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.

This
paper highlights the major operating system concepts. It also covers
essential functions, the history of OS, with particular services and
an underlying computer system architecture. Major topics include
Process Control Blocks, CPU Scheduling, Threads, further notes on
Inter-process Communication, and several synchronization mechanisms,
such as Peterson's solution, Synchronization Hardware, Semaphores.
Besides these, it addresses highly complex issues such as the
Readers-Writers Problem, including descriptions of both abstract and
concrete solutions used for concurrent resource management.
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.

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 book of Max Hailperin exposes interaction in operating systems and
middleware, but with controlled support mechanisms. It entails threads,
scheduling, synchronization, deadlocks, and atomic transactions. It also has
virtual memory, process protection, persistent storage, networking, and
security. In this regard, it gives insights into both layers of operating
systems and additional software layers, showing a holistic view of controlled
interactions within computing systems.
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.
