vroom VS hn-search

Maybe implement a big feature for a open source design? like vroom or xiangshan.

The two most micro architecturally advanced cores that I know of are BOOM, an out of order RV64GC core with all the features you expect plus sort of weird fancy things like short forward branch predication, and VROOM, another out of order RV64GC core with things like uop fusion and a trace cache.

I had VROOM! in mind (https://github.com/MoonbaseOtago/vroom) because I remembered it aims for 4 IPC avg with a width of 8. Though looking again it's 8 compressed 16 bit instructions or 4 uncompressed 32 bit instruction.

So you could argue a real mix of instructions is not going to be all 16 bit but some 16 and some 32, so the 8 is rarely achieved in practice, and also the block diagram only shows 4 decode blocks. But it can in fact peak at 8 instructions decoded per clock, so I think that qualifies. (You could even argue it's especially impressive, since RISC-V technically qualifies as variable-length encoding like x86, it's just that only 16/32 instructions are really used at the moment)

If you are interested in high performance look into vroom , c910 and xianghan, maybe you could adopt one of them.

On top of what others mentioned (Red Hat) , it is also possible to go with the mysql/mariadb model of dual licensing, you can have a copyleft license where you must contribute back changes, but also allow selling an proprietary license if they want to enhance it but not share the improvements (like amazon or Ampere Computing that enhance ARM designs and sells it for servers), there is already a RISK-V implementation that aims to do that (vroom). another option is a non profit foundation that companies contribute to because they use the project and want it to be better (like the linux foundation) , risc-v has similar nonprofits like the chips alliance (which develops the Rocket-Chip ) or the OpenHW Group (which develops CVA6), there is also lowrisc which develops ibex (but as far as i can tell isn't governed by the contributing companies like the other non profits).

You want a very optimistic answer? someone is working on open source server core, It is already announced and i have been told it is somewhere around four years for a chip to ship after announcement so i would say 4 years from now.

At the moment the Apple M1/M2 are the king of wide decode. Within a couple of years you will see equally wide decode and execute of RISC-V from companies such as Rivos, or indeed open source and GPL'd projects such as VROOM! (https://github.com/MoonbaseOtago/vroom)

> True performance RISCV designs are going to be people's money maker and never open sourced.

That turns out not to be the case.

Alibaba's C910 core -- roughly comparable to the ARM A72 cores (at the same MHz) in the Pi 4 -- is open sourced. It is being used, at 2.5 GHz, in the upcoming "Roma" laptop. That is rather expensive (for now), but I suspect the same TH1520 SoC will quickly find its way onto cheaper SBCs.

There is a very wide OoO GPL'd RISC-V core that is under development. It is aiming for eventual Apple M1 level performance. The current iteration is falling short of that at the moment, but it's already comparable to the ARM A76 in the latest RK3588 SBCs: https://github.com/MoonbaseOtago/vroom

Then you can help open source hardware designs like xiangshan or vroom.

Vision therapy for myopia helps some people, but not everyone, likely due to genetic and neuroplasticity differences, https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... Nevertheless, many of the principles are useful for children whose eyes and brains are still developing.

I'm a huge Tesla skeptic, but Tesla and Musk are lightning rods for tabloid-style garbage that doesn't belong on HN, so it doesn't surprise me that we often see negative Tesla content flagged to death. Meanwhile we also see plenty of content that hits the front page and stays there [0].

Do you have examples of professional, interesting Tesla content that got flagged?

It's April 23rd, 2024, and I am still looking for a good, reliable, honest and simple search engine.

All I want to do is search.

No AI.

No ads.

No shopping.

Please don't "Answer my question." I enjoy doing my own original research, thanks.

I'm entirely willing - wanting even - to pay for it.

Currently Kagi has my $, but I'm saddened and frustrated that they're not even focused on Search, they're focused on AI[1] and t-shirts.

Amazingly, in 2024, there is still a market opportunity for a good search engine.

It can't really just be me, can it?

For historical purposes

Most likely because there have been oodles of low-quality stories on these topics. We turned the flags off on this one since it maybe rises above the noise (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... for past explanations on how we approach that).

Hey HN,

I'm sure you've seen the monthly "Ask HN: What Are You Working On?" headlines on [Hacker News](https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

Honestly, it's my favorite topic because it's packed with insights about what other hackers are up to.

I wondered what it would be like if instead of just a headline, there was a whole website where hackers could post daily updates, and where we could follow the hackers we're interested in for their latest updates. And so, this web site was born.

I hope it gets used frequently so we can all benefit from it together. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Let me know what you think!

I don't know what one thing you're referring to, but it's a core principle of HN to try to avoid repetition, and especially the repetition+indignation combo, which is the commonest and most tedious thing on the internet.
