    In computing, a devicetree (also written device tree) is a data structure describing the hardware components of a particular computer so that the operating system's kernel can use and manage those components, including the CPU or CPUs, the memory, the buses and the integrated peripherals.

  3. Multiseat configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiseat_configuration

    A "seat" consists of all hardware devices assigned to a specific workplace at which one user sits at and interacts with the computer. It consists of at least one graphics device (graphics card or just an output (e.g. HDMI/VGA/DisplayPort port) and the attached monitor/video projector) for the output and a keyboard and a mouse for the input. It ...

  4. Direct Rendering Manager - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager

    The Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) is a subsystem of the Linux kernel responsible for interfacing with GPUs of modern video cards.DRM exposes an API that user-space programs can use to send commands and data to the GPU and perform operations such as configuring the mode setting of the display.

  5. udev - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udev

    udev (userspace /dev) is a device manager for the Linux kernel.As the successor of devfsd and hotplug, udev primarily manages device nodes in the /dev directory. At the same time, udev also handles all user space events raised when hardware devices are added into the system or removed from it, including firmware loading as required by certain devices.

  6. ACPI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACPI

    Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an open standard that operating systems can use to discover and configure computer hardware components, to perform power management (e.g. putting unused hardware components to sleep), auto configuration (e.g. Plug and Play and hot swapping), and status monitoring.

  7. mdadm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mdadm

    The program was used to monitor multipath devices, and is usually started at boot time as a service, and afterwards running as a daemon. Enterprise storage requirements often include the desire to have more than one way to talk to a single disk drive so that in the event of some failure to talk to a disk drive via one controller, the system can ...

  8. pstree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pstree

    pstree is a Linux command that shows the running processes as a tree [1] [2] [3]. It is used as a more visual alternative to the ps command. The root of the tree is either init or the process with the given pid. It can also be installed in other Unix systems. In BSD systems, a similar output is created using ps -d, in Linux ps axjf [4] produces ...

  9. Device mapper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_mapper

    The device mapper is a framework provided by the Linux kernel for mapping physical block devices onto higher-level virtual block devices. It forms the foundation of the logical volume manager (LVM), software RAIDs and dm-crypt disk encryption, and offers additional features such as file system snapshots .
