Basic Issues
• I/O devices:
– Communication devices
• Input only (keyboard, mouse, joystick, light pen)
• Output only (printer, visual display, voice
synthesizers…)
• Input/output (network card…)
– Storage devices
• Input/output (disk, tape, writeable optical disks…)
• Input only (CD-ROM…)
Operating Systems

Basic Issues
• Every device type/model is different
– input/output/both, block/char oriented, speed, errors, …
• Main tasks of I/O system:
– Present logical (abstract) view of devices
• Hide details of hardware interface
• Hide error handling
– Facilitate efficient use
• Overlap CPU and I/O
– Support sharing of devices
• Protection when device is shared (disk)
• Scheduling when exclusive access needed (printer)

I/O System Interface
• Block-Oriented Device Interface
– direct access
– contiguous blocks
– usually fixed block size
– Operations:
• Open: verify device is ready, prepare it for access
• Read: Copy a block into main memory
• Write: Copy a portion of main memory to a block
• Close: Release the device
• Note: these are lower level than those of the FS
– Used by File System and Virtual Memory System
– Applications typically go through the File System
Operating Systems

I/O System Interface
• Stream-Oriented Device Interface
– character-oriented
– sequential access
– Operations:
• Open: reserve exclusive access
• Get: return next character of input stream
• Put: append character to output stream
• Close: release exclusive access
• Note: these too are different from those of the FS
but some systems try to present a uniform view of
files and devices

I/O System Interface
• Network Interface
– key abstraction: socket
– endpoints of a “line” between two processes
– once established, use protocol to communicate
• Connection-less protocols
– send messages, called datagrams
– Operations: send, receive (to/from sockets)
• Connection-based protocols
– establish a connection called virtual circuit
– Operations: connect, accept, read, write

I/O Devices – Output
• Display monitors
– character or
graphics oriented
– Different data rates:
• 25 x 80 characters vs
800 x 600 pixels (1B
allows 256 colors)
• Refresh 30-60 times/s
for video
• Printers (ink jet, laser)
• Interface
– write to controller
buffer
– wait for completion
– handle errors
Operating Systems
11
I/O Devices – Input
• Keyboards
– most common: “QWERTY”
• Pointing devices
– Mouse
– Trackball
– Joystick
• Scanners
• Interface
– device generates interrupt when data is ready
– read data from controller buffer
– low data rates, not time-critical
Operating Systems
12
I/O Devices – Storage
• Disks
– Surface, tracks/surface, sectors/track, bytes/sector
– All sectors numbered sequentially 0..(n-1)
(device controller provides mapping)
Operating Systems
13
I/O Devices – Storage
• Track skew
– Account for seek-to-next-track to minimize rotational delay
Operating Systems
14
I/O Devices – Storage
• Double-sided or multiple surfaces
– Tracks with same diameter = cylinder
– Sectors are numbered within cylinder consecutively to
minimize seek time
Operating Systems
15
I/O Devices – Storage
• Optical disks
– CD-ROM, CD-R (WORM), CD-RW
– Originally designed for music
– Data stored as continuous spiral,
subdivided into sectors
– Higher storage capacity: 0.66 GB/surface
– Constant linear speed (200-530 rpm), high data rate
Operating Systems
16
I/O Devices – Storage
• Critical issue: data transfer rates of disks
– Sustained rate: continuous data delivery
– Peek rate: transfer once read/write head is in place
• depends on rotation speed and data density
• Example:
7200 rpm, 100 sectors/track, 512 bytes/sector.
What is the peak transfer rate?
– 7200 rpm: 60,000/7200=8.3 ms/rev
– 8.3/100 = 0.083 ms/sector
– 512 bytes transferred in 0.083 ms: ~6.17 MB/s
What is the Sustained rate?–Depends on file organization

Device Drivers
• accept command from
application
– get/put character
– read/write block
– send/receive
packet
• interact with device
controller (hardware)
to carry out command
• driver-controller
interface:
set of registers
Operating Systems
20
Device Drivers: Interface to Controller
• How does driver
read/write registers?
• Explicit: special
I/O instruction:
io_store
cpu_reg,
dev_no,
dev_reg
• Memory-mapped:
CPU instruction:
store cpu_reg, n
(n is memory
address)
Operating Systems
21
Programmed I/O with Polling
• Who moves the data?
• How does driver know when device is ready?
• CPU is responsible for
– moving every character to/from controller buffer
– detecting when I/O operation completed
• Protocol to input a character/block:
Operating Systems
22
Programmed I/O with Polling
• Driver operation to input sequence of characters or blocks:
i = 0;
do {
write_reg(opcode, read);
while (busy_flag == true) {…??...}; //waiting
mm_in_area[i] = data_buffer;
increment i;
compute;
} while (…)
Operating Systems
23
Programmed I/O with Polling
• Driver operation to output sequence of characters or
blocks:
i = 0;
do {
compute;
data_buffer = mm_out_area[i];
increment i;
write_reg(opcode, write);
while (busy_flag == true) {…??...};
} while (data_available)
Operating Systems
24
Programmed I/O with Polling
• What to do while waiting?
– Idle (busy wait)
– Some other computation (what?)
• How frequently to poll?
– Give up CPU
• Device may remain unused for a long time
• Data may be lost
Operating Systems
25
Programmed I/O with Interrupts
• CPU is responsible for moving data, but
• Interrupt signal informs CPU when I/O operation completes
• Protocol to input a character/block:
Operating Systems
26
Programmed I/O with Interrupts
• Compare Polling with Interrupts:
i = 0;
do { write_reg(opcode, read);

while (busy_flag == true) {…}; //active wait
mm_in_area[i] = data_buffer;
increment i;
compute;
} while (…)
i = 0;
do { write_reg(opcode, read);

block to wait for interrupt;
mm_in_area[i] = data_buffer;
increment i;
compute;
} while (…)
Operating Systems
27
Programmed I/O with Interrupts
• Example: Keyboard driver
do { block to wait for interrupt;
mm_in_area[i] = data_buffer;
increment i;
compute(mm_in_area[]);
} while (data_buffer != ENTER)
• Note:
– there is no write_reg command, pressing a key generates
interrupt
– compute depends on type of input: raw/cooked
• E.g. trying to type “text” but with typos
raw:
t e s t ← BS x →
cooked: t e x t
Operating Systems
28
Programmed I/O with Interrupts
• I/O with interrupts: more complicated, involves OS
• Example: sequence of reads
• More overhead (OS) but better device utilization
Operating Systems
29
Direct Memory Access (DMA)
•
•
•
•
CPU does not transfer data, only initiates operation
DMA controller transfers data directly to/from main memory
Interrupts when transfer completed
Input protocol:
Operating Systems
31
DMA
• Driver (CPU) operation to input sequence of bytes:
write_reg(mm_buf, m); // give parameters
write_reg(count, n);
write_reg(opcode, read); // start op
block to wait for interrupt;
– Writing opcode triggers DMA controller
– DMA controller issues interrupt after n chars in memory
• Cycle Stealing
– DMA controller competes with CPU for memory access
– generally not a problem because:
• Memory reference would have occurred anyway
• CPU is frequently referencing data in registers or
cache, bypassing main memory
Operating Systems
32
Device Management
Operating Systems
34
Device Management
• Device-independent techniques:
– Buffering/caching
– Error Handling
– Device Scheduling/Sharing
Operating Systems
35
Buffering
• Reasons for buffering
– Allows asynchronous operation of producers and
consumers
– Allows different granularities of data
– Consumer or producer can be swapped out while
waiting for buffer fill/empty
Operating Systems
36
Buffering
• Single buffer operation
• Double buffer (buffer swapping)
– Increases overlap
– Ideal when: time to fill = time to empty = constant
– When times differ, benefits diminish
Operating Systems
37
Buffering
• Circular Buffer (bounded buffer from Ch. 2)
– Producer and consumer each use an index
• nextin gives position of next input
• nextout gives position of next output
• Both are incremented modulo n at end of operation
– When average times to fill/empty are comparable but
vary over time: circular buffer absorbs bursts
• Buffer Queue
– Variable size buffer to prevent producer blocking
– Implement as linked list –
needs dynamic memory management
• Buffer Cache: pool of buffers for repeated access
Operating Systems
38
Error Handling
• Types of error
– Persistent vs Transient
– SW vs HW
– Persistent SW error
• Repair/reinstall program
– Transient SW/HW errors:
• Error detecting/correcting codes
– e.g., Hamming code (separate lecture)
• Retry operation, e.g. disk seek/read/write
– Persistent HW errors:
• Redundancy in storage media
Operating Systems
39
Bad block detection/handling
•
•
•
•
Block may be bad as a manufacturing fault or during use
Parity bit is used to detect faulty block
The controller bypasses faulty block by renumbering
A spare block is used instead
Two possible
re-mappings:
a) simple
b) preserves
contiguity
of allocation
Operating Systems
45
Stable storage
• Some applications cannot tolerate any loss of data (even
temporarily)
• Stable storage protocols:
– Use 2 independent disks, A and B
– Write: write to A; if successful, write to B; if either
fails, go to recovery
– Read: read from A and B; if A!=B, go to Recovery
– Recovery from Media Failure: A or B contains correct
data (parity); remap failed disk block
– Recovery from Crash:
• if while reading, just repeat the read
• if while writing A, B is correct; if while writing B, A
is correct; recover from whichever is correct
Operating Systems
46
RAID
• RAID = Redundant Array of Independent Disks
– Increased performance through parallel access
– Increased reliability through redundant data
– Maintain exact replicas of all disks
• most reliable but wasteful
– Maintain only partial recovery information
• (e.g. error correcting codes)
Operating Systems
47
Device Management
• Disk Scheduling
– Requests for different blocks
arrive concurrently from
different processes
– Minimize rotational delay:
• re-order requests to blocks on
each track to access in one
rotation
– Minimize seek time:
– Conflicting goals:
• Minimize total travel distance
• Guarantee fairness
Operating Systems
48
Device Management
• Algorithms
– FIFO: requests are processed in the order of arrival
• simple, fair, but inefficient
– SSTF (Shortest Seek Time First): always go to the
track that’s nearest to the current positions
• most efficient but prone to starvation
– Scan (Elevator):
– maintain a direction of travel
– always proceed to the nearest track in the current
direction of travel
– if there is no request in the current direction,
reverse direction
• fair, acceptable performance
