  2. C signal handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_signal_handling

    In the C Standard Library, signal processing defines how a program handles various signals while it executes. A signal can report some exceptional behavior within the program (such as division by zero), or a signal can report some asynchronous event outside the program (such as someone striking an interactive attention key on a keyboard).

  3. Signal (IPC) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(IPC)

    Signal handling is vulnerable to race conditions. As signals are asynchronous, another signal (even of the same type) can be delivered to the process during execution of the signal handling routine. The sigprocmask(2) call can be used to block and unblock delivery of signals. Blocked signals are not delivered to the process until unblocked.

  4. Reset vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reset_vector

    The reset vector for the Intel 80286 processor is at physical address FFFFF0h (16 bytes below 16 MB). The value of the CS register at reset is F000h with the descriptor base set to FF0000h and the value of the IP register at reset is FFF0h to form the segmented address FF0000h:FFF0h, which maps to physical address FFFFF0h in real mode.

  5. Power-on reset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_reset

    One of the issues with using an RC network to generate a PoR pulse is the sensitivity of the R and C values to the power-supply ramp characteristics. When the power supply ramp is rapid, the R and C values can be calculated so that the time to reach the switching threshold of the Schmitt trigger is enough to apply a long enough reset pulse.

  6. Signal conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_conditioning

    In electronics and signal processing, signal conditioning is the manipulation of an analog signal in such a way that it meets the requirements of the next stage for further processing. In an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) application, signal conditioning includes voltage or current limiting and anti-aliasing filtering .

  7. Control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_theory

    Jan C. Willems Introduced the concept of dissipativity, as a generalization of Lyapunov function to input/state/output systems. The construction of the storage function, as the analogue of a Lyapunov function is called, led to the study of the linear matrix inequality (LMI) in control theory. He pioneered the behavioral approach to mathematical ...

  8. System on a chip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip

    Apple M1 system on a chip A system on a chip from Broadcom in a Raspberry Pi. A system on a chip or system-on-chip (SoC / ˌ ˈ ɛ s oʊ s iː /; pl. SoCs / ˌ ˈ ɛ s oʊ s iː z /) is an integrated circuit that integrates most or all components of a computer or electronic system.

  9. Process group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_group

    In a POSIX-conformant operating system, a process group denotes a collection of one or more processes. [1] Among other things, a process group is used to control the distribution of a signal; when a signal is directed to a process group, the signal is delivered to each process that is a member of the group.
