High demand Sudden spikes in demand can overwhelm systems that are not designed to handle such loads, leading to outages. These can be caused by hardware failures, or configuration errors, or external factors like cable cuts. Comprehensive training programs and strict change management protocols can help reduce human errors.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. We formulate the problem as a Mixed Integer Program (MIP).

First, a bit of operating-system design context. It is desirable for a program to be able to go to sleep and then wake up a little while later. The answer is hardware interrupts. The OS programs a timer chip that then triggers an interrupt that wakes up the CPU and the OS can then schedule your thread. Decades of madness.
