BogoMips (from "bogus" and MIPS) is a crude measurement of CPU speed made by the Linux kernel when it boots to calibrate an internal busy-loop. [1] An often-quoted definition of the term is "the number of million times per second a processor can do absolutely nothing".
The information often includes usage status for the CPU sockets, expansion slots (including AGP, PCI and ISA) and memory module slots, and the list of I/O ports (including serial, parallel and USB). [4] [5] Decoded DMI tables for various computer models are collected in a public GitHub repository. [6] For Dell systems there is a libsmbios ...
The program produces an ordered list of running processes selected by user-specified criteria, and updates it periodically. Default ordering is by CPU usage, and only the top CPU consumers are shown. top shows how much processing power and memory are being used, as well as other information about the running processes.
Rockchip provides open source software on GitHub [2] and maintains a wiki Linux SDK website [3] to offer free downloads of SoC hardware documents and software development resources as well as third-party development kit info. The chipsets available are RK3399, RK3288, RK3328 and RK3036.
DM&P maintained an embedded Linux distribution customized to use the SoCs features. [6] Other operating systems may work depending on the SoC model, including various RTOS systems such as QNX and VxWorks, Linux distributions, [7] FreeBSD [8] or various versions of Microsoft Windows systems such as Windows Embedded Compact or Windows IoT.
coreboot, formerly known as LinuxBIOS, [5] is a software project aimed at replacing proprietary firmware (BIOS or UEFI) found in most computers with a lightweight firmware designed to perform only the minimum number of tasks necessary to load and run a modern 32-bit or 64-bit operating system.
The proc filesystem (procfs) is a special filesystem in Unix-like operating systems that presents information about processes and other system information in a hierarchical file-like structure, providing a more convenient and standardized method for dynamically accessing process data held in the kernel than traditional tracing methods or direct access to kernel memory.
Prime95, also distributed as the command-line utility mprime for FreeBSD and Linux, is a freeware application written by George Woltman.It is the official client of the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS), a volunteer computing project dedicated to searching for Mersenne primes.
