What Are Interrupts? Their Role in Computer Systems

When I first learned about how computers work behind the scenes, the concept of interrupts blew my mind. At first glance, it seemed like just another technical term. However, as I dug deeper, I realized interrupts play a key role in how efficiently a computer operates. They help the processor react quickly to unexpected events. As a result, systems can multitask, respond in real-time, and recover from errors more effectively. In this post, I’ll walk you through what interrupts are, how they work, and why they matter so much in modern computing.

Capacity Management of ITIL Service Design in Action

ITIL Capacity management is crucial for businesses aiming to optimize their IT resources. It spans business, service, and component capacity management throughout the service lifecycle. In my experience, the key to success lies in addressing capacity early, specifically during the design stage. Let me walk you through why that matters and how it works. What

What Is a Bus in Computing? Let Me Break It Down Simply

When I first heard the term “bus” in computing, I thought of public transport. Ironically, the comparison isn’t too far off. Just like buses carry passengers between stops, a data bus carries information between components in a computer. So, what is a bus? It’s a set of electrical lines that allow data, addresses, and control signals to travel across different parts of a computer. Every single connection matters. After all, without a bus, your CPU couldn’t talk to memory, and nothing would work.

Understanding Human Behavior through the Lens of Requirements Engineering

As a Requirements Engineer, my job is to bridge disciplines, ensuring that the software we develop meets the needs of users and stakeholders. However, recent conflicts among Requirements Engineers have prompted me to delve into interdisciplinary fields like cognitive psychology. Understanding human behavior is crucial for effective requirements elicitation and management. Join me as I explore the insights gained from cognitive psychology and how they can enhance our approach to requirements engineering. Learn about the realtion of human behavior and requirements engineering.
