AMDgpu is an open source device driver for the Linux operating system developed by AMD to support its Radeon lineup of graphics cards (GPUs). It was announced in 2014 as the successor to the previous radeon device driver as part of AMD's new "unified" driver strategy, [3] and was released on April 20, 2015.
Loadable kernel modules in Linux are loaded (and unloaded) by the modprobe command. They are located in /lib/modules or /usr/lib/modules and have had the extension .ko ("kernel object") since version 2.6 (previous versions used the .o extension). [5] The lsmod command lists the loaded kernel modules.
For 2D rendering, the DDX driver must also take into account the DRI clients using the same graphics device. the access to the video card or graphics adapter is regulated by a kernel component called the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM). [10] Both the X Server's DDX driver and each X client's DRI driver must use DRM to access the graphics hardware.
The Yellowdog Updater Modified (YUM) is a free and open-source command-line package-management utility for computers running the Linux operating system using the RPM Package Manager. [4] Though YUM has a command-line interface, several other tools provide graphical user interfaces to YUM functionality.
Ubuntu releases are also given code names, using an adjective and an animal with the same first letter – an alliteration, e.g., "Dapper Drake".With the exception of the first two releases, code names are in alphabetical order, and except for the first three releases, the first letters are sequential, allowing a quick determination of which release is newer.
OpenJDK (Open Java Development Kit) is a free and open-source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE). [2] It is the result of an effort Sun Microsystems began in 2006, four years before the company was acquired by Oracle Corporation.
Modes for the Linux bonding driver [14] (network interface aggregation modes) are supplied as parameters to the kernel bonding module at load time. They may be given as command-line arguments to the insmod or modprobe commands, but are usually specified in a Linux distribution-specific configuration file. The behavior of the single logical ...
Reverse engineering advancements focused around a USB descriptor parsing vulnerability in 3.41 firmware, which allowed running the Linux kernel on 3.41 firmware. [53] [54] The current state of the project is the ability to load the Linux kernel via TFTP and run it with access to all 7 SPEs (requires applying a small patch to the kernel). The ...
