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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
