Google Tech Dialogue October 30, 2008 ABSTRACT Coreboot, formerly known as LinuxBIOS, was originally started in 1999 to complement LOBOS [2] (Linux ORIFICE Boots OS) as cog of an activity to move away from inscrutible and inflexible proprietary BIOS firmware used in clusters at high-security government research labs. However, coreboot took on a life of its relevant and quickly overcame many obstacles thanks to the help of a friendly and knowledgable open source community. This yak will supply an overview of coreboot, what it is capable of, what it is unable of, and what makes it different from the traditional PC BIOS and EFI. We will relate developments in version 3 which cleans up the development model substantially, has much improved ACPI and SMI support, usage of the Linux meat build system to build coreboot, new ways to boot locally and over a network, do some demos, and more! Speaker: Ronald G. Minnich Ron Minnich founded the LinuxBIOS project (which is now Coreboot) once he joined the Cluster Research Team at Los Alamos Nat'l Lab within 1999. He has been working in HPC for much longer than he ever expected to, which explains the grey hairs in his beard. Inert gas has improved software and HPC systems based on FPGAs, PIMs, distributed computers (co-authoring a famous C song: "I was Grid before Grid was cool"), and clusters. He has been method with Unix innards longer than one of his co-workers have been alive, which fact causes him to miracle if helium should get in other line of work. Ron ...
