  2. Time formatting and storage bugs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_formatting_and...

    On 5 January 1975, the 12-bit field that had been used for dates in the TOPS-10 operating system for DEC PDP-10 computers overflowed, in a bug known as "DATE75". The field value was calculated by taking the number of years since 1964, multiplying by 12, adding the number of months since January, multiplying by 31, and adding the number of days since the start of the month; putting 2 12 − 1 ...

  3. Go (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(programming_language)

    For a pair of types K, V, the type map[K]V is the type mapping type-K keys to type-V values, though Go Programming Language specification does not give any performance guarantees or implementation requirements for map types. Hash tables are built into the language, with special syntax and built-in functions.

  4. Memory map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_map

    In virtual memory implementations and memory management units, a memory map refers to page tables or hardware registers, which store the mapping between a certain process's virtual memory layout and how that space relates to physical memory addresses. In native debugger programs, a memory map refers to the mapping between loaded executable(or ...

  5. Cache placement policies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_placement_policies

    This means there are 14 – (6+2) = 6 tag bits, which are stored in tag field to match the address on cache request. Below are memory addresses and an explanation of which cache line they map to: Address 0x0000 (tag - 0b00_0000, index – 0b00_0000, offset – 0b00) corresponds to block 0 of the memory and maps to the set 0 of the cache.

  6. Memory access pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_access_pattern

    In computing, a memory access pattern or IO access pattern is the pattern with which a system or program reads and writes memory on secondary storage.These patterns differ in the level of locality of reference and drastically affect cache performance, [1] and also have implications for the approach to parallelism [2] [3] and distribution of workload in shared memory systems. [4]

  7. Load-link/store-conditional - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-link/store-conditional

    Real implementations of LL/SC do not always succeed even if there are no concurrent updates to the memory location in question. Any exceptional events between the two operations, such as a context switch, another load-link, or even (on many platforms) another load or store operation, will cause the store-conditional to spuriously fail.

  8. mmap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mmap

    File-backed mapping maps an area of the process's virtual memory to files; that is, reading those areas of memory causes the file to be read. It is the default mapping type. Anonymous mapping maps an area of the process's virtual memory not backed by any file, made available via the MAP_ANONYMOUS/MAP_ANON flags. The contents are initialized to ...

  9. Memory footprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_footprint

    Traditionally, low-memory-footprint programs were of importance to running applications on embedded systems where memory would often be a constrained resource [1] – so much so that developers typically sacrificed efficiency (processing speeds) just to make program footprints small enough to fit into the available RAM.
