Intel's Open Image Denoise 2.5 Delivers Solid Performance Improvements For GPUs

Intel's Open Image Denoise is the open-source project providing a high performance denoising library for ray-tracing and used by the likes of Blender and other renderers/creative apps for powerful denoising capabilities

The developers of both #Redox OS and #Asterinas OS, two separate operating systems that are built on custom kernels written in the #Rust programming language, made big announcements in the past couple of weeks. Here's what to know.

#OpenSource

Rust-based Asterinas OS and Redox OS just got updated

Asterinas OS and Redox OS, two independent operating systems written in Rust, both gained new software ports and performance enhancements.

Asterinas 0.18 Released For Rust-Written, Memory Safe Linux Alternative OS

In addition to Redox OS continuing to evolve quite nicely for that from-scratch, Rust-based open-source OS, Asterinas OS is also continuing to move forward for that Rust-based operating system striving for Linux compatibility.

@mttaggart I am starting to look wistfully at newer kernels like #Asterinas

So I'm thinking about #Asterinas which is a kernel written in #Rust and has #Linux compatible ABI. Having Linux compatibility is a great deal as you get most of the support for Linux for free.

I've messaged on their Zulip asking if Milk V Duo could be a good option for porting. I wonder if they've got an active and vibrant community. I haven't received a reply yet.

There is also #Redox but I don't like licensing my code under MIT. And it's an entire OS and not just a kernel.

If you know a community about OS/kernel development and bare metal development as well, I would appreciate an invite.
