Linux is an open-source operating system (OS) based on Unix that runs on computers, servers, mobile phones and a wide range of other devices.
With no kernel preemption, tasks can’t be interrupted once they start executing code in the kernel or a driver. When a user space process requests a kernel service, no other task can be scheduled to run until that process either goes to sleep or until the kernel request is completed. Sch...
A device driver is a special code that interfaces a physical device into the system and exports it to the user-space processes using a well-defined API. In a UNIX-like OS, where everything is a file, the physical device is represented as a file. Then, the device driver implements all ...
What driver is needed for Fusion-io ioDrive devices? LVM on Fusion IO drives does not get activated at boot time. A Linux kernel module, or device driver, for Virident flash storage devices has not yet been provided under an Open Source license, such as the GPL, to enable Red Hat to ...
What driver is needed for EMC XtremSF flash devices? A Linux kernel module, or device driver, for Virident flash storage devices has not yet been provided under an Open Source license, such as the GPL, to enable Red Hat to distribute it with the Linux Kernel. Therefore, it must be obtai...
Legacy GPUs are older-generation NVIDIA GPUs which are no longer supported in the regular NVIDIA Unified UNIX Graphics Driver. Instead, these GPUs will continue to be supported through special "Legacy GPU" drivers that will be updated periodically to add support for new versions of Linux system ...
The Linux Kernel Device Model: An abstraction for managing components: What they are, where they are; How they're related to each other; What services they offer to users; How they respond to state changes; Merely a set of data structures!Bill Gatliff...

AMD seems to be primarily targeting Ubuntu. To be fair, they are targeting Ubuntu and RHEL with their legacy AMDGPU-PRO linux driver and Ubuntu, Centos, RHEL and SLES with their modern ROCm open source driver but only Ubuntu is fully supported with the ROCm Data Center Tool and everything...
Linux-based images in Azure Marketplace include base distributions and images with preinstalled software for specific scenarios. All images contain the software and configuration that is needed to ensure smooth operation on Azure VMs. This includes kernel-level driver support for Azure infrastructure like...
