Michael B. JohnsonHow do I know this?
I was the project lead, although the best parts of it were written by my smarter collaborator Michael O’Brien (eventually SVP of R&D at Technicolor).
This story is *not* the 32 to 64 bit transition.
This is just us trying to get another GB of address space, where we leveraged the ongoing Linux port work w/alot of our own.
Now that I think about it, all the impactful work I’ve done in my career happened in 32 bits of address space.
4GB always seemed like a lot to me.
During production of Finding Nemo, we started using Linux boxes in addition to SGIs.
Why?
3D painting software we wrote for laying out coral was written in C++ using templates, and the debug info was too large for IRIX, but was debuggable on Linux.
Was this a 32 bit vs. 64 bit issue?
No.
IRIX reserved half the address space for the kernel, while Linux only did a quarter.
So on Linux, we had 3GB, and the symbols fit.
It was a 32 bit show, both machines had 4GB max.
Plenty for Finding Nemo.

Codeberg AnnouncementsFollowing a decision by the Codeberg e. V.'s Presidium, Codeberg e. V. has joined the ranks of many organizations as a co-signatory of the draft letter of the "Keep Android Open" initiative: https://keepandroidopen.org/draft-letter/
Apart from the impact on the many independent developers hosting their source code on https://codeberg.org, we are concerned by the greater societal implications the Android ecosystem's current trajectory will cause. For more information, see: https://keepandroidopen.org

Graham Sutherland / PolynomialTIL that Intel allocates AVX-512 mask registers from the x87/MMX register file. neat trick!
Obsidian Urbex PhotographyIndustrial #ArtDeco, at its finest! This abandoned powerplant plant control room in Hungary was powered down decades ago.
The oval room is lit by an immense skylight, which casts dramatic light across the original green metal control panels. These walls remain lined with levers, valves, and dials.
Without a doubt, one of my favourite adventures. I have visited three times now!
