description

the aim of this research effort is to either compile linux entirely to PTX (NVIDIA ISA) and run it on a single GPU Core (probably slow, if possible)

• or -

engage in ongoing gcc efforts to make PTX/nvidia a compile target but parallize sequential assembly control flow as much as possible on multiple GPU cores, even if this means running parts of the code simultaenously more than once.

the goal of this project is to get linux running on a NVIDIA graphics card at any performance, or to find accurate / prospects of feasibility.

we allocate a total of €200.000 to this repository, €0 of which has been paid.

input

• consider https://bellard.org/jslinux/ and https://gpu.rocks/#/
• consider LLVM
