System Software

  System Software includes the major components or types of software that make up a computer System System Software can be divided into five main categories. They are operating systems, device drivers, firmware, programming language translators and utility software. Operating Systems OS is the most important software in a computer. Once the computer is activated, the operating system inside the computer is activated and helps the user to perform tasks. Types of OS, 1. Processor Management 2. Memory Management 3. Device Management 4. Storage Management 5. Application Management 6.User Interface

  2.  Device Driver A device driver  is  software provided by a hardware maker  that tells the computer's operating system exactly how to work with that hardware.    3.  Firmware It is a specialized software developed by a computer manufacturer and does not need to be constantly updated. This is called the BIOS and is stored in the ROM chip of the computer and is constantly updated. This first activates the system components(input, output, storage, etc...) as soon as the belt is supplied to the adapter. checks and activates the operating system. This is called booting. Not only computers but also modern refrigerates, vehicles, microwave ovens and other appliances can be found the pantry.

 4.  Programming language Translators Programming language translator is software which can translate a program from a higher-level programming language such as C, Java or Python to lower level language such as assembler machine code language. Computer can only understand programs that are written in zeros and ones. Programming codes written in ones and zeros are called machine language program codes. There are three types of programming language translators. They are, Interpreter Compiler Assembler 5.  Utility Software This includes software used to increase the efficiency of a computer system.
