From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fantastic article
Awesome article!
Does anyone know how/where in Linux (I assume proc, somewhere) I can find the L# cache sizes?
lscpu -C
On my machine, the L2 cache is 256KiB
Is this a typo or are they running on a Pentium 3?
That's a reasonable per-core size, and it doesn't make much sense to add all the cores up if your goal is to fit your data within L2 (like in the article)
