How many Context Switches is “normal”? This depends very much on the type of application you run. If you've got applications which are very trigger-happy WRT syscalls you can expect to see high amounts of context switching. If most of your applicatio…
1 Introduction This part of the reference manual covers the higher-dimensional kernel. The kernel contains objects of constant size, such as point, vector, direction, line, ray, segment, circle. With each type comes a set of functions which can be ap…
1 Introduction CGAL, the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library, is written in C++ and consists of three major parts. The first part is the kernel, which consists of constant-size non-modifiable geometric primitive objects and operations on these…
## Linux kernel memory-faq.txt What is some existing documentation on Linux memory management? Ulrich Drepper (the ex-glibc maintainer) wrote an article series called "What every programmer should know about memory": Part 1: http://lwn.net/Artic…

In recent years, Kernel methods have received major attention, particularly due to the increased popularity of the Support Vector Machines. Kernel functions can be used in many applications as they provide a simple bridge from linearity to non-linear…

虽然这里的Arm Linux kernel前面加上了Android,但实际上还是和普遍Arm linux kernel启动的过程一样的,这里只是结合一下Android的Makefile,讲一下bootimage生成的一个过程.这篇文档主要描述bootimage的构造,以及kernel真正执行前的解压过程. 在了解这些之前我们首先需要了解几个名词,这些名词定义在/Documentation/arm/Porting里面,这里首先提到其中的几个,其余几个会在后面kernel的执行过程中讲述: 1)ZT…

A context switch (also sometimes referred to as a process switch or a task switch) is the switching of the CPU (central processing unit) from one process or thread to another. A process (also sometimes referred to as a task) is an executing (i.e., ru…
