"With great power, comes great power consumption" - uncle Mike
@ralfbaechle
I have a déjà-vu experience. Already 100Mbit/s networking was able to overwhelm the CPUs of the time so something called NAPI was invented to switch between interrupt amd polled mode amd the benefits were exactly as described in the video. There was also the issue that with small packets a CPU may actually become entirely stuck servimg only interrupts.

Less cost for datacentres same cost for renters & users.
@l0gic23
Consider linking directly to the TWIL episode. Will help Google recommendations as well... Currently YT is not associating the two episodes and recommendations show other channels instead of the relevant video.

Nice information. Unfortunatly efficiency gains always get eat up by a rise in usage and consumption. It's like the 5G that is more efficient than the 4G but in the end we keep using more and more data, high resolutions videos etc. It's the Jevon effect
@Traumatree
Love this! With Great Power comes a huge amount of electricity! NVIDIA should adopt this moto! Edit: Software inefficiencies has plagued IT and computing since mid '90s and was always solved by adding more hardware instead of paying true programmers and not copy&pasting kiddies - and this will get worse with AI where everybody now think they are all master programmer.
@TechKnowledge2003
Thanks for the information
@JSiuDev
This really should be backported, maybe after 6 months.
@MrMysticphantom
some of this actually coming from the BSD space where its been there for a while. Networking and packet management has always been quite suboptimal in Linux, in the weirdest sense sometimes worse than windows. But hey, im glad to see this stuff changing for the better both the NAPI Suspension Mechanism and rtnl_lock
@halledwardb
Wow. Thanks!
@ТЇІІ
great now we can build even more datacenters
@godtable
1% per line of code! Add some more, we may go 0 electricity consumption! 🤪
@autohmae
4:52 this is not that, this is: we didn't know we could do it this way, we've put a lot of effort into this already in the past decades, someone figured out an improvement on this.
@LokiScarletWasHere
Technically answering a question with a rhetorical question isn't answering a question with a question. It's just a facetious way of phrasing the answer jeopardy-style
@arunkhan4951
Where do you apply this patch? Most Linux distros are at 6.6 or older. The distros need to be urged to back port the changes to their respective kernels and release the kernel update package. The way you are saying it, it's making the kernel update trivial.
@HaydonRyan
Great argument to use compiled languages instead of interpreted ones…
@marcusfleuti2672
We always first optimize software before we invest into new hardware. Also one more good reason why we install Linux on old hardwareand give it a second live 😁
@Ju13n1s2e9
question: Does this energy saving applies to every cpu architecture or just a few that have a specific capability ?
@Fractal227
30% saved, means 30% free, nothing will be saved xD
