Hello,
I have a Supermicro server with a P4SCI mother board running Debian Sarge 3.1. This is the "dmidecode" output related to RAM info:
RAM speed information is incomplete.. "Current Speed: Unknown", is there anyway/soft to get the speed of installed RAM modules? thanks!!

Hi,
I am looking to use a semaphore for the first time in one of my scripts. I am just wondering if there are any simple examples or tutorials around?
I am a beginner so the simpler the better :)
Thanks

Control two exclusively shared resources(semaphore). The two resources are two files. The producer will write even numbers to one file, and odd numbers to another one. The consumer respectively reads from each file until it gets 5 even numbers and 5 odd numbers.

If I create a semaphore and then I fork a number of child processes then all the child process use that same semaphore.
Since the process address spaces are different rfom each other then how all the child process are able to access the same semaphore?

I was asked to add this piece of code to a c program which I will execute through the shell:
for(long i = 0; i < NITER; i++)
{ sem_wait( &sema);
count++;
sem_post( &sema); }
I didn't get it, which is the critical section ? if it's "count++" how would a thread wake up in order to enter it... (1 Reply)

cpuid
CPUID(4) Linux Programmer's Manual CPUID(4)NAME
cpuid - x86 CPUID access device
DESCRIPTION
CPUID provides an interface for querying information about the x86 CPU.
This device is accessed by lseek(2) or pread(2) to the appropriate CPUID level and reading in chunks of 16 bytes. A larger read size means
multiple reads of consecutive levels.
The lower 32 bits of the file position is used as the incoming %eax, and the upper 32 bits of the file position as the incoming %ecx, the
latter intended for "counting" eax levels like eax=4.
This driver uses /dev/cpu/CPUNUM/cpuid, where CPUNUM is the minor number, and on an SMP box will direct the access to CPU CPUNUM as listed
in /proc/cpuinfo.
This file is protected so that it can be read only by the user root, or members of the group root.
NOTES
The CPUID instruction can be directly executed by a program using inline assembler. However this device allows convenient access to all
CPUs without changing process affinity.
Most of the information in cpuid is reported by the kernel in cooked form either in /proc/cpuinfo or through subdirectories in
/sys/devices/system/cpu. Direct CPUID access through this device should only be used in exceptional cases.
The cpuid driver is not auto-loaded. On modular kernels you might need to use the following command to load it explicitly before use:
$ modprobe cpuid
There is no support for CPUID functions that require additional input registers.
Very old x86 CPUs don't support CPUID.
