Can Wachy be used to trace kernel code as well? And would you need to do anything specific to get that to work? (How would Wachy find the kernel sources?) I was thinking this would…

Since you seem to know, what company would one go to for fabricating a 500nm chip these days at that price?

Does the PhantomData type in Rust do what you want? Or are you talking about something slightly different? https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/phantom-data.html https://doc.rust-lang…

AMD’s primary advertised improvement here is the use of a TAGE predictor, although it is only used for non-L1 fetches. This might not sound too impressive: AMD is still using a has…

Does anyone know where I could get more information on Tools?

Yes, but for the previous few generations of transistor manufacturing, transistors' power consumption has not scaled down as well as their size. This is known as the failure of Den…

But I was under the impression that Linux isn't suitable as a real-time operating system (RTOS)[1] (which Microsoft may very well not require for their IoT systems). So the Linux F…

I was under the impression that the previous discussion got flagged because it was behind a paywall. Don't despair, I think we do care. :)

Neural networks aside, machine learning is often used for implementing prediction mechanisms in CPUs. Good examples of prediction mechanisms are: - Branch Predictor - Cache Replace…

They mentioned in the article that the full cache of each die is available. Additionally, EPYC uses the same dies used in Ryzen. I'd look at earlier articles for Ryzen to determine…

Even when discussing CPU caches, there are policies that can severely outperform LRU, specifically at the Last-Level Cache (LLC). LLCs often are exposed to access streams where the…

WiFi Direct differs from WiFi Awareness in respect to the presence of the access point. In WiFi direct, there is no access point, and the devices connect directly to each other. Wi…

I think parametric design could be used here, but to what extent that would be useful, I'm not sure.

This is an interesting idea that has been explored before in VMS, an old operating system I believe competed with UNIX. VMS had a feature called CLE (Common Language Enviornment) […

USB-C and USB-3 aren't mutually exclusive. One describes the shape (Type-A, Type-C) of the connector. The other describes the speeds supported by the port (USB2, USB3, USB3.1).

The raspberry pi 3 only runs in 32-bit mode right now [1]. There is no 64-bit kernel for it currently. [1]: https://www.linux.com/news/raspberry-pi-3-still-essentially-...

Rip the ISO from the discs, then load them up in Dolphin on your Mac.

This incorrect. While Gecko is not in its entirety going away, components of Gecko will be replaced with Servo's code. Such is detailed at Servo's roadmap. https://github.com/servo…

The compiler for Rust still needs work in order to support the partial compiling required for typical IDE.

Just to clarify, unless you're a student/educator, Fusion360 is only free for 30 days....after that you have to pay.

Couldn't they force the hardware/software modifications when people go in for yearly inspections?

Language feature-wise, I think python 3 has very little complained about it. The chief complaints about python I hear are anything to do with packaging software and multi threading…

Amen, for linux's copy-to-ram! I use the Slitaz distribution on my old Compaq computer from 1999, and wow! Even with only 384 MB of RAM, the system is blazing fast, all thanks to c…
