This is short-sighted. gbm may solve one problem for one os and one gfx layer. but the world is far more diverse than your myopic musings suggest....

nvidia does get a lot of unwarranted hate, especially on this forum. Andy Ritger even felt it necessary to apologize to the nouveau developers for the...

GBM is Linux/MESA only, and has a few warts. Nvidia on the other hand wants to support Wayland on Linux, as well as any
other future windowing...

Maybe video players and a few games. Andy Ritger said in his presentation that even on windows nvidia currently only supports HDR on fullscreen applications,...

[mlau]

Correct. They used Linux' lack of RAID driver for the Intel ICH to prevent it from being installed (and as was noted, the vanilla win10 installer doesn't...

The hardware IS supported by Linux (it's a standard AHCI controller), but Lenovo locked it to the one mode linux doesn't support (and never before needed...

I honestly have no idea. The hardware is a "standard" Intel ICH SATA controller, which usually has 3 operating modes: legacy (i.e. IDE), SATA...

The issue is with Linux (and the vanilla Win10 Installer as well) being unable to see the SSD. The BIOS purposefully sets the storage controller into...

gcc does: 1x vfmadd while clang does: 4x vmul+vadd in an iteration.
gcc's version is only half the size, but clangs is apparently 4x as fa...

I did, and there's no difference in generated code at all, with both gcc and clang....

Oh I agree that it's a almost meaningless benchmark, but it at least shows where both compilers excel at code generation.
I ran the scimark2 suite...

[mlau]

I am also surprised by the relatively low scores of this Xeon processor. My haswell laptop's (@3.2GHz turbo) scimark2 scores are slightly more than double...

[mlau]

me too, actually, although it shows that more optimization passes don't come for free....

[mlau]

Maybe nvidia already has clients (embedded, automotive for example) which have their eglstreams approach already in production use. Switching them to...
