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.

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.

Mrs.
Sk Abeeda's notes describe the basic concepts of the operating
system. The material includes processes, threads, and scheduling. It
gives a thorough view of such synchronization mechanisms and
deadlocks besides memory management. File and I/O subsystems and
protection mechanisms are also discussed, providing a comprehensive
view of how operating systems work and how they manage resources. In
short, it is a paper to allow one to gain a good grasp of the core
principles of operating systems and to put them into practice.
Lecture notes from Stanford University-cover a wide
spectrum of systems concepts- including threads and processes,
concurrency, and synchronization. The course also discusses several
scheduling methods, virtual memory, I/O, disk management and file
systems, network file systems, and security. Emphasis is placed both
on fundamental theories and leading-edge topics in operating
systems. This can be really useful when one wants to gain a good
grasp of the principles of classical and modern operating systems.
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.
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.
