In the 2020's, this refers to writing down everything you know, usually in some graph structured way.
This is somewhat the centerpiece of Ciro Santilli's documentation superpowers: dumping your brain into text form, which he has been doing through Ciro Santilli's website.
This is also the closest one can get to immortality pre full blown transhumanism.
Ciro's still looking for the restore this plaintext backup on a new body though.
It is a good question, how much of your knowledge you would be able to give to others with text and images. It is likely almost all of it, except for coordination/signal processing tasks.
His passion for braindumping like this is a big motivation behind Ciro Santilli's OurBigBook.com work.

The interface is a bit annoying, but the tool is really cool.
100 cycles of matrixprod:
stress-ng -c1 --cpu-ops 100 --cpu-method matrixprod
man stress-ng gives the list of possible --cpu-method. It documents matrixprod as:
matrix product of two 128 × 128 matrices of double floats. Testing on 64 bit x86 hardware shows that this is provides a good mix of memory, cache and floating point operations and is probably the best CPU method to use to make a CPU run hot.
If you don't specify the --cpu-method it apparently loops through every method one by one.
Limit time to 1s instead of limiting cycles:
stress-ng -c1 -t1 --cpu-method matrixprod
