I made a quick demo of how the UI "representation" given out by Hawaii emergency management officials http://www.civilbeat.org/2018/01/hawaii-distributed-phony-im... might work.

and POWER6, PowerPC 970MP, 7447A, and 7450 fail. PowerPC 7447B is maybe a fail.

They did experiment with that in fact: https://www.crowdsupply.com/raptor-computing-systems/talos-s... https://player.vimeo.com/video/187042840

I think big tech companies are perfectly aware of how people react to their actions.

Agreed, I will take the wide-screen ratio god intended (16:10) any day of the week over 16:9.

> Once that has been determined, designed, and goes into production, we start on firmware. So you use coreboot. Right? Because if you don't, where is this firmware development going on?

I think it is probably: * a guarantee, and support for running Linux * UK-based customer support, rather than ROC/Taiwan-based * maybe component selection that avoids certain hardware with bad drivers?

Although as someone mentioned below, they are rebranded Clevo machines, and really were designed to run Windows first. Station X is just offering a guarantee that they will run Linux properly.

Any idea what ODM Purism <puri.sm> uses for their components? This is exactly the sort of thing I find interesting.

Is there no way to make this an argument at boot time? Something like, `ksecerr=log+kill`

Then after you get compromised in some way, you will start to look for better vendors.

You would rather have a self driving car in an undefined state, rather than having it shut down? A random glitch could be just as bad as an exploit; if some chunk of memory gets overwritten and your car decides that the brick wall doesn&#x2

Ideally mining usage could help drive volume for economies of scale, or at least provide a good used market once this particular boom dies down.

The Zaius/Barreleye systems use the LaGrange chips instead; the quick breakdown I made for wikipedia was: Sforza — 50 mm × 50 mm, 4 DDR4, 48 PCIe Lanes, 1 XBus 4B Monza — 68.5 mm × 68.5 mm, 8 DDR4, 34 PCIe Lanes, 1 X

POWER and PowerPC chips have been bi-endian for a while. Since POWER3 would be my guess.

For anyone curious about that source code, it is here: https://github.com/open-power

Can you provide a link? Is it an ARM system?

by torpcoms 9y ago
Because there is latency and overhead involved when shuffling things to the GPU, and a lot of the focus on POWER these days is on OpenCAPI/NVLink. If there is an ARM chip fast enough to make OpenCAPI support worthwhile, I would be inte

After some more looking around, talking to someone on reddit.com/r/openpower, and looking at the new site information; the thought is that these are 50 mm × 50 mm Sforza sockets and the 4-core CPUs are 12-cores with 8 cores disabl

Fedora and RHEL do seem to come in big endian versions as well as little endian. Have not seen any other distros that do though.

https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards Looks like 2 [+ 2 for old builds] server boards supported; which is ironic since coreboot began as a project for server clusters.

Can you give a source, or was this personal testing?

It is; the question is, can you put the 24-core chips from IBM in the same socket? For that matter, what on earth is the socket name for POWER9 (or POWER8)?
