"NEXT-GENERATION OPERATING SYSTEM SIMULATION PLATFORM"
NovaOS is a premium, full-stack Operating System simulator designed to bridge the gap between abstract OS theory and real-time interactive visualization. It provides a "Mission Control" experience for monitoring process lifecycles, memory allocation, disk scheduling, and deadlock recovery.
- Live System Telemetry: Real-time bi-directional communication via WebSockets for instant state updates.
- Dynamic Scheduling Visualization: Interactive Gantt charts and process state transitions for various CPU algorithms.
- Visual Memory Mapping: Graphical heatmaps showing block-level memory allocation and fragmentation.
- Disk Arm Animation: Real-time visualization of disk head movement across tracks and sectors.
- Deadlock Mission Control: Intelligent detection with Bankers Algorithm and animated resource recovery timelines.
- Functional Shell Terminal: Integrated command-line interface to interact with the kernel directly.
- High-Fidelity Dashboard: Premium glassmorphic UI with smooth micro-animations and responsive layout.
- AI Kernel Assistant: Intelligent AI-powered insights and system analysis for kernel operations.
NovaOS is powered by a modular Python-based kernel engine that simulates complex hardware interactions:
- Dynamic Allocation: Real-time visualization of memory blocks.
- Fragmentation Control: Monitoring internal and external fragmentation.
- Algorithm Support: First-fit, Best-fit, and Worst-fit simulations.
- Multilevel Queues: Manage process states from
NEWtoTERMINATED. - Advanced Scheduling: Interactive Gantt charts for FCFS, SJF, Priority, and Round Robin.
- Context Switching: Visualizing the overhead and precision of CPU cycles.
- Arm Movement Analysis: Watch disk heads move in real-time across sectors.
- Optimization Algorithms: SCAN, C-SCAN, LOOK, and SSTF implementations.
- Metric Tracking: Seek time and throughput analytics.
- Resource Graphs: Real-time dependency tracking between processes and resources.
- Detection Engine: Bankers Algorithm and Wait-for Graph analysis.
- Automatic Recovery: Intelligent victim selection and rollback mechanisms.
