Opinions are my own.

My interests are:
Memory Management,
Computer Architecture,
Circuit Design,
Virtualization
Remote node access latency is approximately 40% higher than that of the local node, and the throughput for remote nodes is only half of that for local nodes.

I've just built my first 2 socket server (36C/72T, DDR4 256GB ECC/REG RAM) for experimenting with NUMA.
It's an old xeon server (Broadwell), but enough to play with!

The bad part is that the pay is poor because it's a "field exercise" :/

Sometimes my schedule goes out of control, and I find myself buried in the work I started. It can be overwhelming, and this is one of those moments.

However, there is some good news: it's likely that I will be participating in a field exercise program next semester at a startup that designs CXL devices.

It's a very nice opportunity, but at the same time, it's a pity that I'll be missing some classes!

No LTO (there is no GCC LTO yet afaik too),
and I guess just building debug kernel eats tons of memory

BTW GCC LTO has been maintained out of tree for a long time, but still no mainline support....

Since when has kernel compilation required this much RAM? My laptop with 16GiB of RAM uses tens of GBs of swap space during linkage step

@conor it was totally unexpected accident, a lesson learned worth $500 🥲

I was removing the CPU cooler when the CPU became stuck to it and came off together.

tried to straighten bent pins but
not sure if it will work again.

@vbabka @larsmb threads are inherently toxic to brain as you need to take care about concurrency
