  2. Berkeley sockets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_sockets

    A Berkeley socket is an application programming interface (API) for Internet domain sockets and Unix domain sockets, used for inter-process communication (IPC). It is commonly implemented as a library of linkable modules. It originated with the 4.2BSD Unix operating system, which was released in 1983.

    C# only allows pointers to so-called native types, i.e. any primitive type (except string), enum, array or struct that is composed only of other native types. Note that pointers are only allowed in code blocks marked 'unsafe'.

  4. Network socket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_socket

    Development of application programs that utilize this API is called socket programming or network programming. Internet socket APIs are usually based on the Berkeley sockets standard. In the Berkeley sockets standard, sockets are a form of file descriptor, due to the Unix philosophy that "everything is a file", and the analogies between sockets ...

  5. Berkeley Packet Filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Packet_Filter

    Linux includes a BPF JIT compiler which is disabled by default. Kernel-mode interpreters for that same virtual machine language are used in raw data link layer mechanisms in other operating systems, such as Tru64 Unix, and for socket filters in the Linux kernel and in the WinPcap and Npcap packet capture mechanism.

    However, the compiler automatically transforms the code so that the list will "silently" receive objects, while the source code only mentions primitive values. For example, the programmer can now write list . add ( 3 ) and think as if the int 3 were added to the list; but, the compiler will have actually transformed the line into list . add ...

  7. Language primitive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_primitive

    In computing, language primitives are the simplest elements available in a programming language. A primitive is the smallest 'unit of processing' available to a programmer of a given machine, or can be an atomic element of an expression in a language. Primitives are units with a meaning, i.e., a semantic value in the language.

  8. Message Passing Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface

    The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a portable message-passing standard designed to function on parallel computing architectures. [1] The MPI standard defines the syntax and semantics of library routines that are useful to a wide range of users writing portable message-passing programs in C, C++, and Fortran.

  9. Not Another Completely Heuristic Operating System - Wikipedia

    That means that you can write programs for Nachos, compile them with a real compiler (an old gcc compiler [2] that produces code for MIPS) and run them. The Nachos kernel instead is compiled to the platform of the Host OS and thus runs natively on the Host OS' CPU. Nachos version 3.4 has been the stable, commonly used version of Nachos for many ...
