ASRock monitors bring WiFi above the desktop, new task scheduler improves CPU latency

For a better signal: Bring WiFi and Bluetooth to the top of the desktop ASRock recently launched a new Phantom Gaming gaming monitor, with its most prominent features besides 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms (MPRT) response time, support for AMD FreeSync Premium It is the first time to integrate a WiFi antenna. "Since ancient times, ASRock has produced demon boards" because ASRock will adopt some special designs that other manufacturers dare not try. This time, ASRock's integration of the WiFi antenna in the display is not to allow the display to support wireless projection, but to improve the WiFi signal. ASRock believes that the desktop WiFi antenna is better (7dBi gain) than the shielded back antenna. Of course, at present, WiFi is still not as stable as wired networks in terms of delay. Perhaps this desktop antenna may be more practical for improving Bluetooth signals. New Nest System Scheduling Method Improves CPU Performance: Some researchers from the French Institute of Information and Automation, Oracle Labs, and the University of Sydney are developing a new Linux system CPU scheduling method called Nest, which can be used according to different application scenarios. Modern hardware offers performance improvements ranging from 10% to 200%. Nest is especially useful for light to moderate workloads on CPUs with large core counts. The existing Linux CFS scheduler tends to evenly distribute computing tasks to as many CPU cores as possible, but the CPU multi-core acceleration frequency is lower than that of a single core or a small number of cores. Nest's strategy is to focus lightly threaded workloads on as few CPU cores as possible and reap the performance gains from higher CPU boost frequencies. The Nest scheduler will split the CPUs into two groups, all light or moderate workloads will be on cores in the main group, and it will even actively ping some cores in the main group to make sure it doesn't go into deep sleep. If there are not enough active cores, Nest will move cores from the spare group into the primary group. The Nest scheduler is still in development, and developers believe that AMD desktops, AMD servers, and Intel servers can all benefit from it.
