TempleOSV409on Ask HN: Why are modern Intel CPUs not getting a lot more cores?

I am the proud owner of a Xeon 12/24 3.0Ghz. It's the best one!

Some people like hot-rod cars.

I don't use a GPU like normal people do. Graphics are great for parallel execution. (Obviously)

If everybody owns a Xeon 12/24 then you can make real-time software that requires it. There's not a chance any software will be written until most people have it.

Most compilers use AST for internal intermediate code. TempleOS uses a stack machine intermediate code. At the end, it converts from intermediate code to x86_64 machine code.

TempleOSV409on Xen exploitation part 2: XSA-148, from guest to host

I started identity mapping everything using 2 Meg as much as possible. Since VGA A0000 BFFFF must be uncached, I had to map the lowest 2 Meg with 4K.

Then, I made an alias for the VGA.

Recently, I switched to 1 Gig pages. You probably did not know that there is a bit in the CPUID that tells if 1 Gig pages are supported.

I have an alias for the first 4 Gig up toward top of my space. FEE00000 the local apic and IOAPic and HPET must be uncached, so I access them in my 4Gig alias up in high space.

TempleOSV409on TempleOS Flight Simulator and FPS Video

White kids like to program. Making a goat simulator mod or crazy shit in MineCraft is very sad.

Carmack wants to make a mini-me. Ask him what he wants his kid doing, playing Doom or making Donkey Kong?

God said 640x480 16 color. We are obviously not interested in performance. We want to make a damn good toy.
