Kernel Concepts and Architecture - Definitive Reference for Developers and Engineers

Richard Johnson

Maison d'édition: HiTeX Press

Synopsis

"Kernel Concepts and Architecture""Kernel Concepts and Architecture" is an authoritative resource that explores the inner workings of modern operating system kernels, offering a comprehensive and methodical analysis of core design principles. The book provides clear comparisons among kernel architectures—monolithic, microkernel, exokernel, and hybrid—setting the foundation for understanding their respective strengths and historical roles. It delves deeply into essential components such as kernel initialization, modularity, secure privilege separation, interrupt handling, and strategies for supporting multi-core and NUMA systems, highlighting both established practices and emerging approaches to platform abstraction and portability.Through detailed chapters on process and thread management, memory management, device and I/O subsystems, and filesystems, the book illuminates the intricate interplay between key kernel subsystems. Readers will gain insight into advanced process isolation, threading models, context switching, and scheduler designs tailored for both general-purpose and real-time environments. State-of-the-art memory management is thoroughly detailed—from virtual memory abstraction and page table structures to NUMA optimizations and secure memory isolation—as is robust support for modern persistent storage technologies, dynamic device management, and contemporary I/O and networking stacks.Critical topics such as kernel security, scalability, and extensibility are woven throughout, encompassing threat modeling, secure development lifecycles, mandatory access controls, and mechanisms for live patching and real-time diagnostics. Each aspect is backed by practical guidance on debugging, testing, and contributing to open-source kernels, preparing readers to both understand and participate in the evolving landscape of kernel research and development. Designed for advanced students, engineers, and researchers, this book serves as both foundational text and up-to-date reference for mastering the complexities of kernel design and operation.

Green

Suzannah Evans

'My mother was an oak treemy dad a garage mechanicMy father was a field of wheatmy mother the Prime MinisterMy mother was an innkeeperand my father a lonely cactus…'
Suzannah Evans' new pamphlet introduces us to Green, half human, half angry nature spirit. Green serves as a stunt double for our own rage and complicity in nature's destruction. He shows us nature's delights so we may mourn their loss more deeply.
'In this delicious mini-biography of the mythic figure, Suzannah Evans has conjured up a Green Man – now modishly monikered 'Green' – who is witness, listener, accountant, cheerleader, of all and every aspect of nature. An inveterate listicle maker, he can't help but nag us until our attention is drawn back inexorably to the wonder of the world; it's nightmares too. Whether he is supervising extinctions, lavender farming, or picking up plastic litter on the beach, Green is unabashedly a fun, wry and playful personality to spend some time with.' Rishi Dastidar
'Green is a contemporary secular canticle, where matter and living beings are in mischievous, polyphonic dialogue. Channelled through this beyond-human figure, it presents a decentred ecology where "Green isn't rooting for anyone" – but where we must find a way to befriend 'him', without turning him into a 'man'. Earth is lively and re-enchanted, in Green's contemporary and accessible animism. We are invited to accept the majesty of llama memes alongside the 'death drop' of species extinction. Fuck you, Green says to the wasps, stinging him all over, I still love you. A gentle, passionate, good-natured plea, for even the stickiest, ickiest, grossest creatures to be named in Green's – and humanity's – affections.' Caleb Parkin

GPU Guide for Local LLMs -...

Ryan Foster

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The moment you decide to run a large language model on your own hardware, you cross a threshold that most people never even approach. You move from being a passive consumer of AI services to an active participant who owns the technology outright. This shift carries profound implications for privacy, cost, and creative freedom, but it also introduces a problem that the cloud generation rarely thinks about. You now have to choose the hardware that will power your AI, and that choice will determine everything about your experience. 
 
Your choice of GPU will determine everything about your local LLM experience, from which models you can run to how fast they respond to how much your electricity bill increases each month. This book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the tradeoffs between VRAM capacity, memory bandwidth, quantization levels, and total cost of ownership. You will learn how to evaluate hardware based on what you actually need to accomplish, not just what the spec sheet says. 
 
Inside, you'll discover: 
• Why VRAM capacity is the single most important specification for local LLMs 
• How quantization lets you run larger models on modest hardware 
• The NVIDIA advantage and when AMD or Apple Silicon makes sense 
• How to navigate the used and enterprise GPU market 
• Multi-GPU configurations and when they are worth the complexity 
• The hidden costs of running local AI including electricity and maintenance 
• Budget strategies for building your ideal local LLM system 
 
The local AI landscape is evolving faster than any hardware market you have ever seen. This book gives you the mental model to evaluate new hardware for years, regardless of which specific products come and go. Master these principles and make the right choice for your needs.

Hyperplan- Crater city - Mitzpe...

Moshe Katz

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Hyperplan is a bold architectural audiobook about designing cities as living organisms rather than fixed masterplans.  
Through the charged landscape of Mitzpe Ramon and the edge of the desert crater, Moshe Katz develops a new way of thinking about urban life: one that responds to vastness, climate, memory, movement, uncertainty, and human imagination. The desert becomes a teacher. The crater becomes a spatial force.  
 
The city becomes something alive, adaptive, and capable of holding both daily life and infinity. This audiobook is for architects, planners, designers, students, and visionaries who want to move beyond static urban planning into a more responsive and poetic model of city-making.  
 
Hyperplan asks what happens when a town, a landscape, and a horizon are read together, and when architecture begins to design not only buildings but also relationships among people, place, and the larger world.
