This post summarizes the results of my AMD GPU benchmark code to benchmark the computing power of an AMD Radeon RX 480 GPU against an Intel Core i5-7400 CPU.
The benchmarking code I am running on is the following code:
__kernel void kerntest(__global char* data, int loops_cnt) {

Installing a Vanilla Linux Kernel on Fedora is quite simple (once one knows how to do it..)
One can start by cloning Torvalds' Linux repository to fetch the latest master (or we could fetch the latest stable release) :
$ git clone https://github.com/torvalds …There is a whole lot of files in the Documentation directory of the
Linux kernel source. Is it possible for a single person to read
the whole documentation ? Let's have a look at what's inside it.
$ pwd

To follow-up on my previous blog post about driving a YM2149F chip with an Arduino, I wrote an Arduino firmware that can be used together with a PC side Python script to send music to the YM2149F. All the code is available in the ym2149-streamer repository on GitHub.
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to get a Yamaha YM2149F chip. This chip is basically a clone of General Instrument's AY-3-8910, "a 3 voices programmable sound generator" widely used in the 80's in many arcade games and home computers (including the Atari ST and Amstrad CPC).
The …
There is already a number of resources available about programming the Arduino with or without the IDE (I won't discuss here the pros and cons of using it). This aims at being a quick memo for those who already have some knowledge about C programming, and just want the minimal …
Contrary to what I found on most websites when googling about comparisons between inkjet and laser printers, the cost per page on high end inkjet printers is lower than that of laser printers.
Moreover, when buying a new printer one has to consider the number of pages that will be …
At Cloudwatt, we have been operating a near hundred nodes Swift cluster in a unique datacenter for a few years. The decision to split the cluster on two datacenters has been taken recently. The goal is to have at least one replica of each object on each site in order …
When people talk about OpenStack Swift, we often hear the word Ring. This is because the Ring is a central piece in how Swift is working. But what is this thing everyone's talking about ?
The Ring refers to 3 files that are shared among every Swift nodes (storage and proxy …
