This document discusses operating systems and CPU scheduling algorithms. It begins by defining an operating system and providing examples of common operating systems. It then describes different types of operating systems including mainframe, batch processing, multiprogramming, time-sharing/multitasking, multiprocessor, distributed, and desktop systems. The document also discusses various CPU scheduling algorithms such as first-come first-served, priority-based, round robin, and shortest-job-first scheduling. Examples are provided to calculate average wait times for processes under different scheduling algorithms.
