Operating Systems Three Easy Pieces
Authored by Remzi H. ArpaciDusseau and Andrea C. ArpaciDusseau, 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 concurrencyincluding 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.

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, indepth 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.
