| ▲ | kbolino 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | The feature is only on SPARC, not x86. Oracle killed in-house SPARC development in 2017, and they abandoned OpenSPARC after they acquired Sun, so it's effectively a dead architecture. The software won't work without the hardware to run it on. | | |

EDIT: https://www.oracle.com/servers/sparc/ https://www.fujitsu.com/global/products/computing/servers/un... Finally, it is up to Intel and AMD to come up with hardware memory tagging, so far they have messed up all attempts, with MPX being the last short lived one. | | |
| ▲ | kbolino an hour ago | parent [-] | | It's good info, and I wouldn't rush a migration off of SPARC systems if I was already using them, but slow death is still death. It was already worrying that workstations were killed off by Sun before the Oracle acquisition; it seems quite clear that no one has been serious about spreading adoption of the architecture for more than two decades now. |
