Bare Machine and Resident Monitor

The Bare Machine and Resident Monitor are not directly related to the operating system but while we study about memory management these components are really important to study, so let’s study them one by one and then their working.

Bare Machine:

So basically, Bare machine is logical hardware which is used to execute the program in the processor without using the operating system. as of now, we have studied that we can’t execute any process without the Operating system. But yes, with the help of the Bare machine we can do that.

Initially, when the operating systems are not developed, the execution of an instruction is done by directly on hardware without using any interfering hardware, at that time the only drawback was that the Bare machines accepting the instruction in only machine language, due to this those person who has sufficient knowledge about Computer field are able to operate a computer. so, after the development of the operating system Bare machine is referred to as inefficient.

Resident Monitor:

In this section, if we talk about how the code runs on Bare machines, then this component is used, so basically, the Resident Monitor is a code that runs on Bare Machines.

The resident monitor works like an operating system that controls the instructions and performs all necessary functions. It also works like job sequencer because it also sequences the job and sends them to the processor.

After scheduling the job Resident monitors loads the programs one by one into the main memory according to their sequences. One most important factor about the resident monitor is that when the program execution occurred there is no gap between the program execution and the processing is going to be faster.

The Resident monitors are divided into 4 parts as:

1.      Control Language Interpreter

2.      Loader

3.      Device Driver

4.      Interrupt Processing

These are explained as following below.

1.      Control Language Interpreter:

The first part of the Resident monitor is control language interpreter which is used to read and carry out the instruction from one level to the next level.

2.      Loader:
The second part of the Resident monitor which is the main part of the Resident Monitor is Loader which Loads all the necessary system and application programs into the main memory.

3.      Device Driver:

The third part of the Resident monitor is Device Driver which is used to managing the connecting input-output devices to the system. So basically, it is the interface between the user and the system. it works as an interface between the request and response. request which user made; Device driver responds that the system produces to fulfill these requests.

4.      Interrupt Processing:

The fourth part as the name suggests, it processes the all occurred interrupt to the system.
