Desktop memory usage
This was actually supposed to be a follow-up to my tests of startup performance of various desktop environments, primarily KDE of course. In fact I even did most of the benchmarks some time after the startup ones, but, alas, I'm much better at writing things that computers are supposed to read than at writing things that people will read (some volunteer to write good user documentation for KWin's window specific settings, BTW Eye-wink ?) I even meant to make a somewhat more extensive analysis of the numbers, but having never found time to write that, I decided I should publish at least a shorter variant with all the numbers and some conclusions. You can do your own analyses of the numbers if you will.
These memory benchmarks are meant to measure various cases of desktop configuration and compare KDE to some other desktop environments ... and since it's actually a bit too long for a blog entry, I've put the complete version here. I'm not going to put any numbers here, but let me say that some of the numbers comparing KDE, GNOME, Xfce and Window Maker are quite interesting (and they come from one of my favourite hero tools Exmap, so they shouldn't be completely off the track). However, one thing I'm going to copy here is the final section titled The things we should learn from this:

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
