From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

IPC standing for Inter Process Communication in this instance.
What else would it stand for?
It's instructions per clock/cycle in a hardware context, because you can't use clock speeds to compare performance between processors.
That is true...

I find it annoying when an article contains ATANE.
Clear case of DOTA.
