Written on top of Metal with some specific private extensions. I guess that they aren’t willing to long-term support those (yet?). I wonder if they are going to make the Apple OpenGL impl run without those as an alternative too…

Nah, Apple has a very clean Metal paravirtualisation ABI. This allows to decouple the VM from the underlying HW. macOS 12 VMs will run on Mac hardware that doesn't even exist yet, with GPU acceleration.

The AD102 die this gen doesn’t have NVLink on silicon. RTX 6000 Ada Generation doesn’t have NVLink, and neither does the L40.

Intel still sells x86_64 CPUs without AVX. See Jasper Lake and Comet Lake Celeron/Pentium.

Oh it does. (running the ABL application) UEFI alone isn’t exactly useful when you need per device kernels (and associated modules). It’s just one slice of the problem.

Qualcomm Android phones use UEFI since the Snapdragon 835. With an Android bootloader UEFI app on top to mimic what Android wants on top...

GPU firmware is not a security boundary on the vast majority of hardware. With app to GPU communication being mediated by the kernel.

HMM is on the way for a page migration-based impl that works on most hardware and allows seamlessly to use all CPU memory from GPU programs, including mmap’d files. CUDA 12 is going to be fun. CXL 2.0 and earlier just aren’t it because of a

There are arm64 designs with MMUs but not FPUs. See Cortex-R82. That [1] is wrong too. Tegra Xavier shipped with sequential consistency out of the box :)

Arm64 allows FPU-less designs. There are some around…

Thankfully from the kernel perspective the Galaxy Book Go SoC is pretty well supported because Chromebooks did ship with the same SoC. However, that specific device doesn’t have good support. Would take some developer time to do so… (and no

Binary slices for each GPU generation. So that it becomes huge quite quickly, despite use of compression.

Most people don't have AV1 decoders. So not very surprising that pirates too would choose to use HEVC.

That devkit wasn't intended to be a development but a testing device. But then they made a big mistake: putting Windows Home on it instead of Pro... so that it didn't have RDP...

For all ARM64 Windows devices, UEFI Secure Boot is end-user configurable. And yes that includes Surface Pro X, Pro 9 arm and this devkit.

You'll need to wait a bit until a new device tree comes for these devices. Given that support for the ThinkPad X13s with the same SoC is coming along... going to happen pretty soon.

UEFI Secure Boot can be disabled or put in a custom configuration on all arm64 Windows devices, including Windows Dev Kit 2023.

Windows Subsystem for Android currently uses the same infrastructure for GPU virt as the Android Emulator (ie command stream encapsulation with gfxstream, virtio-gpu device).
