Nvidia CEO says company has plans for desktop chip designed with MediaTek
> "We're going to make that a mainstream product," Huang said. "We'll support it with all the things that we do to support professional and high-quality software, and the PC (manufacturers) will make it available to end users."

@never_released Wat 0.o
why did they need a partnership for this like they haven't been making tegras for the past decade ??
-
@valpackett @never_released Oh, so that's why MediaTek was hiring Windows developers last year
MediaTek surpassed Nvidia in ARM CPUs thanks to the amount of money Google poured into it, so I'm not surprised in the slightest. Their laptop SoCs are on-par with ~i5 from Intel these days.
> Huang said Nvidia believes it can bridge the gap between the Linux operating system that most AI developers use and Microsoft's (MSFT.O), opens new tab Windows, which is widely used by consumers, by using a Microsoft technology called Windows Subsystem for Linux that allows a single computer to use both systems.
Lol, lmao. Qualcomm hyped X Elite up and it ended up in a pool of poop because WoA is a joke. They better make sure Linux runs well on this hardware, or it will be a flop as well. WSL isn't an alternative. -
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I am failing to articulate how monumentally fucking STUPID that statement of "bridging the gap between Linux and windows" and then "a Microsoft technology" oh my fucking god lmao. This talks about wsl as if it hasn’t been out for years. What the fuck is there to work on? The only thing I can think of is that they do need to ensure hyper-v support on these processors (which requires something Microsoft calls Secondary Layer Address Translation but the industry calls "nested paging"). There’s so many things that go into a hypervisor just to run fucking Linux in a vm (because that’s all wsl2 is surprise!) my god I am actually cackling this is brilliant
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] we have been able to use qemu to make windows guests for years. The only real innovation wsl2 has is the usage of plan9’s 9p protocol to bridge the filesystem (yes that’s how hyper-v gives access to your windows drive). Wsl2 also has some stuff going on with being able to display graphical applications (I’m assuming basic x forwarding, I remember using Xming for this years ago before Microsoft made it this feature) my god
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @elly @valpackett WSL2 doesn't use X forwarding.
It's paravirtualised dxgkrnl with a Linux-built version of the UMD being used (equivalent on Linux is virtio-gpu native context) and with Wayland (modified Weston with the RDP backend _and_ buffer sharing)
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] okay. I underestimated Microsoft that is not the worst way of doing it! Still the point stands that for nvidia’s use case of completing the gap it’s kinda really bad due to the aforementioned problem of having to port hyper-v
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @elly @never_released @valpackett I think WSL2's graphics and sound integration is quite impressive.
Unfortunately, if you want to run VirtualBox at normal speed with all the CPU features, you have to disable Hyper-V completely, including the "memory protection" feature of Windows 11.
You're required to do that to run the new x86-64 port of OpenVMS since it needs XSAVE, so they have a good doc on turning off Hyper-V for VirtualBox.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] ah! I had no idea they got to v9.2! I had a copy of v9.1 somewhere for the x86 build.

VSI(*) is now providing hobbyists with a .vmdk file with a preinstalled OS image with layered products installed, rather than giving us the real installer and individual packages. They also stopped Alpha and Itanium community licenses.
VMS/x86 runs on VirtualBox, KVM/qemu, VMware Workstation or ESXi, but not Hyper-V, since it's not a full PC emulation.
* the company that licensed the right to develop OpenVMS from HPE and ported it to x86
