Rethinking the System Design Process

December 3, 2022

The system design process can incorporate linear thinking, parallel thinking, or both, depending on the nature of the anticipated system, subsystem, or element of a subsystem. The structure, composition, scale, or focal point of a new/incremental system design incorporates the talents and gifts of the designer in either a top-down or bottom-up design style. Is […]

Interrupts

July 8, 2021

AMD and Intel are updating their processor interrupts, according to Linus Torvalds. In a move that could significantly impact the future of computing, chipmakers AMD and Intel are making changes to the way their processors handle interrupts. Interrupts are signals that alert the processor to the need to temporarily stop its current task and attend to […]
