Whois & Analysis for hwinfo.com

lspci is a command on Unix-like operating systems that prints ("lists") detailed information about all PCI buses and devices in the system.

It is based on a common portable library libpci which offers access to the PCI configuration space on a variety of operating systems.

Open-source hardware (OSH), consists of physical artifacts of technology designed and offered by the open design movement.

Both free and open-source software (FOSS) as well as open-source hardware is created by this open-source culture movement and applies a like concept to a variety of components.

It is sometimes, thus, referred to as FOSH (free and open-source hardware).

The term usually means that information about the hardware is easily discerned so that others can make it - coupling it closely to the maker movement.

Hardware design (i.e. mechanical drawings, schematics, bills of material, PCB layout data, HDL source code and integrated circuit layout data), in addition to the software that drives the hardware, are all released under free/libre terms.

The original sharer gains feedback and potentially improvements on the design from the FOSH community.

There is now significant evidence that such sharing can drive a high return on investment for investors.

In computer science, real-time computing (RTC), or reactive computing describes hardware and software systems subject to a "real-time constraint", for example from event to system response.

Real-time programs must guarantee response within specified time constraints, often referred to as "deadlines".

The correctness of these types of systems depends on their temporal aspects as well as their functional aspects.

Real-time responses are often understood to be in the order of milliseconds, and sometimes microseconds.

A system not specified as operating in real time cannot usually guarantee a response within any timeframe, although actual or expected response times may be given.

The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.
