  2. Runlevel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel

    S is sometimes used as a synonym for one of the levels. Only one runlevel is executed on startup; run levels are not executed one after another (i.e. only runlevel 2, 3, or 4 is executed, not more of them sequentially or in any other order). A runlevel defines the state of the machine after boot.

    In Linux, corresponds to a procfs mount. Generally, automatically generated and populated by the system, on the fly. /root: Home directory for the root user. /run: Run-time variable data: Information about the running system since last boot, e.g., currently logged-in users and running daemons.

  5. Process state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_state

    A ready queue or run queue is used in computer scheduling. Modern computers are capable of running many different programs or processes at the same time. However, the CPU is only capable of handling one process at a time. Processes that are ready for the CPU are kept in a queue for "ready" processes. Other processes that are waiting for an ...

    GRUB 1 includes logic to read common file systems at run-time in order to access its configuration file. [15] This gives GRUB 1 ability to read its configuration file from the filesystem rather than have it embedded into the MBR, which allows it to change the configuration at run-time and specify disks and partitions in a human-readable format ...

  7. CPU modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_modes

    Several computer systems introduced in the 1960s, such as the IBM System/360, DEC PDP-6/PDP-10, the GE-600/Honeywell 6000 series, and the Burroughs B5000 series and B6500 series, support two CPU modes; a mode that grants full privileges to code running in that mode, and a mode that prevents direct access to input/output devices and some other hardware facilities to code running in that mode.

    The level of abstraction that has been kept in mind while programming that software in the first place dictates the necessary effort. The relevant term is of the porting target is computer architecture ; it comprises the instruction set (s) and the microarchitecture (s) of the processor (s), at least of the CPU .

  9. Completely Fair Scheduler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completely_Fair_Scheduler

    In contrast to the previous O(1) scheduler used in older Linux 2.6 kernels, which maintained and switched run queues of active and expired tasks, the CFS scheduler implementation is based on per-CPU run queues, whose nodes are time-ordered schedulable entities that are kept sorted by red–black trees. The CFS does away with the old notion of ...
