1 year ago - monolithic, modular, holistic
- distributed, decentralized, federated
- central components, e.g., authority
- RTOS vs general purpose OS...
- OS development
- timers, interrupts, events, async
- interfaces between components
- FreeBSD kernel+userland vs Linux being separate (interface: syscalls)
- web services and apps: interface is OS or other services, "full-stack" is a holistic approach...
- variants of RPC etc: REST, GraphQL, ... pub/sub + request/response ....
- programming languages + compilers
- runtimes, interpreters
- syntax, macros, primitives
- hardware + firmware + OS, virtualization
- security: platform behind interface must validate, balance load, isolation, layering, access controls...
- EDA, chips, PCBs
- organizations and tooling
- FOSSi Foundation
- OSHWA
- KiCad
- LiteX
- FPGA dev tools
- general purpose silicon vs ASIC
- FPGA, MCU, SoC, CPU, fabrics, chiplets
- multicore, multithreading, parallelism
- RISC/CISC, instruction sets, ISAs
- memory, peripherals, IO
- memory management
- memory protection
- memory mapped IO
- IOMMU
- local vs "global" state, stale
- temporary/ephemeral/volatile, cache + invalidation, persistent/non-volatile, TLB
- busses, co-processors, offloading
- AMBA etc
- HPC, graphics, data centers
- power saving, mobile
- simplicity, complexity vs complication, simplification
