So what is it?

This repository contains study notes and mind maps covering the core subject areas tested in China's national graduate school entrance exam for computer science, commonly referred to as exam 408. The 408 exam covers four mandatory topics: computer organization and architecture, operating systems, data structures, and computer networks. This repository covers all four, plus two additional subjects: databases and information security. The notes are based on specific Chinese textbooks. Computer organization follows the fifth edition by Wang Aiying, operating systems follows the fourth edition by Tang Xiaodan, data structures follows the Wang Dao study guide, and computer networks follows the seventh edition by Xie Xiren. The databases section references the fifth edition by Wang Shan and Sa Shixuan, and information security references a translated edition of a textbook by Stallings. The primary format is mind maps, which are branching visual diagrams that organize information hierarchically. They are useful for memorization and for getting an overview of how topics relate to each other within a subject. The repository links to rendered versions of these mind maps and an online reading site. A mirror on the Chinese platform Gitee is also available for users who find GitHub download speeds slow from within China. The content is in Chinese and appears to be created by a single author for personal study use. The README notes that the material is for learning reference only and should not be used for commercial purposes. Copyright for modifications or adaptations is not formally licensed at this time.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I'm studying for China's 408 CS graduate exam. Based on a mind map covering data structures, explain the key differences between AVL trees and red-black trees in plain language.
Prompt 2
I'm reviewing operating systems concepts from Tang Xiaodan's textbook. Explain process scheduling algorithms (FCFS, SJF, Round Robin) with simple examples I can remember for an exam.
Prompt 3
Summarize the key topics in computer networks I need to know for the 408 exam, focus on OSI layers, TCP/IP, and common protocols.
Prompt 4
Give me 10 flashcard-style Q&A pairs for the computer organization topics covered in the 408 exam, based on Wang Aiying's fifth edition textbook.
