This document contains midterm exam questions for an Operating Systems course covering four units: 1) operating system services and types of operating systems, 2) threads and process state changes, 3) readers/writers problems and inter-process communication, and 4) deadlock avoidance and inter-process communication mechanisms like semaphores and signals. Students are asked to explain key concepts like memory hierarchy, threads, process control blocks, mutual exclusion, and Linux kernel concurrency mechanisms.
