1. The document discusses Linux kernel page reclamation.
2. Direct reclaim is when the caller performs reclamation directly, while daemon reclaim uses kswapd processes.
3. Daemon reclaim involves kswapd processes waking up and using kswapd_shrink_zone() to reclaim pages until all zones are above the high watermark. This helps balance memory usage across zones.
NVIDIA GPUs contain functional units called Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs) that execute threads in groups. Blocks of threads are scheduled on SMs, and multiple blocks can be assigned to an SM depending on resources. Grid dimensions that are divisible by the number of SMs can maximize SM utilization, while block dimensions that are multiples of 32 can maximize utilization of warps of 32 threads that SMs execute as a group.
1. The booting process begins with the BIOS performing checks and finding a bootable device from which to load an operating system. It loads the master boot record which contains the boot loader like GRUB.
2. The boot loader loads the Linux kernel from the hard disk into memory and passes control to it. The kernel then launches the init process to perform startup tasks and launch other processes.
3. Init controls the runlevels which determine the system configuration and processes that are running. It is responsible for system startup and shutdown processes.
A bootloader loads an operating system after hardware tests. It begins by initializing hardware and loading the BIOS. The BIOS then loads the master boot record from the disk, which loads secondary bootloaders. These load the operating system by accessing memory in both real and protected modes. The boot process involves loading kernel files and an initial ramdisk to start processes and mount the full filesystem.
The document outlines the system configuration for a computer, including the hardware of a Pentium III processor, 256MB RAM, 20GB hard drive, 1.44MB floppy drive, standard keyboard, and SVGA monitor.

BIOS performs system integrity checks at startup and loads the boot loader GRUB. GRUB displays a menu to select the operating system and kernel version, and passes control to the kernel. The kernel mounts the root file system and executes the init process, which then loads the default run level configured in /etc/inittab to start processes for multi-user mode with a full network or graphical user interface depending on the level.
This document discusses CPU modes in assembly programming. It covers real mode which has a 1MB memory limit and uses segment:offset addressing. Protected mode is then introduced, which enables full CPU features, new segmentation addressing, paging, and memory protection. The document provides an example of code to jump from real mode to protected mode using a bootsector that loads a file called pm_setup before switching to protected mode.
The embedded Linux boot process involves multiple stages beginning with ROM code that initializes hardware and loads the first stage bootloader, X-Loader. The X-Loader further initializes hardware and loads the second stage bootloader, U-Boot, which performs additional initialization and loads the Linux kernel. The kernel then initializes drivers and mounts the root filesystem to launch userspace processes. Booting can occur from flash memory, an eMMC/SD card, over a network using TFTP/NFS, or locally via UART/USB depending on the boot configuration and available devices.

This document discusses various components of a computer system including magnetic drum memory, optical drives like CD-ROM and DVD-ROM, hard disks, video display units or monitors, and printers. It provides details on the read/write speeds of CD and DVD drives, the storage capacities of CDs and DVDs of different types, and the functioning of cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors and different types of printers like dot matrix and daisy wheel printers.
Disk performance is critical for overall system performance as disks are much slower than other components. Two key techniques for improving disk performance are block caching and block read ahead. Block caching stores frequently accessed disk blocks in faster RAM. Block read ahead preemptively loads sequential blocks from disk into cache before they are requested. Example file systems discussed include CD-ROM (using ISO 9660), MS-DOS (using FAT16), and UNIX (using a hierarchical structure with everything treated as a file).

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
