I'm not sure that's true for a good chunk of the workloads that dpdk really shines on. A lot of the benefit of dpdk is colocating your data and network stack in the same virtual memory context. io_uring I can see getting you ther

Those patents are starting to expire. Original x86-64 is probably free and clear now, being released in 2001. The big sticking point for general code out there (cmpxchg16b) was released in 2008, so it only has a few more years left. If an

Yeah, the Nvidia stuff isn't really made to be hacked on. I'd check out the AMD side since you can at least have a full open source GPU stack to play with, and they make a modicum of effort to document their gpus.

At it's core, this device file is responsible for managing a GPU local address space, and sharing memory securely with that address space in order to have a place to write command buffers and data that the gpu can see. It doesn't

There's not a lot of docs on how it works. It used to be entirely in the closed source driver, now it's mainly a thin bridge to the closed source firmware blob. But yes, for more than a decade now even with consumer cards, separa

You can't mmap a socket, and mmap is core to how /dev/nvidia-uvm works.

It's not rational, but the current tariffs are explicitly aimed at Chinese EVs and were created faster than they could hit the US market in any sizable quantity even using China's existing manufacturing infrastructure. Policy in s

The tariffs would most likely morph to disallow that.

It's not under AFR, it's just generally less than inflation. And the loan terms aren't payable at death on any of the loans, they just let you refi every year when you want another $100M for that year's incidentals.

The banks don't like to dump multiple billions at once into these schemes. It's more about trickling hundreds of millions a year out to cover all possible living expenses, and a lot of that going into assets like houses and ships

The ferrocene morph of the toplchian is ISO 26262 and ASIL-D, and as this blog post is about rust in the ECU of a production vehicle of a large manufacturer. It seems like it already has support in the relevant safety critical standards, at

Why would you cut into an operation that's already measured milliseconds (vm image rehydration is one of the implementations of 'serverless') over a single syscall that's already built around the idea of blocking if it n

I mean, if there isn't enough entropy yet to seed the kernel's PRNG (because say, you just resumed a VM image, and all entropy pools are invalidated), and you didn't specify that it's allowed to fail becuase you didn&#x2

There isn't a guarantee of that. It is the current implementation that it's only an early boot time thing, but it would make sense to revert to uninitialized in cases like is brought up in the patch series. That is when some even

That's not my reading. > If the urandom source has not yet been initialized, then getrandom() will block, unless GRND_NONBLOCK is specified in flags. And glibc's implementation doesn't specify any flags. https:/&#x2

Can't getentropy(3) block for arbitrary amounts of time since it's based on get getrandom(2), whereas the data for AT_RANDOM is already on the initial thread's stack?

There's only one a few projects I know of that provide formal proofs wrt their real time guarantees; sel4 being the only public example. That being said, vibes and kiss principle can get you remarkably far.

There's a general ban on patentability of mathematical algorithms on the basis that they're not invented but discovered. The legal basis for why that doesn't apply to software has always seemed specious at best to me.

That sounds distinctly like an expectation that didn't hold.
