Systems, Science and FreeBSD

What makes a platform suitable to both research and development? It is not simply the artifacts that are generated, but the tools that the platform brings to bear on evaluating the usefulness and quality of the research that is being undertaken. FreeBSD continues to push the boundaries of systems research through its adoption and extension of significant new technologies such as DTrace and LLVM. This talk looks at how the latest tools and techniques are being applied to systems research and how the tools enable us to find deeper insights and more clearly communicate and share our results with other researchers.

FreeBSD audio in amateur and professional setups - Goran Mekić

FreeBSD has astonishingly good support for audio that is rarely talked about
Although FreeBSD was not created with professional audio support in mind, over time it became one of the best alternatives out there. In recent years this operating system received numerous improvements which make it as good as it is today. This presentation will be about audio advancements made in those years, what was improved and what is left to do to make FreeBSD event better solution for audio studios. Presenter will demonstrate his own studio from the view of FreeBSD and talk about different ways of improving audio performance. Special care is taken on how not to need specialized hardware or PC intended just for audio.

GPU passthrough with bhyve - Corvin Köhne - EuroBSDcon 2022

This presentation focuses on the current state of GPU passthrough with a bhyve VM.

FreeBSD includes the bhyve hypervisor to create virtual machines. In order to increase the performance of a VM, bhyve supports PCI passthrough. When using PCI passthrough, a PCI device is exclusively assigned to a VM. Even the FreeBSD system has no access to the PCI device. Therefore, the VM can directly access the PCI device without any emulation. The support for PCI passthrough doesn't include GPU devices because they require some special handling.

We are actively working on a solution to add GPU passthrough support to bhyve. In 2021 many GPUs were supported in an off-tree branch. In the meanwhile many changes regarding GPU passthrough are merged into upstream bhyve. For that reason, it's supported on some hardware and some guests now.
