  2. Windows Management Instrumentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Management...

    WMIC.exe is available on all Windows versions since Windows XP. Typing wmic /? at the command-line displays a complete list of the switches and keywords. In Windows 11 21H2, wmic /? displays "WMIC is deprecated.", followed by the help text (WMIC is still fully functional). In Windows 11 24H2, WMIC is not installed by default, and is available ...

  3. System Management BIOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Management_BIOS

    In computing, the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) specification defines data structures (and access methods) that can be used to read management information produced by the BIOS of a computer. [1] This eliminates the need for the operating system to probe hardware directly to discover what devices are present in the computer.

  4. CPUID - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPUID

    These return the processor brand string in EAX, EBX, ECX and EDX. CPUID must be issued with each parameter in sequence to get the entire 48-byte ASCII processor brand string. [159] It is necessary to check whether the feature is present in the CPU by issuing CPUID with EAX = 80000000h first and checking if the returned value is not less than ...

  5. Shell (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_(computing)

    In computing, a shell is a computer program that exposes an operating system's services to a human user or other programs. In general, operating system shells use either a command-line interface (CLI) or graphical user interface (GUI), depending on a computer's role and particular operation. It is named a shell because it is the outermost layer ...

  6. Intelligent Platform Management Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Platform...

    Using a standardized interface and protocol allows systems-management software based on IPMI to manage multiple, disparate servers. As a message-based, hardware-level interface specification, IPMI operates independently of the operating system (OS) to allow administrators to manage a system remotely in the absence of an operating system or of the system management software.

  7. CPU-Z - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU-Z

    CPU-Z is more comprehensive in virtually all areas compared to the tools provided in the Windows to identify various hardware components, and thus assists in identifying certain components without the need of opening the case; particularly the core revision and RAM clock rate. It also provides information on the system's GPU.

  8. Uptime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uptime

    At the command prompt, this can be done using the wmic command: C:\> wmic os get lastbootuptime LastBootUpTime 20110508161751.822066+060 The timestamp uses the format yyyymmddhhmmss.nnn , so in the above example, the computer last booted up on 8 May 2011 at 16:17:51.822.

  9. Minimal instruction set computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_instruction_set...

    A MISC CPU cannot have zero instructions as that is a zero instruction set computer. A MISC CPU cannot have one instruction as that is a one instruction set computer. [4] The implemented CPU instructions should by default not support a wide set of inputs, so this typically means an 8-bit or 16-bit CPU.
