Take a look at this article here regarding the XNU kernel. Is there anything we could possible draw from its implementation? It seems its scheduler was enhanced to be aware of heterogenous cores alongside the debut of Apple Silicon. Unfortunately I don't have the chops the sift through darwin code.
I think Intel maintains a bunch of stuff in their technical library. I was able to find a few PDFs about it; but i'm not sure if they're programmer level.
The review mentions the Ryzen 9 3900X; isn't Zen a homogenous architecture? I wonder how they're going to handle ULEs scheduling with P/E cores on modern processors/SoCs. FreeBSD being a multi-purpose OS; I also wonder how the kernel will determine which type of workload will run on either core...
Has the kernel ever been optimized for architectures like big.LITTLE, DynamIQ, or even Intel P/E Cores? I've noticed the RPI 5/Orange Pi 5 uses the Cortex A76; a successor to the A75 which introduced DynamIQ, but I'm not sure where FreeBSD stands with this type of architecture, or how well it...
Interesting.
It seems the X.org maintainers themselves have been outright gatekeeping patches and improvements from contributors, for the past four years. Insane. Things make more sense now.
I’m really looking forward to this port.
That should work. I believe there’s current work on graphical installer by the committers; I wonder if they'd include an install option like mentioned above. I think it’d be a good compromise between keeping vanilla clean and ease of configuration for people.
You know it’s cold outside, when...
Xorg should be kept out of base, along with upstream Linux graphics stuff. Having “meta releases” should probably be maintained within a separate project or SIG. The way Ubuntu does it IMO.
Cart before the horse way of thinking. Code is a prerequisite to all of this.
This statement alone contradicts the rest your post. Forking a display server is not some mundane task.
I'm a fan of the simple UI of GNOME Shell; but the UX is a usability nightmare. Other than the Dock/Taskbar UX from mainstream desktops; gnome2 was probably the only desktop that set itself apart with its dual panel UX. Thankfully we have a thriving community around a fork of it. gnome2 + nimbus...
Can you spell Singularity? I certainly wouldn't want chips any where inside of my body. I do see a market for them for people with disabilities however. Like, restoring bodily functions or human senses with something planted just under the skin maybe.
I've got it! Computerless Computing...
From Big Data to Cloud Computing to AI; what do you think is next?
I predict the next trend; Disappointment Computing. Where the next tech hype bubble will be as nonsensical and idiotic as the last.
Thoughts? Opinions?
On a tangent, when our autonomous robot friends come to market; I wonder...
Support for corporate controlled languages more or less need to be sponsored by the corporations themselves; C# (Microsoft), Java (Oracle), Swift (Apple), etc. Some people have attempted to port Java and Swift to FreeBSD, then gave up due to the amount of work involved.
Community controlled...
