Maybe it is similar to a HPC-APU with HBM2 memory for both the GPU and the CPU part? I am also very keen on getting to know the hardware details....

I guess this topic needs some benchmark numbers to see how good these different schedulers work in real world workloads.

Do they want to push people to upgrade now? At least part of their reputation relies on the fact that "good driver support" also meant long...

Is this tool already used widely by the graphics vendors?

[ms178]

Yes, some distros took the blue pill and do ship their Chromium builds with the VAAPI patches included and enabled by default. But I'd rather like to...

Thank your for the numbers, albeit I would have hoped for more of a significant difference.

I can't decide yet what will happen sooner, Google accepting the VAAPI patches or POWER9 gaining traction in the consumer desktop segment again.

I fully concur! I don't know the current state of the various Linux Kernel performance testing efforts, but at least Intel did some work in that area:...

This could also be documented better, as there are several CFLAGS in several Makefiles. There is also the HOSTCFLAGS option in the top level Makefile....

I'd like to counter the reasoning from Ingo Molnar as shown here https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

Well, there is the route that Mandriva took, offering builds for specific CPU architectures (in case of Mandriva: Zen 1)....

Isn't it obvious? Quantity has become a quality now. ...

If I remember correctly a major hurdle is that ICC is proprietary. As they've open sourced the rest of the components you mentioned, ICC seems to be the...

As others have pointed out, AMD seems to play it very safe with the voltages to sell even as much as possible of the worst working silicon of a given...

I agree, ffmpeg is essential for desktop use. Having a performance optimized build would be even better. And if not Chrome itself, Chromium + VAAPI patches...

By the way, I am curious if there is a way in ClearLinux to build my own customized RPM/DEB-like packages automatically (on ClearLinux that would be building...
