Process scheduler

From DALL-E with some prompting
The image highlights the essential mechanisms of process scheduling to share a single CPU core resource among multiple processes. The scheduler determines the order of processes to be executed based on priority and changes the current running process through context switching. Additionally, it promptly addresses exceptions requiring urgent processing through interrupts and real-time handling. This scheduling approach ensures efficient allocation of CPU resources and stable operation of the system.

JIT(for eBPF) at Linux K6

The image underscores the role of Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation in the execution process of eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) code within Linux Kernel 6. Text code is transformed into binary code via a compiler, followed by verification for security and stability. Once verified, the code is loaded into memory for execution. JIT compilation plays a crucial part in this process by optimizing the code in real-time for enhanced performance. eBPF and JIT compilation have been integrated into Linux Kernel 6, serving as fundamental features that bolster performance, security, flexibility,
