There are some presentations and white papers available on the EPI and I've read and seen some. They are quite pragmatic about the "Built in Europe"...

[ms178]

That is going to be different soon, as they do co-develop something with AMD as announced some weeks ago....

[ms178]

RISC-V is brand new, some extensions are not even ratified yet, e.g. the vector extension is still a draft. I've heard lots of praise for the POWER ISA...

[ms178]

That is not going to happen. Such a move would be suicidal for IBM. The open-sourcing decision cannot be taken back. Not only would it destroy any trust...

"Poppen" is a synonym for copulating. And "Popos" is the plural of "bum"....

[ms178]

While it is a good first step to stay relevant in the market as an open ISA, other steps need to follow, e.g. I haven't seen a different POWER CPU implementation...

As IBM took over Red Hat recently, I can think of a Linux on POWER initiative, something like Clear Linux for POWER. But that alone wouldn't be that Earth...

[ms178]

Even more so in German....

[ms178]

Thanks for this explanation. I see that this would leverage the cross-plattform and cross-vendor advantages of Vulkan to video encode/decode and should...

[ms178]

I hope the shootout between Epyc and Xeon on Clear Linux will be here soon, too?

[ms178]

I am just curious, could you elaborate why you'd prefer Vulkan video encode? Would it provide any benefits over NVENC / AMD VCN? I suppose they use compute...

[ms178]

Time for a CPU shootout between AMD and Intel on Clear Linux, I'd say.

[ms178]

I also found the equivalent to Powerpoint from Google Docs to be more pleasent and more intuitive to work with than LibreOffice....

[ms178]

I hope they do improve the handling of footnotes further as I need features such as cross-referencing with automatical updates. Also the interoperability...

[ms178]

I also thought MoltenVK was about making Vulkan the perfect target for serving macOS instead of implementing Metal directly....

[ms178]

The adoption rate of newer OpenCL versions is very poor. Is their framework approach supposed to fix that? I cannot see that it would improve adoption...

[ms178]

Correct, in addition to what GrayShade said, there is openMandriva which builds a special Zen-optimized version (they build most of their packages with...

[ms178]

Honestly, I don't know how far it is implemented yet, but at least there are some papers out there testing the principles and from a quick search, radv...

[ms178]

Multi-GPU will come back one day but not with SLI/CF. Modern APIs provide better ways for enabling multi-GPU than SLI/CF did (notice that these are marketing...

I do consider talking about Gnome performance issues on topic. And I am not religious about my DE choice, I just want things to work as good as possible....
