@cas @wolf480pl granted, the distain is mutual, given almost all #SBC & #SoC vendors refuse to do basic #documentation on how their shit works and barely release some dodgy images with custom kernel modules.

• @olimex and #RaspberryPi being an exception of the norm, but #Rockchip, #Allwinner and other SOCs are a real pain in the ass to support unless they are #ARMv8 with #UEFI to boot.

#Apple's Hardware does have @AsahiLinux as project to care for and is popular enough to be worth the hassle for them, as it brings decent performance and battery runtime to the table...

The #MAME team has blessed us with version #0.276, crammed with "emulation goodness" that no one asked for. 🤡 Remember that obscure 64-bit #ARMv8 recompiler? Neither do we, but apparently, it's a big deal. 🧐

#SingleBoardComputer enthusiasts experienced with booting #Radxa #RadxaZero2Pro with #Amlogic #A311D #SoC? dd the Radxa Debian #linux img to an SDCard, which does boot. The same img file does not appear to boot when dd to USB. Something special need to be done to boot from USB or SDCard? #AlpineLinux appears to have amlogic a311d2 support from https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/contents?file=*amlogic*a311d*.dtb. It's unclear how to get the standard or uboot Alpine tar.gz files to boot. Is this something with #uboot on #armv8/#aarch64?

@ariadne I do think #amd64 is the better option if one can't go with #ARMv8.5 / #arm64...

Сказ о том, как мы искали новые векторные расширения на ARM

Мы в Smart Engines активно занимаемся низкоуровневой оптимизацией нейронных сетей. Наши библиотеки работают на центральных процессорах, поэтому мы активно используем Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) расширения. SSE, AVX и NEON уже стали привычными, но в свежих версиях архитектуры ARM были представлены новые расширения: SVE, SVE2, а также SME. Вот о них мы и поговорим в этой статье.

@lamp yes and no.

Yes, #Apple will #EoL the #Intel-based "Cheesegrater" #MacPro by 2029-2030 as per their preannounced platform lifecycle of 10 years.

No, because #Apple's #ARMv8.1-A - based #SoC's are heavily modified in that they require a feckton of custom chips solely for the purpose of #ReducedLifecycle and making repairs harder if not impossible to facilitate...

Unlike their #amd64 / #EM64T - predecessors they don't have a dedicaded #EFI chip with "#BridgeOS" aka. #AEFI aka. #macOS - #Recovery on but use the exact same #Flash chips that are #RAID0 as #SSD, and since those are custom with their own controllers ( based off info from @marcan ) - basically every chip is it's own NVMe but proprietary...
And when (not if) they (inevitably) die (due to exceeding TBW lifecycle or terrible engineering frying them with 12V on a 2,7V rail ), the entire system is braindead.

And that is not by accident but rather intentional...

What’s Inside #China’s New Homegrown “#TianheXingyi” Supercomputer?
At the Supercomputing Innovation Application Conference in #Guangzhou, researchers announced a new “#Tianhe” machine called “Tianhe Xingyi”.
Reports indicate its a domestic architecture and, doubles the performance of #Tianhe2. There is no mention of accelerators, only #CPU. Likely #MT3000 based on China’s native manycore #Armv8-based #Phytium2000+ (FTP) and #Matrix2000+ (MTP) processor/node architecture

@jkeyne that's a useful tip. It hasn't worked but I've learned a bit.

I can download but the install fails saying it can't find compatible ABIs. But my phone reports an MT6739 processor, which is Armv8 and I can see the app apk's in #AuroraStore include v8a.

The apps claim to be targeting SDK 33 (Android v13) which means they should work with my v11 (SDK 30).

Several apps are like this, I suspect all updated to SDK33 because recent Play deadline but now won't work on this v11 #Armv8 phone 🤷‍♂️

After more than a month of downtime, my #SaltStack master is up ad running again! I migrated it to a new hardware, as 2G of RAM on my #Pine64 was starting to be too little. Now it is running in brand new #LXC container on my #SttarFive #VisionFive2 #riscv #sbc with 8G of RAM. Feels much less constrained and now that it actually works, I will probably start migrating other services from my too mainstream #armv8 devices there :-)

J'ai joué à essayer de compiler une appli #Flutter pour #PostmarketOS sur #ARMv8 (#Pinephone acheté en #Ğ1), mais entre la version du sdk #Dart, la std #musl, je ne m'en suis pas sorti ><

When you are looking at K3s because it's marketed for resource constrained environments, but your jetson nano is more powerful than the last desktop PC you ever owned.

#k3s #JetsonNano #TuringPi2 #armv8

@sidequesting Will #Bungie make #Marathon release first on #Apple #macOS as well?

Cuz #ARM64 #ARMv8 aka. #AppleSilicon has the #GPU power equivalent to a #1070Ti even in the smallest #M1 & #A14X chips...

@Ember @alilly #AMD64 should be called #aarch64 if it"s not #ARMv8...
