Introduction to Operating Systems Lectures
Andrew H. Fagg's study note is an introduction to operating system internals. Aspects included are OS fundamentals, C programming, bit-wise operators, file systems, and file descriptors. The paper also tends toward the topic of processes, threads, and synchronization with all-important aspects about OS functionality and implementation from a practical viewpoint. This paper attempts to provide a basic understanding of operating systems and their components.

The notes go into great detail of how operating systems have evolved and what kinds of operating systems exist today. The content ranges from basic-level ideas such as system calls, OS structure, and process management to important topics such as memory management, virtual memory, page replacement algorithms, and the theory that describes how deadlocks work, including detection, recovery, avoidance, and prevention. Both basic concepts and more advanced practice issues are found in the discussion of multiprocessor systems, I/O hardware and software principles, and file system management, including implementation and optimization strategies. This document proves to be very informative in terms of grasping the minute details of modern operating systems.

Operating Systems Three Easy Pieces
Authored by Remzi H. Arpaci-Dusseau and Andrea C. Arpaci-Dusseau, the book provides a full overview of operating systems. It begins with virtualization and the basic process/needs and scheduling then transitions into memory virtualization and management that includes paging and segmentation. The book looks at concurrency-including locks, condition variables, and semaphores. Other areas included are I/O devices, RAID configurations, file system implementation, crash consistency, and distributed systems. This is a comprehensive book ideal for anyone looking for essential knowledge as well as advanced information on operating systems.

Lecture Notes on Operating Systems by Marvin Solomon
Marvin Solomon's study notes outline the main topics of an operating system, which include discussion on Java-related matters, processes, synchronization, and memory management. Added to this is information about disk management, file systems, and protection and security. This is a small brief report with references in seeking knowledge for the essence of how an operating system should be managed and work.

Operating Systems An introduction to Unix, and Operating Systems Theory
The notes by Hugh Murrell provide a starting point in UNIX and operating system theory. Key topics include: UNIX file systems, networking, and process synchronisation. Inter-process communication under UNIX; including deadlock scenarios and concepts of virtual memory and paging are also covered. A good resource to explain both UNIX-specific features, as well as general operating system principles.

Operating System by Bighnaraj Naik
The Notes by Bighnaraj Naik hence, provide a directed discussion of operating systems, beginning with their history, and various types. The paper deals with critical services to an operating system in connection with management of processes, the idea of process synchronization, in-depth process management and scheduling, tools and constructs used in processing concurrency, detection of deadlocks, and prevention techniques. The paging technique and virtual memory management form the base of dynamic resource allocation techniques. File systems have also been discussed; they classified into logical and physical file systems with differences in their allocation strategies, so it has provided a profound insight into the theoretical and practical sides of the operating system.
