Latency numbers every programmer should know

Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

How to Kiosk Raspberry Pi
Software for the Project:
Raspbian Wheezy Debian Linux
Win32Disk Imager
The CanaKit comes with a pre-loaded SD card that includes the same version of Debian Wheezy that I used for this project. However, in an effort to get a little more speed out of the system, I used the 95MB/s Sandisk extreme listed above. It seemed to help, but I did not bench mark it beyond observation.
Anyway, lets get down to building a Raspberry Pi Web Kiosk.
Step 0: Get all of the hardware.
Step 1: Get all of the software.
