On newer kernels (since 2.6.12 [7]), it is possible to have more fine-grained control over how the magic SysRq key can be used. [8] On these machines, the number written to /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq can be 0, 1, or a number greater than 1 which is a bitmask indicating which features to allow.
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 ...
The name C10k is a numeronym for concurrently handling ten thousand connections. [2] Handling many concurrent connections is a different problem from handling many requests per second : the latter requires high throughput (processing them quickly), while the former does not have to be fast, but requires efficient scheduling of connections.
Support for allowing only signed kernels to be booted through kexec was merged into version 3.17 of the Linux kernel mainline, which was released on October 5, 2014. [3] This disallows a root user to load arbitrary code via kexec and execute it, complementing the UEFI secure boot and in-kernel security mechanisms for ensuring that only signed ...
Kubuntu (/ k ʊ ˈ b ʊ n t uː / kuu-BUUN-too) [3] is an official flavor of the Ubuntu operating system that uses the KDE Plasma Desktop instead of the GNOME desktop environment. As part of the Ubuntu project, Kubuntu uses the same underlying systems.
The cron command-line utility is a job scheduler on Unix-like operating systems.Users who set up and maintain software environments use cron to schedule jobs [1] (commands or shell scripts), also known as cron jobs, [2] [3] to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals. [4]
The scheduler is an operating system module that selects the next jobs to be admitted into the system and the next process to run. Operating systems may feature up to three distinct scheduler types: a long-term scheduler (also known as an admission scheduler or high-level scheduler), a mid-term or medium-term scheduler, and a short-term scheduler.
gOS or "good OS" was an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution created by Good OS LLC, a Los Angeles-based corporation.Its CIO David Liu described that after meeting Enlightenment and open source people, he realized that his dream to bring Web 2.0 applications into mainstream use could be achieved by creating a Linux distribution that made it easy for users to access Google and Web 2.0 applications.
