Intel’s Rewrite Of Linux MM CID Code Showing Some Nice Gains For AMD
Posted last month were new Linux kernel scheduler-related patches rewriting the MM CID management code. The main takeaway for end-users from this set of 19 Linux kernel patches from an Intel engineer was seeing 14~18% improvement in a PostgreSQL database benchmark but that more benchmarks were needed. Curiosity got the best of me and I recently tested these patches on an AMD EPYC server to seeing some very enticing results for this in-development c … ⌘ Read more

In-Depth iPhone Battery Experiment Pits Slow Charging Against Fast Charging
HTX Studio this week shared the results from a six-month battery test that compared how fast charging and slow charging can affect battery life over time.
Using six iPhone 12 models, the channel set up a system to drain the batteries from five percent and charge them to 100 percent over and over again. Three were fast charged, and three were slow charged.

V7 pwd, converted to modern POSIX systems
This is a conversion of the original V7 pwd program for use on POSIX systems (tested primarily on Linux). This is mostly of historical interest — modern systems have a library routine or system call for getting the current directory, and don’t need this. I’ve attempted to make the minimum set of logic/functionality changes needed to make the program work, preserving the core of the original logic. I’ve made slightly more aesthetic changes, to make r … ⌘ Read more

First look inside the Derby factory building the Elizabeth line’s new trains
“Inside the simulation room, they can test almost any situation that a train could encounter, and even use digital twins to work out why a train developed a fault on the railway. To try and keep the simulation as close to real as possible, they even include the circa five miles of cabling intact.”
