Who out there would find a Computer Architecture blog or podcast interesting? What if I arranged to do one in collaboration with folks like @AMD, @Arm, @intelnews, @risc_v?
On some level I agree. But on another I don't. Many friends have entered software engineering without formally studying it, but they're *very* smart women and men who could easily understand this, if it was ever made accessible. I intend to make it more accessible to everyone.
United brought back an 8pm transcon from Boston to San Francisco. If youβre willing to get to your hotel at 2am you can again have a full day on East Coast followed by full day on West Coast and redeye back π
At the time we pushed for these standards as a server ecosystem there wasnβt the gravitational pull to get client to go in the right direction. I personally believe that will begin to change now with mainstream Windows on Arm across client devices
I really think this is the coolest thing about the @nvidia RTX Spark. Thereβs a very good chance they have the same high quality platform that DGX demonstrated with firmware done the right (boring) way using the standards we pioneered on Arm servers
@HomericWigger@bexcran@Sosowski Iβve said for well over a decade that itβs only a matter of time until mainstream Arm client follows the standardization path we pioneered in server. Fast forward 5 years from now, itβll be just like the x86 PC

Did I have to rewind back to the feel good intro montage from @Arm and rewatch @renehaas237 ? No, I didnβt. But man do I love my friends. Nicely done π₯°
@VadimYuryev I will say Apple have absolutely galaxy class architects and designers. They think about all of these details that the merely average architect would never contemplate. There is a reason that Apple Silicon looks like magic
@VadimYuryev Requires a substantial set of changes to an OS if you want to support Shared Virtual Addressing seamlessly. I think Windows has some support for this, but almost certainly not out of the box and they probably want to support everything. SVA is very hard to do in a bug free way
