- rbanffy 1y agoI'd go further - we'll need to rethink the CPU, the memory (we'll need lots of memory regions with exclusive access, a way to manage scratch memory, etc) and IO (because there will be a lot going on at any given time).
- gsf_emergency_2 1y ago(Aside from the scratch or IO maybe this isn't all that heretical :) there seems to be some nascent interest and work out there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-memory_processing#Application_of_in-memory_technology_in_everyday_life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-memory_processing#Applicati... XenevaOS could at least have moved in that direction..
- rbanffy 1y agoAs I said before, even a ground up OS for current hardware is a colossal endeavour. Coupling that to a rethink of the hardware as well is clearly better suited to academia for now. I already find it intriguing that the pre-boot hardware bring up for RPi boards is done by the GPU before the ARM cores are enabled.
