Understanding CPU Usage Spikes: Pipeline, Locks, and Optimization

The article explains how CPU pipelines, cache misses, branch‑prediction failures and lock contention cause non‑linear usage spikes, illustrates common pitfalls such as infinite loops, lock‑heavy spinning and catastrophic regex backtracking, and offers practical detection with perf and three rules—avoid busy‑waiting, use cache‑friendly layouts, and limit thread contention.

Why Most Operating Systems Are Written in C

Most operating systems are written in C because its simple, portable syntax, minimal runtime, and direct memory and hardware access let developers write bare‑metal kernels that manage resources efficiently, making C the preferred high‑level language for system programming despite other languages being better for applications.

Understanding the Objective‑C Class Loading Process in dyld and the objc Runtime

This article explains how an iOS/macOS application is launched, detailing the interaction between dyld and the Objective‑C runtime, the initialization steps performed by _objc_init, and the series of functions such as environ_init, static_init, map_images, read_images, and load_images that together realize classes, selectors, protocols and +load methods before main() is called.

Bitwise Optimization Techniques for Counting Set Bits in 32‑Bit Integers

The article explores how bitwise operations can dramatically speed up counting the number of set bits in a 32‑bit integer, presenting a naive O(n) solution and four successive optimizations that reduce runtime from about two seconds to under a tenth of a second, while sharing practical low‑level coding tricks.

Understanding Go's Syscall Mechanism and Runtime Interaction

Go’s syscall mechanism uses assembly‑implemented entry functions like Syscall and Syscall6 to invoke the kernel, while the runtime’s entersyscall and exitsyscall hooks notify the scheduler, allowing P resources to be released during blocking calls and handling privileged low‑level syscalls separately.
