💻 New to FreeBSD? Getting started is easier than you think.

As more people explore FreeBSD beyond servers, we're showing just how simple it is to dive in — even on a MacBook. Whether you're installing from scratch or trying out a virtual machine, FreeBSD offers flexible options to fit your setup.

abstract = {To complement existing compiler-optimization methods we propose a programming model and a runtime system called BMDFM (Binary Modular DataFlow Machine), a novel hybrid parallel environment for SMP (Shared Memory Symmetric Multiprocessors), that creates a data-dependence graph and exploits parallelism of user application programs at run time. This thesis describes the design and provides a detailed analysis of BMDFM, which uses a dataflow runtime engine instead of a plain fork-join runtime library, thus providing transparent dataflow semantics on the top virtual machine level. Our hybrid approach eliminates disadvantages of the parallelization at compile-time, the directive based paradigm and the dataflow computational model. BMDFM is portable and is already implemented on a set of available SMP platforms. The transparent dataflow paradigm does not require parallelization and synchronization directives. The BMDFM runtime system shields the end-users from these details.},

yk what i'll just tell you what's wrong

even when i select the "no passthrough please" option, when the systemd output is on screen it ocasionally says something along the lines of "the gpu is already bound to vfio" which leads me to believe that the boot option is not working bc it's not letting the host use what i'm passing through to it. oddly enough i can't use virt-manager when i'm not in passthrough mode

yea i need help pls help me
:BlobCat_BigSob: #nixos #nix #vfio #virtualmachine #virtualmachines my current virtualisation config is at github.com/JuxGD/nixconfig/blob/94d149a7d81fbd48735a091a7d0fa470318d79a6/virtualisation.nix

(edit: I FIXED IT it's all good go check the latest version of the file :3 the structure was totally off but it's fine now)
