Aborting (as in calling abort(3)) inside a library is very problematic if I’m writing an application that uses it. It takes away the ability of the larger application to detect and handle the error, simply terminating the entire process. Es

I observed this behavior in a Dell system about a decade ago, but based on experience over the last 5 years or so with PowerEdge servers, installing a third-party GPU no longer triggers the (extremely loud) maximum fan-speed response.

0.4 mA quiescent current is huge for very low-power designs though. If your system must spend the majority of its time consuming very little power, that level of constant current draw is a non-starter.

Do you have a citation for kernel mode having more efficient context switches? What kind of direct hardware access are you referring to that would be better than pushing the register context onto the stack? In my experience, the exact oppos

This is what they were referring to. To get optimum performance out of NUMA systems, you need to be careful about memory allocation and usage to maximize the proportion of your accesses that are local to the NUMA domain where the code is ru

The issue with spinning it up "on demand" is that there is a minimum 24-hour billing period for each machine you start because of Apple's EULA. So, each time you want to spin up an AWS Mac, you're paying at least $25.99.

Yes, these applications do exist. The speedups mainly come from the more flexible instruction set that AVX-512 provides (so in many cases you can replace several instructions with just one), plus the increased register set (32 architectural

Indeed it does; it's about as complex as ffmpeg, and in my opinion has a somewhat more intuitive interface for building up complicated pipelines of processing steps: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/

I think you have the relationship between yield and demand backwards. The yield of a bond and its price are inversely related, so an inverted yield curve (lower yields at longer durations) implies the opposite of what you said: there is hig
