USENIX ATC '21/OSDI '21 Joint Keynote Address-It's Time for Operating Systems to Rediscover Hardware
USENIX · 12 recommenders · 9 months
Timothy Roscoe of ETH Zurich delivers the joint USENIX ATC/OSDI 2021 keynote arguing that operating systems must reckon with modern hardware, which is a heterogeneous collection of processors, firmware and coprocessors rather than a simple machine. It shows how much runs below and beside Linux.
Why Hacker News readers recommend it: Repeatedly recommended as a revelatory talk on how little control the main OS has over modern SoCs and PCs.
