AMD cuddles with Linux
AMD apparently wants to set up a research group in Dresden not only to optimize Linux for its own processors, but also to integrate the requirements of the open operating system in the development process for future processor generations.
According to the job description for the tool developer, this person will not only be developing Linux tools for AMD processors, but also helping optimize processors for Linux http://www.heise.de/english/newsticker/news/72169

AMD's Linux research in Dresden
AMD plans to establish a global centre of competence for operating systems in Dresden. At the Operating System Research Center (OSRC), a team directed by Chris Schläger will be working with AMD's processor designers to "optimize future generations of AMD microprocessors for the requirements of modern operating systems."
Up to the beginning of the year, Schläger was the development head at Novell for SuSE Linux.

CRN: To what extent is AMD's Linux business growing?
RICHARD: Linux has always been a stronghold for us. People using Linux in the computer and server space are unconventional thinkers. So that often drives them to be AMD partners. One area Linux is well-known for is high performance, and the Opteron is [big] in HPC and large clusters. We're continuing to invest in that space. We recently opened a software development center in Redmond, Wash., and we continue to work closely with Red Hat and [Novell] SUSE and enhancements for Barcelona. You'll see in the next release of the Red Hat OS that there is optimization around the AMD platform, which is a first. http://www.crn.com/hardware/197007770?pgno=3
Doteraz boli totiz testy Barcelona-y len vo Windows...
a je to vcleku doveryhodne
kedze jedine rutiny AMD pre CPU v roku 2007 boli pre Linux
AMD Power Monitor Linux Version - RHEL 4 32 bits - This application is used to monitor the current frequency, voltage, utilization, and power savings of each core of each processor in a system. This application also has a system tray icon that can be used to view and select power schemes on the system. The system tray icon will show the average utilization of every core on the system.

AMD A Linux BIOS- mozno dokonca defualt BIOS
15.12.2006
AMD dokonca uvažuje, že v budúcich generáciách základných dosiek umožní OEM výrobcom použiť LinuxBIOS namiesto klasického BIOS-u. http://www.itnews.sk/buxus_dev/generate_page.php?page_id=46524&usr_forum_page_size=30&usr_forum_page_id=0

AMD to support LinuxBIOS on Desktop and Laptop motherboards -- tell them which ones!
LinuxBIOS developer and AMD employee Lu Yinghai has asked on the LinuxBIOS mailinglist which desktop and laptop motherboards people would like to see supported by LinuxBIOS:
This is a great opportunity for System76 to tell AMD what desktop and laptop motherboards you want pre-installed with LinuxBIOS
Pocet uzivatelu je u takovychto masin dost slaba hodnota, jelikoz load te masiny muze byt porad pod jednou ... :( Nehlede na to, ze vsichni vime, ze tyto benchmarky jsou velmi laboratorni (proste se porad vyuzivaji jen nektere procesorove instukce). A podle stoupajicich uzivatelu v tom grafu, to skoro vzbuzuje dojem, ze by se to mohlo v urcity cas obratit, coz muze byt velmi zajimave...
Uprime by pro me mereni melo vetsi vahu, pokud by slo o realne nasazeni treba weboveho serveru, nebo konkretnich aplikaci, v prubehu rekneme alespon tydne. Kde se neprovadi jen "par" operaci neustale dokola, ale v podstate vsechny operace z realneho provozu (treba i s pocitanim seti@home atd)
V ty tabulce jaksi chybi pocet tech transakci za sekundu pro jednotlive platformy. Pak by se prislo na to, ze Intel sice vic zere, ale take vice udela. Nekde jsem jiz podobne srovnani videl.
Ale jsi asi nepochopil význam toho sdělení - nešlo o to, kolik kdo co za jak dlouho spočítá, ale kolik při svém běžném provozu sežere elektriky. Dle mého úsudku 90% serverů není vytíženo ani z třetiny a i kdyby mohlo, tak čeká na "okolí". (proto tak frčí virtualizace). A tam se uplatňují spořící technologie , které dovolí procesoru nepromrhat energii v hrozně rychle provedených čekacích smyčkách. ;-)
