A system thrashing is often a result of a sudden spike in page demand from a small number of running programs. Swap-token [3] is a lightweight and dynamic thrashing protection mechanism. The basic idea is to set a token in the system, which is randomly given to a process that has page faults when thrashing happens.
Also in August 2023 a new vulnerability called Downfall or Gather Data Sampling was disclosed, [63] [64] [65] affecting Intel CPU Skylake, Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, Ice Lake, Tiger Lake, Amber Lake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, Whiskey Lake, Comet Lake & Rocket Lake CPU families. Intel will release a microcode update for affected products.
In computer science, resource starvation is a problem encountered in concurrent computing where a process is perpetually denied necessary resources to process its work. [1] Starvation may be caused by errors in a scheduling or mutual exclusion algorithm, but can also be caused by resource leaks , and can be intentionally caused via a denial-of ...

RDRAND (for "read random") is an instruction for returning random numbers from an Intel on-chip hardware random number generator which has been seeded by an on-chip entropy source. [1] It is also known as Intel Secure Key Technology , [ 2 ] codenamed Bull Mountain . [ 3 ]
Unlike a local game where the inputs of all players are executed instantly in the same simulation or instance of the game, in an online game there are several parallel simulations (one for each player) where the inputs from their respective players are received instantly, while the inputs for the same frame from other players arrive with a certain delay (greater or lesser depending on the ...
The first round of the new 12-team College Football Playoff format is set to ignite the field on Friday, Dec. 20 with a primetime game. This marks the beginning of an intense postseason, where ...
Processor affinity takes advantage of the fact that remnants of a process that was run on a given processor may remain in that processor's state (for example, data in the cache memory) after another process was run on that processor. Scheduling a CPU-intensive process that has few interrupts to execute on the same processor may improve its ...
