What's the difference between RVA23 and RV64GC? https://github.com/riscv/riscv-profiles/blob/main/src/rva23-profile.adoc | 17:47:12 |

https://github.com/riscv/riscv-profiles/blob/main/src/rva23-profile.adoc Oh nice | 17:47:54 |
| Tristan Ross | Floating points and vectors will be great to have | 17:48:23 |
| Tristan Ross | Hopefully chips go with a good implementation of things in the silicon | 17:48:56 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | before I log off; think of RV64GC as Arm-v8 and RVA23 as SBBR or whatever they call their Server Platform base thingy | 17:49:18 |

Floating points and vectors will be great to have g already contains imafd ;) | 17:49:46 |

before I log off; think of RV64GC as Arm-v8 and RVA23 as SBBR or whatever they call their Server Platform base thingy Ooh, hopefully this brings RISC-V chips a bit closer to being more performant | 17:51:22 |

g already contains imafd ;) Didn't realize that | 17:51:31 |

Didn't realize that More precisely, G is shorthand for IMAFD_Zicsr_Zifencei. | 18:21:37 |
| Tristan Ross | Oh, I know zicsr and zifencei | 18:35:38 |

 Mic92 | We are just one pull request away from having our first image for nixos-anywhere: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/321991 | 13:27:36 |
| Mic92 | However I currently don't have hardware that I can kexec on, so I would appreciate if someone could run a test of it. | 13:28:08 |
| Mic92 | Image itself will be here: https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-images/pull/243 | 13:28:19 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | Oh wow, didn't know we came this far! | 13:29:14 |
| Mic92 | nix-community.cachix.org will than also cache some core-components for cross compiling NixOS from x86 to riscv64. | 13:29:20 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | *we've come | 13:29:20 |
 [0x4A6F] | Currently not near my devices. But it is build and I will check soonish. | 14:04:18 |

nix-community.cachix.org will than also cache some core-components for cross compiling NixOS from x86 to riscv64. What about cross compiling from aarch64 to riscv64? | 04:20:53 |
 @cnx:loang.net | why x86 and aarch64 when amd64 chips with good single thread perf are much more common? | 09:34:12 |
| Alex | In reply to @cnx:loang.net
why x86 and aarch64 when amd64 chips with good single thread perf are much more common? I'm pretty sure amd64 is what Mic was referring to when they said "x86". | 10:48:28 |
| Alex | It's quite a common way of referring to the whole family of x86_64 ISAs. | 10:49:39 |

We are just one pull request away from having our first image for nixos-anywhere: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/321991 just tried building an iso from an x86 machine and was reminded of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/231537 | 13:19:29 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | any idea on the blockers on this? maybe I could help? | 13:19:44 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | on rev: 4c547b66635455ad061d4beecaf1805810dc0428 | 13:20:24 |
| Mic92 | Pratham Patel (you can mention me): do you have any VM or hardware that has a kernel with kexec enabled? | 13:20:29 |
