  2. Kernel panic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_panic

    After recompiling a kernel binary image from source code, a kernel panic while booting the resulting kernel is a common problem if the kernel was not correctly configured, compiled or installed. Add-on hardware or malfunctioning RAM could also be sources of fatal kernel errors during start up, due to incompatibility with the OS or a missing ...

  4. Kernel regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_regression

    Kernel regression. In statistics, kernel regression is a non-parametric technique to estimate the conditional expectation of a random variable. The objective is to find a non-linear relation between a pair of random variables X and Y . In any nonparametric regression, the conditional expectation of a variable relative to a variable may be written:

  5. Kernel (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(statistics)

    In nonparametric statistics, a kernel is a weighting function used in non-parametric estimation techniques. Kernels are used in kernel density estimation to estimate random variables ' density functions, or in kernel regression to estimate the conditional expectation of a random variable. Kernels are also used in time-series, in the use of the ...

  6. Slab allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_allocation

    Slab allocation is a memory management mechanism intended for the efficient memory allocation of objects. In comparison with earlier mechanisms, it reduces fragmentation caused by allocations and deallocations. This technique is used for retaining allocated memory containing a data object of a certain type for reuse upon subsequent allocations ...

  7. Zero-copy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-copy

    Zero-copy programming techniques can be used when exchanging data within a user space process (i.e. between two or more threads, etc.) and/or between two or more processes (see also producer–consumer problem) and/or when data has to be accessed / copied / moved inside kernel space or between a user space process and kernel space portions of ...

  8. Kernel (image processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(image_processing)

    Kernel (image processing) In image processing, a kernel, convolution matrix, or mask is a small matrix used for blurring, sharpening, embossing, edge detection, and more. This is accomplished by doing a convolution between the kernel and an image. Or more simply, when each pixel in the output image is a function of the nearby pixels (including ...

  9. procfs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procfs

    procfs. The proc filesystem ( procfs) is a special filesystem in Unix-like operating systems that presents information about processes and other system information in a hierarchical file-like structure, providing a more convenient and standardized method for dynamically accessing process data held in the kernel than traditional tracing methods ...
