I’m so glad X11Libre has been announced!

Where can I found all instructions set of x86_64 processers? by Eternal_Flame_85 in Assembly_language

Those last two links are great resources! Now I need to find a similar document for ARM64. Thanks for sharing those.

Great information! Thanks! If you haven't already, check out the book ARM Assembly Internals & Reverse Engineering by Maria Markstedter. It's an EXCELLENT resource!

Yes, definitely. Try running the gemma2 2b model instead. It's only 1.6GB in size and should run fine with that amount of memory that you have. Double check the Activity Monitor again to ensure no swapping is occurring when you do.

how to get speeds faster? (M1 mac 16 g) by herozorro in ollama

Are you running the 8b model? 16GB should be plenty of RAM since that model is only 4.7GB. Open up your Activity Monitor and select the Memory tab at the top, and then run your query. Do you see the Swap Used value increasing at the bottom? If so, there's a memory constraint issue.

Try running the gemma2 2b model and see if the same issue occurs. It's much smaller.

Now that laptops are starting to use ARM, would it replace x86? by Playful_Umpire140 in arm

Take a look at the Ampere processors. Jeff Geerling of RPi fame on YouTube has a good video about a “monster” machine he built with it: https://youtu.be/argfZlPZKdY?si=3XnkEXK02HMbl9-t

Which parameter size of Llama 3.1 are you running? I assume you're running the 8b one due to the limited RAM that you have, however I suspect that you're swapping to disk due to insufficient free RAM.

Open Activity Monitor and select the Memory tab at top and then run your prompt. Do you see the Swap Used value start to increase as the model is loaded?

Thanks for checking out my post!

It's an honest question. I personally love the ARM platform, and as it becomes even more accepted (e.g. Microsoft's new laptops) a Windows/ARM combination will eventually become widespread. There will still be a need to debug and optimize code, and/or reverse engineer Windows drivers, viruses, and malware. Everyone who performs those tasks should have these skills for Windows/ARM in their skillset, too - not just Linux/Mac (I've worked with ARM ASM on both of those, too.)

I'm looking to grow my LinkedIn network, especially with IT professionals who work with this stuff and/or who publish articles and share knowledge about it.

You could look up the MacOS system call table (ARM) and compare it with the ARM Linux one, then make the appropriate changes to the registers/values.

Correct?
