> A number of GPUs use a standard Arm SMMU instead of an IOMMU already. Yes, I'm talking about using cores like an ARM SMMU (which is an IO-MMU). Perhaps some GPUs do, but many (most?) don't including the Mali-G710 in this art

I've also seen GC reliant concurrent algorithms that would require a lot more synchronization to keep track of when to actually free an object. GCed languages can just forget about the object and rely on the GC later to figure out wha

IMO, what needs to happen is that half-assed mobile GPUs need to stop including their own MMU, and use a standard IO-MMU.

It is incompatible. For one example, it doesn't have registers R0-R7, using those as encodings as additional address bits. It also doesn't have the top half of registers R8-R15.

The 360 model 20 isn't actually a 360 compatible system. It's a 16 bit subset 'inspired by' the 360.

AFAICT DTrace is more a parallel branch. Both inspired by cBPF. What should get more talk IMO, is the exokernel XOK's kernel VMs which went way harder than even eBPF does towards user space programmability for the kernel as a core pri

I'm pretty unclear as to the specifics. Rapidus is wafer processing and packaging; I get that. Is LSTC trying to create a fab directly, a fabless entity more or less directly developing chips, or just trying to be more like China&#x2

There's economic reasons behind the cheap SoCs you see. Invariably it's when an SoC was made in bulk expecting some market that never materialized. For instance the original Pi SoC was very clearly intended for some set top box O

Looking at the docs, it doesn't look like ARMv9-A strictly requires FEAT_SVE to be implemented. What that means in practice is anyone's guess.

Very relevant. The big outlier not listed here is apple. Quick overview from someone who's written binary analysis tools targeting most of these: Mach-O is the format they use, going back to nextstep. They use it everywhere including

Yeah, not a big fan of the library ecosystem in embedded rust, but then again I've never been a big fan of the libraries I get off the shelf for the vast majority of embedded C. The rust libraries have the additional complication of t

But the DMCA's 1201 provisions didn't apply to Sony v. Bleem since the DRM scheme of the PlayStation didn't attempt to stop you from copying, but instead focused on stopping a legitimate PS1 from playing copies.

Yeah, there was talk of the C10M problem. Just like C10K was considered solved with event loops like epoll, kqueue, and IOCP, C10M is generally been considered solved with techniques that colocate your network stack and your business layer

It's soft; like a lot of legal concepts, there isn't a black and white test. At the end of the day it's what can be proven to a jury. In this case for instance, I don't think there's a decent legal strategy for Yuzu

Chips are too. Opamps can add, multiply, subtract, divide, integrate and differentiate depending on how they're plugged in.

The DMCA was in effect but not applicable to the case since the DRM scheme of the PS1 doesn't block access to the files of the disc, but instead simply attempts to block the usage of non DRMed media on legitimate PS1s.

True, but therefore setting up for the kinds of information that they'd be looking for in discovery. For instance, perhaps Yuzu keeps telemetry data around?
