pmc(3) support

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

The performance monitoring counters API pmc(3) of FreeBSD 6-stable doesn’t support yet Core 2 duo processors, so I can’t work with FreeBSD 6-stable/Parallels/recent Macbook as I thought some time ago. Furthermore Parallels doesn’t support Symmetric MultiProcessor (SMP) yet. Hence I’ll work mainly on a FreeBSD 6-stable/AMDX2 station.

Recent activities

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

In the recent weeks, I was really busy between the university and research programs both in France and Belgium, dramatic art scenes for the end of the year, the opera troup – we played Die Zauberflöte auf Mozart – and a photograph competition (Louis Lumière).

Nowadays I’m getting familiar with Python and wxPython, and building an experimental primitive graphical user interface (GUI).
