@neobrain@mastodon.social had a talk at #39c3 about FEX-Emu! A very informative presentation about how FEX works to round out the end of the year. Definitely worth the watch!

Welcome back, take off your shoes and relax, it’s been a while since our last release. With all of the regression hunting sorted out, we now have around two months worth of changes to go over. Let’s jump in to some of the changes that happened!

A fun display for why TSO memory model emulation can hurt so much in video games. Many games need to update GPU buffers over PCIe using uncached atomic stores, but you only get reasonable bandwidth with non-atomic stores. This is why sometimes you get >65% CPU time inside of a simple memcpy/memset.
