In this work, we cover a broad range of the materials of the operating systems. The topics include basic operating system structures, memory management, storage and filesystem, process scheduling and resource management, virtualization, and distributed systems. We will read the essential papers for each topic. All papers in the reading list is a must read for the students who want to do computer systems related research. The papers in the reading list range from the classic reading, “THE” operating system(CACM 1968), to the recent one such as BarrierFS (FAST 2018).
