#AltOS developed by #Moscow, #Russia-based #BasaltSPO has been recompiled to support #China's #Loongson #CPU based on #LoongArch architecture.
Alt is now first Russian #operatingsystem capable of running on Loongson's processors based on #64bit LoongArch, such as #LS5000 and #LS6000 series, which some in Russia consider alternatives to #x86 CPUs. The distro is based on the unstable, experimental branch of the #Sisyphus project, a stable release is set for Q1 2024.

Modern Intel #x86 machines are emulators of the x86 instruction set written to decompose it into a faster, more parallel architecture (that you cannot write directly to; it is a closely-guarded secret) that then executes your program.
This works until it doesn't. Here's a vulnerability that was discovered where using no-op prefixes effs up the internal emulation machine state and you can kill a CPU in a cloud service provider.

`The exact reasons why #Intel decided not to implement these features into #mobile parts is unclear, but it is possible that the company could not add support because ultra-low-power #x86 cores in the SoC die do not support these instructions and therefore they will not be enabled on the compute die as well. `

In the same vein, Intel's latest desktop processors that need 50+ Watts more to do the same or less work than a comparable AMD Ryzen processors shows that Intel themselves need to figure something.
If ARM can start eating away at Intel's laptop market, and AMD, Nvidia and Qualcomm can make more than competent desktop ARM processors, Intel will be in trouble again.
At that point, I don't have faith that Pat Gelsinger can correct the ship fast enough. Remember, Pat was the CTO during the Itanic, er, Itanium mess.
I have to say that I think I'd much rather see Intel taking on the new role of manufacturing chips for others where they'd actually be forced to compete and just let them leave the chip design business where their complacency has left them in the dust. I think there is a good chance that x86 is in its final stage but only time will tell. The only thing certain is that competition is good and a very needed thing.

May be a silly question re: #CPU Architecture,
Is there a theoretical reason why #ARM chips would have to be less powerful than #x86 chips, or is it a case of resource allocation? That the market for high end chips has been dominated by x86 so that’s where all the development lies? Or is there something useful/necessary about that larger instruction set that makes it useful to retain?

I posted a short note on a great resource on Intel 8086 Assembly, the series of books "Programming Boot Sector Games" and "More Boot Sector Games", to explain why I like them:
https://journal.paoloamoroso.com/the-boot-sector-games-book-series
How exactly did early x86 CPUs that didn't have an integrated FPU know to send x87 instructions to the external co-processor?
Was there a hardcoded instruction number range reserved for co-processors, or a general mechanism for registering instruction ranges?
What bus did it use to send instructions to the FPU chip and retrieve results?
If anyone has pointers, please share.
Why is it that you can install any version of #Windows or #Linux on basically any #x86 chip, but you can't install #Android on just *any* #ARM phone or #sbc
Everybody always says to stick to #raspberrypi because of "support" meaning there are OS images for it
I gather that each #SoC has a unique set of modems and gpus for which a custom build of Android must be used, but Windows systems come in millions of configurations and they just load drivers on the fly

I envy those who do not choose projects where they have to learn about 16 bit #x86 segmentation.
I'm digging deeper and deeper into the #PocketViewer SDK in #theFoundry and it was pretty messed up when I realized that I was incorrectly converting 32 bit addresses to segmented ones.
Reading through the first manual in the SDK has reminded me what the "pure small memory model" is.
The ES register is never corrupted (DS=ES=SS).
#TopSpeed C implemented this, which was one of the main reasons why #Psion used it for the SDK.
I've heard that it's possible to implement this with #Borland C (and maybe #Watcom?), but I don't know how.

TetrOS is a Tetris implementation in x86 Assembly that fits into a 512 byte boot sector. Cute.
It's nice to see people re-discovering #rss, personal websites and apps such as @wallabag in the wake of the #reddit and #twitter armageddon.
It reminds me very much of the recent re-discovery of #x86 machines by makers/self-hosters in the #raspberrypi shortage.
It's gratifying that these are all technologies that I never abandoned and have been an advocate for.
@profoundlynerdy ASM probably lacks a library system by virtue of having a truly gargantuan number of combinations of architectures, chipsets, revisions, errata, peripherals, and other details to factor in/consider, all of which tend to matter when ASM is your best and/or only option. Even acquiring all of the necessary hardware would be expensive and arduous, much less testing and maintaining the library across all those targets.
C also has some of those concerns, but to a lesser degree. There may not be a "package manager" for C, but there are typically standard libraries available for most of the common targets. And higher level languages typically have orders of magnitude fewer combinations of factors to deal with, which makes having a packaging ecosystem a more attractive prospect with less overall burden.

Remember when Apple's A-series ARM processors started getting near-desktop level Geekbench scores and everyone was like "it's apples and oranges because reasons" and dismissing #ARM performance as still inferior to #x86?
I published a review of the 2018 #iPadPro saying the #A12X had desktop-class performance and got lots of naysayers on social and in comments.
I wonder if those people are still dismissing #AppleSilicon?
Some tips for gaining a reading knowledge of Assembly language code.
My impression is it's not as easy as the post suggests. For example, while data transfer and branching instructions are usually easy, most logical operations, shifts, and math/logic tricks are mind bending. But the post is a great starting point.
Anyone got an example of code where _mm_prefetch did a (positive) difference in speed? Never quite managed to get something out of it.
Used copies of the book "Zen of Assembly Language: Volume I, Knowledge" by Michael Abrash, published in 1990, sell for no less than $150. But the full text of this treasure is fortunately available here, as the author eventually released the manuscript publicly:
https://www.jagregory.com/abrash-zen-of-asm
The book is an advanced and in-depth guide to 8088 Assembly programming, with a focus on — or perhaps an obsession with — performance and optimization. Abrash never wrote Volume II.
This is a lovely little project.
