From its inception in 1991, the Linux kernel has been developed in tandem with the GNU toolchain, specifically the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and GNU Binutils. Linus Torvalds wrote early kernel code relying on features unavailable in the ISO C standard or in other compilers.

THE MAN WHO BUILT AN ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM… SOLO >meet Terry A. Davis >built TempleOS completely alone >wrote every line — kernel, compiler, graphics, everything >100,000+ lines of pure solo engineering no libraries no frameworks no borrowed code >created his own language:

The Linux kernel authorities are currently discussing whether to enable support for Microsoft C (MSVC) language extensions. Sounds like heresy? It turns out, this is about the growing importance of the Clang compiler. The patches under review do not aim to compile Linux with

Terry Davis, a schizophrenic programmer, single-handedly built an entire operating system from scratch “TempleOS” including its kernel, compiler, and graphics engine, turning his delusions into one of the most unique and fascinating pieces of software ever created.

You can just do things you know. The only limit is the fake gatekeeping voice in your head. Open an IDE and code whatever you want. A physics simulator, a compiler, a game engine, an operating system. Nobody said you need a PhD to write a kernel. Linus didn’t ask permission.

另外一个很容易验证的方法就是，看orcl最近招聘的职位里，有没有显著增加framework/kernel/compiler/ASIC的招聘 比如Anthropic 5月就开始招TPU kernel工程师，远远早于他们正式宣布用TPU的时间，甚至远远早于小道消息用TPU的时间 从这个渠道来看，orcl起码目前没有做ASIC的打算

How does the Linux kernel BPF JIT compiler work? There are JIT compilers which usually translate to machine code via some IR. But the kernel JIT directly generates machine code. A BPF program is compiled to bytecode for a register based virtual machine which is interpreted

One of the best ways to reduce LLM latency is by fusing all computation and communication into a single GPU megakernel. But writing megakernels by hand is extremely hard. 🚀Introducing Mirage Persistent Kernel (MPK), a compiler that automatically transforms LLMs into optimized

In the mid-1980s, Apple was transitioning to the Macintosh platform but lacked a native C compiler. Apple contracted Green Hills Software which produced a robust C compiler for the Mac, helping Apple. Today, Green Hills is best known for INTEGRITY, its real-time operating system

The left Triton kernel despite being extremely ugly, is ~2.5× faster. Introducing tl.reduce causes a big performance hit, which is weird since the last-axis size should be known at compile time, so I’d expect the compiler to fully unroll the loop. https://t.co/1QqxpNKrp6

Stop fixing AI pilots one by one. You're not improving proposals one at a time. You're improving the compiler. Each kernel update makes ALL future proposals better. Build the system. Compound the... https://t.co/gmmDSKZkWa

I am God's chosen programmer. He has endowed me with divine intellect, like the authors of the Bible. It has no code I did not write. It never runs code I did not write. I am the best programmer on the planet. I wrote a 64-bit compiler, assembler, kernel, debugger, bootloader,

Seeing how far I can take an OS build with Grok4 Heavy. So far I've built the cross‑compiler, kernel entry, and some basic kernel code. I'm now working on the global descriptor table. It boots on real hardware!
