Introduction to Operating Systems by Dr. Mark Humphrys

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 Mrs. Sk Abeeda

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.

Operating Systems Lecture Notes by Stanford University

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.

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.

Operating Systems and Middleware Supporting Controlled Interaction

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.

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.
