Computer System

Environments

1
Computing Environments

• Traditional
• Mobile
• Client Server
• Peer-to-Peer
• Cloud computing
• Real-time Embedded

2
Traditional

• Stand-alone general-purpose machines


• Network of computers
• Portals provide web access to internal systems
• Mobile computers, laptops interconnect via
wireless networks

3
Mobile

• Handheld smartphones, tablets, etc.

• What is the functional difference between


mobiles and a “traditional” laptop?

Mobile devices prioritize portability and touch-


based interaction, while traditional laptops
offer more power and productivity with
physical keyboards and larger screens.

• Leaders are iOS and Android

4
Client Server
 Client-Server Computing
• Dumb terminals replaced by smart PCs
• Many systems now servers, responding to requests generated by
clients
 Computer-server system provides an interface to client
to request services (i.e., database)
 File-server system provides interface for clients to store
and retrieve files
 Email servers…

5
Peer-to-Peer

• Another model of distributed


system
• P2P does not distinguish clients
and servers
• Instead, all nodes are considered
peers
• May each act as client, server or both
• Node must join P2P network

6
Cloud Computing
• Delivers computing, storage, even apps as a service
across a network

• Many types
• Public cloud – available via Internet to anyone willing to
pay
• Private cloud – run by a company for the company’s own
use
• Hybrid cloud – includes both public and private cloud
components

• Software as a Service (SaaS) – one or more applications


available via the Internet (i.e., word processor)
• Platform as a Service (PaaS) – software stack ready for
application use via the Internet (i.e., a database server)
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – servers or storage
available over Internet (i.e., storage available for backup
use) 7
Real-Time Embedded Systems

• Real-time embedded systems most prevalent form


of computers
• Vary considerable, special purpose, limited purpose OS,
real-time OS
• Use expanding

• Many other special computing environments as well


• Some have OSes, some perform tasks without an OS

• Real-time OS has well-defined fixed time constraints


• Processing must be done within constraint
• Correct operation only if constraints met

8
Free and Open-Source Operating
Systems

• Operating systems made available in source-code


format rather than just binary closed-source and
proprietary

• Started by Free Software Foundation (FSF),


which has “copyleft” GNU Public License (GPL)
• Free software and open-source software are two different ideas
championed by different groups of people

• Examples include GNU/Linux and BSD UNIX


(including core of Mac OS X), and many more
