System Software, Niraj Tutorials, Software
The system software is a collections of programs designed to work, control and extend the preparing capacities of the computer itself. It includes operating system that enable the computer to function.

System software of the most important programs that run on to a computer. Every generation computer must have a system software. It performs basic task such as input to the display screen, store files and folders on the disk.

This services as the interface between the hardware and end users. These are some examples of system software such as Operating System, Interpreter, Assemblers, Compilers, etc.

There are a list of the most prominent feature of a system software.

  • Small in size
  • Less interactive
  • Fast in speed
  • Close to the system
  • Difficult to manipulate
  • Difficult to understand
  • Difficult to design
  • Generally written in low-level language

Utilities Software

The application software that helps system software in doing their work is called Utilities Software. These are the programs pre-written by the manufacture and supplied with the hardware. It is actually a cross between system software and application software.

Examples of utilities software are as follows -

  • File management tools
  • Desk management tools
  • Antivirus Software
  • Compression tools
  • Backup tools

Floppy Disk Floppy disk is slower to access than hard disk. Floppy disk has low storage capacity, if the size of file increases than decreases the capacity of floppy disk. Hard Disk A Hard Disk is a storage medium. This drive is made up of a series of circular disk called platters arranged. A Hard Disk drive are made of non-magnetic material. A Hard Disk composed of numerous discs of metered sensitive to magnetic field. It has magnetic technology. Optical Disk An Optical Disk is input and output device. These devices use lesser technology to record data and information. It has a large storage capacity of the Gigabyte (GB). Magnetic Tape Magnetic Tape is a storage medium of secondary memory. They fit up to more than 4GB (Gigabyte). Pen Drive A Pen Drive is a portable memory devices. It is used to solid state memory rather t

The language translator is a program that converts programming languages into another programming language. Language translator is also called language processor. A program written in any high-level programming languages is known as the source code, to convert the source code into machine code is known as object code. There are three types of language translator. Assembler Compiler Interpreter Assembler An assembler is a program written in machine level language whose function to translate the assembly language code into machine language code. It is a low level programming language where we place of machine codes. Advantage Assembler is very fast translating assembly language to machine code as one by one relationship. Efficiency in execution just like machine level language. Disadvantage Assembly language is difficul

The period of the third generation was from 1965-1971. In this generation was used of IC (Integrated Circuits). IC reduced the price, size , use of electricity, etc. Third generation computers were used Keyboard, Mouse, and also used the operation system to improved a new level and high speed. Characteristics of the third generation computer Use of IC (Integrated Circuits) instead of transistors Use of magnetic storage device Use of mini-computers Use of monitor, keyboard, and line printers Use high-level programming languages Less expensive maintenance cost Less expensive than second generation Improved faster operations and more dependable Small size than second generation computer Some computers of third generation IBM 360 series IBM 370 IBM 168 TDC 316 Honeywell 6000 series PDP (Personal Data Processor)
