  1. Spl (Unix)

    spl is the name for a collection of Unix interrupt priority control functions. SPL is short for Set Priority Level . The functions include splhigh, splserial, splsched, splclock, splstatclock, splvm, spltty, splsofttty, splnet, splbio, splsoftnet, splsoftclock, spllowersoftclock, spl0, splx. The naming goes back to the early days of Unix UNIX on the PDP 11 . The PDP 11 had a relatively simplistic level based interrupt structure. When running at a specific level, only higher priority interrupts were allowed. UNIX named functions for setting the interrupt priority level after the PDP 11 SPL instruction, so initially the functions had names like spl4 and spl7. Later machines came out with interrupt masks, and BSD changed the names to more descriptive names such as splbio for block I O and splhigh block out all interrupts . Greg Lehey , Improving the FreeBSD Symmetric multiprocessing SMP implementation , 2001 USENIX Annual Technical Conference FREENIX This function would set the interrupt masks, while returning their previous contents. The splx routine could then be used to change the masks back.

  1. Warhol worm

    No footnotes date March 2010 A Warhol worm is an extremely rapidly propagating computer worm that spreads as fast as physically possible, infecting all vulnerable machines on the entire Internet in 15 minutes or less. The term is based on Andy Warhol s remark that Fifteen minutes of fame In the future, everyone will have 15 minutes of fame . The analysis was extended by Stuart Staniford to create the flash worm concept. More information on these concepts is in How to 0wn the Internet in your Spare Time by Staniford, Paxson, and Weaver appeared in Usenix Security 2002 . The SQL Slammer worm was the first observed example of a Warhol worm. The mechanism of SQL Slammer s spread used a pseudo random number generator seeded from a system variable to determine which IP address es to attack next. In spite of deficiencies in its implementation, the randomized attack was highly effective. According to a Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis CAIDA coordinated analysis of the SQL Slammer outbreak, its growth followed an exponential growth exponential curve with a doubling time of 8.5 seconds in the early phases of the attack, which was only slowed by the collapse of many networks because of the denial of service caused by SQL Slammer s traffic. 90 of all vulnerable machines were infected within 10 minutes, showing that the original estimate for infection speed was roughly correct.

History It was written by Keith Packard in 2000 and was first released with XFree86 version 4.0.1. Features It provides several rendering operations and also does alpha blending . At present it is primarily used to implement antialiasing antialiased Computer font font s, but is expected to be used to implement drop shadow s and Transparency graphic translucency . Geometric figures are rendered by client side tessellation into either triangle s or trapezoid s. Text is drawn by loading the glyph s into the server and rendering as a group. Performance It is designed to target the 3D graphics capabilities of newer video cards.
