How to use MOS Simulator

Hello Friends,

I am here again with a very new post that how to use Modern Operating System Simulator(MOSS).

Generally,  MOSS is a simulation program that is made for performing various operating system 
operations. To illustrate how things worked with an operating system. 

moss (Modern Operating Systems Simulators) is a collection of Java-based simulation programs which illustrate key concepts presented in the text Andrew S. Tanenbaum  Modern Operating System, Second Edition (Prentice-Hall, 2001). But it can be use with any operating system to perform various operations.
It is available for both UNIX  and Linux and all editions of Windows operating system.
Here Summary is presented of all available simulators of  MOSS. for fast & easy understanding :

Summary :
1. Scheduling Simulator (Process Scheduling)
2. Deadlocking Simulator (About Deadlock conditions, avoidance, detection etc.)
3. Memory Management (Illustrate page replacement algorithms.)

Now, before using any simulator you have JAVA (jdk) installed on your system (any version can be preferred).  If it is not then download and install jdk from here.

After Installing JDK , you want to download MOSS simulator.
For Downloading various available MOSS simulators  please use this below link.

After downloading suitable  MOSS simulator, i.e. an .exe extension file.
Create a folder named moss then corresponding  to your simulator create another folder (name it whatever you want.) then unzip/extract this .exe file  to this folder.

Now you are ready to use this simulator.... change the values of no. of processes, mean time, etc. according to you and get desired result .
Enjoy it....
Thanks for reading it.....!!!
