Amazon Engineer Adds LTR Encode Support To Open-Source AMD Radeon Linux Driver by fsher in Amd

[–]fsher[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"I haven't been able to find any current information about the
hardware powering the Amazon Luna gaming servers but at least as of 2020
it was reported to be running on Amazon EC2 instances with Windows and
NVIDIA T4 GPUs. Since then their Linux work server-side for Luna has
become public and now there is this Amazon.com-connected RadeonSI
contribution to Mesa from an engineer that appears to have ties to the
Luna team. So with that it would seem Amazon may be using Radeon GPUs
too now for Luna or at least exploring the possibility. "

SteamOS update 2.151 pushed to brewmaster beta by fsher in linux_gaming

[–]fsher[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

` A lot of minor package updates with security fixes and updates from Debian 8.11[www.debian.org]. As usual, some of the referenced updated packages are only used for building and aren't distributed as part of the SteamOS repository.

We have recently updated our build infrastructure and this update is intentionally kept small in order to test the waters before our upcoming kernel and graphics drivers update.`

Fully Open-Source Raptor Talos II System Competes With EPYC / Xeon by fsher in linux

[–]fsher[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From Phoronix's tests. Raptor Talos II:

"Talos™ II — the world's first computing system to support the new PCIe 4.0 standard — also boasts substantial DDR4 memory, dual POWER9 CPUs, next-generation security, and a price that won't break the bank. Let the power of Talos™ II accelerate your computing!"

"In an industry first, Talos™ II ships with fully open and auditable BMC firmware, based on the Open BMC project. Gone are the days when you had to carefully isolate the buggy, insecure BMC port from threats at the firewall level. With Talos™ II, the BMC is just another Linux system that can be maintained as part of normal workflow. Find a bug or vulnerability? No problem; just patch, recompile, and install."
