The Linux System Call Execution Model: An Insight
In the first article in this two-part series, published in the August 2024 issue of OSFY, we discussed the role of the C library in system call execution. We talked of how the C library loads system call arguments into architecturespecific registers, generating syscall interrupt, which switches the mode from the user to the kernel. In this final part we will discuss what happens after this — how the kernel handles and executes the system call request on behalf of the user space application, and sends the return value of the system call value back to the user application.

SageMath: Further Explorations in Graph Theory
We have now arrived at the fifth article in our series on SageMath. Recall that SageMath follows Python 3 syntax. Thus, effectively, SageMath is Python on steroids, offering all the power of Python with the additional kick from SageMath specific methods and utilities. We ended the last article in this series with a discussion of directed graphs, yet another variant of graphs that is extremely useful in handling many real-world scenarios. We will begin this article by continuing our discussion on directed graphs and then move on to directed multigraphs.
