About this app

Struggling to understand Operating Systems from dense textbooks? Operating System Visualizer transforms abstract OS theory into beautiful animations and interactive simulations that you can see and touch.

🎯 Why Operating System Visualizer is different

Instead of just reading definitions, you watch the CPU schedule processes, see page replacement algorithms in action, and interact with deadlock avoidance. We turn invisible system behaviour into vivid visual experiences.

📚 100% Syllabus Coverage

• Process Management & Threads
• CPU Scheduling – FCFS, SJF, SRTF, Round Robin, Priority
• Process Synchronisation – Semaphores, Producer‑Consumer, Readers‑Writers
• Deadlock – Prevention, Avoidance (Banker’s Algorithm), Detection
• Memory Management – Paging, Segmentation, Virtual Memory, Page Replacement (FIFO, LRU, Optimal)
• File Systems & Disk Scheduling – FCFS, SSTF, SCAN, C‑SCAN, LOOK
• I/O Systems & Security
• Linux / Unix commands

🎮 Interactive OS Lab – Learn by Doing

• CPU Scheduling Simulator – Add processes, choose an algorithm, and watch the Gantt chart animate in real time. See context switches, waiting time, and turnaround time calculated automatically.

• Page Replacement Visualiser – Input your own reference string and watch pages move in/out of frames. Compare FIFO, LRU, and Optimal side by side.

• Disk Scheduling Simulator – Move the disk head, see seek times, and understand SSTF vs SCAN vs C‑SCAN.

• Banker’s Algorithm – Enter Allocation and Max matrices, and instantly know if the system is in a safe state.

• Producer‑Consumer Animation – Tap “Produce” and “Consume” to see a bounded buffer fill and empty – perfect for understanding semaphores.

• Paging Memory Visualiser – Access logical pages and watch the page table and physical frames update.

📖 Story‑Based Concept Learning

Each topic begins with a simple story – for example, “CPU is like a chef, processes are orders”. Then we show the rules, followed by an interactive simulation. No more boring bullet points.

🎯 GATE & University Exam Prep
