He mentioned in spots GCC 9.1 was used, albeit still missing parameters. This is odd to test considering how old it is and how the .1 release is not the last bugfix release for the…

There are a number of RTOS’s out there now, both proprietary (e.g. VxWorks) and OSS (Zephyr) that support A-series chips with an MMU, and can operate with a single (kernel) context…

That philosophy extends to the kernel only - there are multiple other dependencies for running programs that may not have a stable API/ABI, or the same compatibility approach. Shar…

I’m going to bet the opposite - no school is so flush with cash they can pay a 3x premium per laptop for students thet offers the same functionality. This seems like a misguided ap…

Not anymore for all practical purposes, but it once did for the very old 10Base-2 standard for Ethernet over coaxial cable. This is practically why the old MII Ethernet PHY interfa…

Can you list which ARM cores you know of that include an IOMMU? I’m personally unaware of any, as that is typically bundled as a separate IP package that must be integrated separat…

No GPS sat's are in GEO - they're all in MEO, which is about half as high, though comparative in terms of dV requirement.

Two things: 1. A GPS satellite is in a very high orbit compared to LEO, and so all stages were requested to burn to completion, to ensure the satellite has enough margin to reach t…

Those (Anandtech) benchmarks were performed on Windows. All threadripper benchmarks on Linux show that it is nowhere near as awful a performer as on Windows and most compute worklo…
