Ե Already for several years, large corporations have been involved in the development of the Linux kernel and open source as a whole. on how AMD and Intel developers have improved open source software over the past 10 years, analyzing the information on the number of changes (Git commits) made by representatives of the companies.
Researchers counted the number of unique email addresses of developers from each corporate domain. It turned out that Intel experienced steady growth in this area until the end of 2016. Up to that point, both the number of addresses and the number of Git commits made in their name were increasing. However, in later years, Intel employees' activity slightly declined.
On the other hand, the number of specialists from AMD making changes to the Linux kernel has steadily increased, although it is still significantly lower than the number of players from the 'blue team'. However, it is thanks to them that progress in graphics has manifested. In particular, this has allowed the development of the Radeon Software Linux driver.
In 2017, 225 companies participated in kernel development, including Red Hat, IBM, Samsung, and others. նայեք այսպես:
Overall, according to data , as of 2018, the largest corporate 'contributors' to open source on the largest resource GitHub, which was purchased by Microsoft, were the following companies:
When it comes to working with CPUs, AMD primarily relies on its partners in SUSE and other companies. It is to be hoped that this will increase the number of fixes in the kernel, as the main efforts of the 'red team' have been focused on graphics in the last 3 years. Perhaps this will change in 2020.
