Linux Gains Support for NUMA
soosterh writes "CNet has an article about a NUMA patch from IBM. It says that the improvement adds some support in Linux for nonuniform memory access, or NUMA, a design for higher-end servers with many processors. Linus Torvalds, the original creator of the operating system and still its top authority, accepted the update this month into version 2.5, the current test version of the software."
I just heard this on the radio today..
Popular OS Linux was found dead at the age of 15 on computers of internet dweebs worldwide. Prelimary autopsy reports indicate that the cause of death was massive irrelevence and inferiority of the source code. Truly a great loss to the world of insignificant software...
Oh crap, not again, "IBM, the saviour" gave us NUMA support. my ass. we'd have support anyway. someone would wrote it even if IBM never helped. and you know what? I'm sick of them. It's so fucking obvious what they are doing. They're trying to convince us how they love us.
But to me, they only sound like 50 year old pederasts that try to seduce little kids.
No, YOY are a windows user that has the brains of a potato and failed spectacularly to install linux mandrake 9.0
Could NUMA be perverted into a VM mechanism? :-)
Someone set us up the bomb, so shine we are!
Shut up, asshole. You have no idea what you're talking about.
First of all, this is not a troll even if I criticize Linux (although I'm sure some Linux fanboy will no doubt mod me down).
I wonder why more people are not complaining about the autocratic nature of Linux development. To me it is unconceivable people can be content with one single man running the show with "top authority".
Wouldn't a more democratic system like that used in developing *BSD suit better these times when the soviet communism has collapsed and the remaining undemocratic institutions (Taliban, Cuba soon, ...) are quickly eradicated and replaced by democratic ones?
IBM should do all this work for BSD. Oh, wait.
It already did. AIX is BSD-based. It's a shame all this effort is going into re-inventing the wheel. linux has really set back the state of computing by 10 years and 10 more to come.
Niggers Up My Ass.
It's a HOWTO for surviving in prison.
Some of us actually like to do something useful with our computers. Like instead of compiling a new kernel just to get the new network card working, we like to play real games, use real office tools and when we install new hardware it works out of box.
GOATSEX!
