OS as a Resource Manager
The concept of an operating system as providing abstractions to application programs is a top-down view.
Alternatively, bottom-up view holds that the OS is there to manage all pieces of a complex system.
Also, A computer consists of a set of resources such as processors, memories, timers, disks, printers and many others.
The Operating System manages these resources and allocates them to specific programs.
As a resource manager, the Operating system provides the controlled allocation of the processors, memories, I/O devices among various programs.
Moreover, Multiple user programs are running at the same time.
The processor itself is a resource and the Operating System decides how much processor time should be given for the execution of a particular user program.
