Minix-3. Hmmmm. I like that fact, but I just to not have any |
| 16 |
extra_energy for another OS/rtos. Power-arch is not an option for me. |

So much good information, I am going to have to ponder a few deep |
| 20 |
choices on controlling the bios/firmware 100%. Perhaps arm64 embedded |
| 21 |
boards with at least (4) gig of ddr-4. Perhaps mobos where open user |
| 22 |
controllable firmware is available. AMD with PSP, looks as bad |
| 23 |
as Intel-ME? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Perhaps old AMD systems, pre PSP, internet facing with a HPC cluster |
| 27 |
behind them, where resources are source via the HPC cluster, which |
| 28 |
actually fits in well with a HPC-Hybrid gentoo cluster approach. |

|
| 31 |
Since I have been work on my own HPC gentoo clusters, I'm more motivated |
| 32 |
to put something "I" control onto an arm64 variant, until RiscV matures |
| 33 |
or FPGA come way down in price. Perhaps a Front-end-core-system out of |
| 34 |
old discreet logic chips of yore? Or modern PLA/PLD boards, some of |
| 35 |
which are 3D-printable now ? |
