Ehay2k<a href="https://mendeddrum.org/@fanf" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@fanf</a> Oh. I'm feeling so very old.😢.I remember setting up a 750 MB mirrored set of drives on a Sun 4/260 to run a "large" Oracle DB. That was more storage than the entire set of Wang VS systems we were replacing. We were told we would NEVER need that much storage. 😂😂😂😂😂<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WangVS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WangVS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/oracle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oracle</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sunmicrosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sunmicrosystems</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sparc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sparc</a>

Несерьёзный ВыдумщикОбщеобразовательное о том, какие процессоры могут быть по архитектуре. С экскурсом в историю развития. «Как Intel создал ARM, ARM похоронил MIPS, на очереди X86?» На нескольких видео-хостингах: <ul><li><a href="https://rutube.ru/video/bd42ae858d9fec2ea3bdc5ff70ddf28f/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rutube.ru/video/bd42ae858d9fec2ea3bdc5ff70ddf28f/</a></li><li><a href="https://dzen.ru/video/watch/67e30b33a68eb647c136e44f" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dzen.ru/video/watch/67e30b33a68eb647c136e44f</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbKQJ9W5dmo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbKQJ9W5dmo</a></li></ul>Как «яблоко» <a class="hashtag" href="https://idealists.su/tag/apple" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> и «жёлудь» <a class="hashtag" href="https://idealists.su/tag/acorn" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Acorn</a> объединившись создали ARM — Advanced RISC Machines в 1990-м, хотя в оригинале это было Acorn RISC Machine с 1985-м года.Первый релиз на ARM6 состоялся в 1992-м году и был это КПК — Apple Newton PDA на базе процессора ARM610.Для получения именно десктопного процессора <a class="hashtag" href="https://idealists.su/tag/powerpc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PowerPC</a> эта же самая Apple с 1991 года была в альянсе с <a class="hashtag" href="https://idealists.su/tag/ibm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IBM</a> и <a class="hashtag" href="https://idealists.su/tag/motorola" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Motorola</a> работавшими над <a class="hashtag" href="https://idealists.su/tag/risc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RISC</a> процессором архитектуры Power.

Sun Microdevil Pte LtdAnyone here familiar with SPARC binutils internals? I'm having a rather odd case where the same instruction (and same binary sequence) gets interpreted differently depending on who compiles it :cirnothinking: Say, I have this `decode.s` file containing the following line: decode: addxccc %g0, %g0, %g0One VIS3 instruction, very simple. Then assemble it with both gcc and clang: gcc -mcpu=niagara4 -c decode.s -o decode-gcc.o clang -mcpu=niagara4 -c decode.s -o decode-clang.oAnd now, if I run objdump on the files, the results are different: decode-clang.o: file format elf64-sparcDisassembly of section .text:0000000000000000 <decode>: 0: 81 b0 02 60 unknownCompare with GCC's: decode-gcc.o: file format elf64-sparcDisassembly of section .text:0000000000000000 <decode>: 0: 81 b0 02 60 addxccc %g0, %g0, %g0In both cases the binary stream is the same, but why does objdump decodes it as "unknown" with the clang-built file?<a href="https://uwu.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://uwu.social/tags/Binutils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Binutils</a> <a href="https://uwu.social/tags/GCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GCC</a> <a href="https://uwu.social/tags/SPARC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SPARC</a>
