessor is to boost a system's execution speed. The other objectives are fault tolerance and application ...
The Java Platform, Enterprise Edition architecture is a layered reference architecture which provides a template solution for many enterprise systems developed in Java. Examples of implementing frameworks include Glassfish and Wildfly. The IBM Insurance Application Architecture [3] is a reference architecture for the Insurance domain.
Flynn's taxonomy is a classification of computer architectures, proposed by Michael J. Flynn in 1966 [1] and extended in 1972. [2] The classification system has stuck, and it has been used as a tool in the design of modern processors and their functionalities.
In OS/360 and descendant systems, the (privileged) operating system facility is called IEWFETCH, [2] and is an internal component of the OS Supervisor, whereas the (non-privileged) LOADER application can perform many of the same functions, plus those of the Linkage Editor, and is entirely external to the OS Supervisor (although it certainly ...
