Good points.
Sure. Compilers can do a serious fubar with some vectorization and unrolling, just as you mention. And they can be pretty stupid sometimes....

[milkylainen]

Hmm. In C, depending on the code, it's sometimes _very_ hard to do it better than a good compiler.
Sure, if your code and data structures are rubbish,...

I think this is the result of the general power struggle inside Intel.
Some want to focus on core business and have total hegemony over the classical...

I am offended! OMG!
On a side note. I'm betting this is exactly why Linus is stalling......

netlink?

[milkylainen]

I do agree on most things but not necessarily this one.
Almost all modern high-end microarchs are post-risc-macro-op-vliw-whatever on the inside....

[milkylainen]

So I guess the big question will be raw computing power vs power consumption vs cost as usual?

Also. Why would Amazon do this? I'm not sure...

What actually runs NetBSD these days? In the embedded space? Not trying to be an ass, just curious.

[milkylainen]

So. Developing hardware costs, 1. Time. 2. Money.
Free organisations create an ISA. Making the community gain momentum.
Companies, not interested...

[milkylainen]

Wow. Epic swings. That is just rubbish. Performance regression on directory basis?
How hard can it be? Run on a farm. Compile on every commit, build...

[milkylainen]

Well. I was under the impression that the context was corrupted. Not the actual data itself.
So more likely to cause invalid code and state than...

What a p.o.s keynote speech. Talking about blowing sunshine up your own ass.

[milkylainen]

Is this as usual with Raspberry foundation boards?
No real SoC or board documentation? Just superficial?
New u-boot and firmware? Can someone...

[milkylainen]

Well. Depends on what you're looking for. To me, this looks like a blanket statement.
HPET has more overhead and is generally slower than RDTSC....

The kernel fudging fp-regs is a very severe bug. So yes, very special.
It's not like some remote tidbit driver nobody cares about.
I'm very...

[milkylainen]

What a gigantic mess all these microarch f-ckups have created...
Keeping track of all this is proving to be a major PITA, even if I have no problems...

[milkylainen]

Oh please. The whole world is easily offended. It's the mode du jour.
If you're not offended you're not doing it right.

And it's not...

[milkylainen]

Sure. But then you can hardly claim that "it's faster because omgbbq RUST!"...

[milkylainen]

How hard can it be to stick them in a low maintenance open dirwalk http or ftp, indexed by product?
Everybody just loves to overly complicate stuff....

[milkylainen]

More like expanding the term TDP into something more complex while marketing a lower number.
But yeah. Lies. ...
