#mainframe
Wy don't we have already mainframe class operating systems, interconnects and high level language abstractions on top of Open RISC-V ISA designs?
What is a fricking #MainFrame system? It's a very specific ISA, implemented in a so many Virtual Machine Layers .. heck they even call themselves #LPARs (Logical Partitions). That it is nowadays run on a _bunch_ of different processors... All just coded down to give the optimum peak performance for decades old layers of code, whlie guaranteeing every single transaction.
Heck we develop RISC-V for rad hardnened stuff already, creating a quorum of several cores to make sure there is no error...
When will we enter the real space of big calculations and big transactions finally? ;)
Based on the above, you’d think there’s an ‘upgrade’ (the #mainframe 'died'), you’d think #Portugal is as important to the #EPO as #Germany (because Campinos is lobbying) • Techrights ⚓ http://techrights.org/2022/02/22/epo-military-grade-propaganda/ ䷉ #Techrights | ♾ Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/02/22/epo-military-grade-propaganda/

According to her #microsoft (yes, Microsoft) profile, Stefanie Chiras has been at #ibm for over 20 years. Just a few months more... #redhat can be handled by her as she worked with #mainframe stuff, i.e. #unix and #gnu #linux
