Nvidia has extended a helping hand to the developers working on Nouveau, the open source Linux driver for Nvidia graphics cards, in a move that comes rather out of the blue.
To be precise, Nvidia has released further GPU hardware documents to aid the project which has had its fair share of thorny issues, shall we say.
Nvidia contacted Phoronix in an emailed statement which reads: “Nvidia has released public, freely available (MIT licensed) documentation of portions of its GPU hardware interface.
This is a work in progress; not all interfaces have been published.”
The documents largely pertain to Pascal, Maxwell, and Kepler GPUs, the three generations previous to Turing (Volta is also covered).
Sadly, the latest Turing graphics cards aren’t covered here, because they are simply too new, and work on compiling their open source documentation is still a work in progress, apparently.
Once third-party results confirmed AMD's outstanding benchmarks and retail delivery was a success, the big remaining question was: could the company extend its 7nm success story to mobile and server CPUs?
Yesterday, AMD formally launched its new line of Epyc 7002 "Rome" series CPUs—and it seems to have answered the server half of that question pretty thoroughly.
Rome offers far more CPU threads per socket than Intel's Xeon Scalable CPUs do.
While it's easy to complain that Intel CPUs have an unfair advantage in MKL-DNN benchmarks, it is representative of the kind of entrenched advantage Intel enjoys—and it's a real advantage.
On vendor-neutral and multithreading-friendly workloads such as x265 video and OpenSSL, the Rome CPUs significantly outperformed the Xeons across the board.
In the past, that sharp delta in cost efficiency has forced a project to seriously consider putting up with added machine count and more complex overall architecture.
It gives us immense pleasure to announce the latest release of the Orangescrum Open Source base code.
Orangescrum Open source edition offers simple yet highly effective project and task management absolutely free for its users. You can create unlimited projects, milestones and tasks to collaborate among your teams.
Release Summary
The release consists of code & UI/UX improvements, bug fixes and deprecation issues fixes.
The best thing about this release among others is the ability to directly invite/add users to Orangescrum without the SMTP setup. It saves you time and hassle of setting up email configuration to get your team on-board.
How to add users in the Orangescrum V1.8.0?
Click on “Add User” on the User list page. The revised pop-up has an additional field for “password”.
The admin can set a password of his choice and once he has successfully added the user, he can share the email id and password with the user to login.
The user can login to the tool and change password if he wishes to.

That is not strange at all, that the majority of those, who are deeply interested in the contribution into that really interesting and potentially successful environment are looking for the opportunities to do so.
For instance, nowadays, we could see a rapid increase in the number of open source applications upon different platforms.
So, making a long story short, an open source software is a software, which makes it possible for a user to view, copy and edit the code.
For instance, one of the most popular and famous proprietary softwares could be called Windows, Apple, WinRAR or App Store.
It erected, when different groups of programmers came up with an idea, that it seems to be impossible any more to follow the old traditions of the pioneers of that business, and there is a great need in a more open and free market.
There are several pretty important points, which give us an opportunity to say, that the open source softwares are one of the best modern decisions for the whole world of cyber industry.
