IBM's Power11 Processor Architecture at Hot Chips 2025

news.ycombinator.com Ryan Smith 2025-11-04 12:43:13

Third up on today’s CPU track is IBM. Big Blue is at the conference to talk about its latest generation Power architecture chip, the Power11. IBM starts off by recapping Power. Why it exists, and what IBM’s goals are for the processor and architecture. IBM is very system-focused, rather than focusing on selling just CPUs. 1P and 2P systems, all the way up to 16P “glueless” systems. Recapping the Power release history, Power10 has proven to be very successful for IBM, “beyond our wildest dreams

Like Intel before it, AMD blames motherboard makers for burnt-out CPUs

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-04 14:37:50

AMD's X3D-series Ryzen chips have become popular with PC gamers because games in particular happen to benefit disproportionately from the chips' extra 64MB of L3 cache memory. But that extra memory occasionally comes with extra headaches. Not long after they were released earlier this year, some early adopters started having problems with their CPUs, ranging from failure to boot to actual physical scorching and burnout—the problems were particularly common for users of the 9800X3D processor in A

A visual introduction to big O notation

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-03 02:39:36

Big O notation is a way of describing the performance of a function without using time. Rather than timing a function from start to finish, big O describes how the time grows as the input size increases. It is used to help understand how programs will perform across a range of inputs. In this post I'm going to cover 4 frequently-used categories of big O notation: constant, logarithmic, linear, and quadratic. Don't worry if these words mean nothing to you right now. I'm going to talk about them

The New Face of Data Engineering: No-Code, High Velocity, and AI-Driven

Data engineering is experiencing rapid transformation due to artificial intelligence’s (AI) modification of work processes and responsibilities.

Subaru Solterra first drive: Big improvements in all the right places for 2026

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-05 14:00:23

When Subaru's first electric car launched in late 2021, the Solterra had something of a problem: It wasn't exactly competitive in any of the major factors that EV buyers typically look for. Its 220-mile range and 215-horsepower output were middling at best when compared to vehicles like the Tesla Model Y. Its quirky styling didn't exactly help, either. For 2026, Subaru is giving the Solterra a significant up-do. Don't call it a reboot, as it's still very much the same SUV as before, but with mo

In-Memory Filesystems in Rust

In-memory Filesystems in Rust I’ve been working on a CLI tool recently, and one of the things it does is manage files on disk. I have written a lot of file management tests for Bundler, and the two biggest reasons that the Bundler test suite is slow are exec and fstat . Knowing that, I thought I would try to get out ahead of the slow file stat problem by using an in-memory filesystem for testing.

news.ycombinator.com Jerónimo López 2025-11-01 21:34:32

A few days ago, the creators of DuckDB wrote the article: Query Engines: Gatekeepers of the Parquet File Format, which explained how the engines that process Parquet files as SQL tables are blocking the evolution of the format. This is because those engines are not fully supporting the latest specification, and without this support, the rest of the ecosystem has no incentive to adopt it. In my experience, this issue is not limited to Query Engines but extends to the tools within the ecosystem.
