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.

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.

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.
