According to IEEE Std 829-1998, Software Testing is defined as “the process of analyzing a software item to detect the differences between existing and required conditions (i.e. defects) and evaluating the features of the software items.” Today, testing is imperative and there is no way we can skip it.

Testing for mishaps you can predict is essential. Chaos engineering is a method of testing distributed software that deliberately introduces failure and faulty scenarios to verify its resilience in the face of random disruptions. Practitioners subject software to a controlled, simulated crisis to test for unstable behavior.

The division by a power of two ( / (2 N )) can be implemented as a right shift if we are working with unsigned integers, which compiles to single instruction: that is possible because the underlying hardware uses a base 2.

The answer is hardware interrupts. CPU power efficiency is strongly tied to how long the CPU can stay asleep ( 8+ ms is apparently a good number ), and random wakeups work against that. If multiple threads can synchronize or coalesce their timer waits then the system becomes more power efficient. It’s time to do science.
