Introduction to Operating Systems for GATE CS

GATE OS marks concentrate on CPU scheduling numericals, synchronization/deadlock, paging and replacement, and disk scheduling. This chapter is the vocabulary map.

What an OS does

Manages CPU, memory, and I/O; multiplexes processes; provides files and protection. Kernel vs user mode matters when questions mention traps/syscalls.

Where to study next

  1. Process Management — scheduling charts
  2. Memory Management — page faults / Belady
  3. File Systems — allocation + disk arm
