Lecture Notes On Operating System by Sandeep
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.

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.

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 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.
