Understanding Process Management in Linux: From Von Neumann Architecture to OS Principles

Von Neumann Architecture Concept of Von Neumann Architecture The Von Neumann architecture, also known as the Princeton architecture, defines a computer design where program instructions and data share the same memory space. This model was proposed by mathematician John von Neumann, who outlined three fundamental principles for computer construc ...

Linux User-Space and Kernel-Space Communication Methods

System Call: This is the most common method. A user-space program requests the kernel to perform a specific action through the system call interface (e.g., open, read, write, fork). System calls serve as the bridge between user-space and kernel-space, allowing user programs to request kernel services. Interrupts: Interrupts include soft interru ...
