The Operating System book is designed to help you understand the fundamental concepts, structure, and functions of operating systems. The main
purpose of the book is to present a clear and complete picture of the nature and functions of modern-day operating systems. The book is intended to
familiarize its readers with the architecture, design principles, and implementation issues of modern operating systems. Examples have been provided to
demonstrate various concepts. This book is ideal for computer professionals who are looking forward to develop their career in information technology
and networking.

In this book, you will learn about

Operating systems fundamentals: Generations of operating systems, types of operating systems, OS service, System calls, machine, OS structure: Layered, Monolithic,
Microkernel
Process management: Processes, process relationship, process states, process state transitions, process control block, threads and their types, multithreads
Process scheduling: Scheduling objectives, types of schedulers, scheduling criteria: CPU utilization, throughput, turnaround time, waiting time, response time
Scheduling algorithms: Pre-emptive and Non pre-emptive, FCFS, SJF, RR, Multiprocessor scheduling and its types
Interprocess communication: Race conditions, critical section, mutual exclusion, hardware solution, strict alternation, Petersons Solution, The Producer Consumer
problem, semaphores, event counters, monitors, message passing, classical IPC problems: Readers & Writer problem, Dinning Philosopher problem
Deadlocks: Deadlock characteristics, deadlock prevention, deadlock avoidance: bankers algorithm, deadlock detection and recovery
Memory management: Logical and physical address map, contiguous memory allocation fixed and variable partition, internal and external fragmentation and
compaction, Paging: principle of operation page allocation, hardware support for paging, protection and sharing
Virtual memory: Hardware and control structures, locality of reference, page fault, working set, dirty page/dirty bit, demand paging, page replacement policies: Optimal
(OPT) , First in First Out (FIFO), Second Chance (SC), Not recently used (NRU) and Least Recently used (LRU)
I/O management: Principles of I/O hardware: I/O devices, device controllers, direct memory access, principles of I/O software: goals of interrupt handlers, device drivers,
device independent I/O software, secondary-storage structure: disk structure, disk scheduling algorithm
File management: File concept, access methods, file types, file operation, directory structure, file System structure, allocation methods (contiguous, linked, and indexed),
free-space management (bit vector, linked list, and grouping), directory implementation (linear list, hash table), efficiency and performance.
Security and protection: Security environment, design principles of security, user authentication, protection mechanism: protection domain, Access Control List
Unix/Linux operating system: Development of Unix/Linux, role and function of kernel, System calls, elementary Linux command and shell programming, directory
structure, system administration
Case study: Linux and Windows operating system
