Somebody feel free to set me straight if I'm wrong (my knowledge of kernels is basically a college class and a half), but it seems the key thing here is that it's a kernel oriented around the L4 cache, which seems interesting because that's shared by the CPU and GPU: https://superuser.com/questions/1073937/what-does-l4-cache-hold-on-some-cpus https://superuser.com/questions/1073937/what-does-l4-cache-h...
So, intuitively at least it seems it's for sharing the kernel workload with your GPU (supposing your hardware supports it)?
- klez 8y agoEhm, no, it has nothing to do with the cache, it's just a successor of L3[0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L4_microkernel_family#L3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L4_microkernel_family#L3
- indigochill 8y agoAh, thanks. Hadn't heard of it, but now I know!
