A golden BIOS chip labeled "BIOS" sits atop a circuit board, with a 64MB capacity icon nearby.

Why BIOS ROM Capacity Matters for Modern Motherboards

When choosing a motherboard, specifications such as power delivery, PCIe support, memory speed, and connectivity usually receive the most attention. But another specification is becoming increasingly important for modern platforms: BIOS ROM capacity. The ROM, or flash memory chip, on a motherboard stores its UEFI firmware. This firmware initializes the processor, memory, storage, graphics, and other hardware before the operating system starts. It also contains the BIOS interface and many of the configuration and compatibility components required to support different processors and system...

Two professionals examine performance graphs on a monitor in a data center with NVIDIA servers.

Benchmarking LLM Performance at Scale with NVIDIA AIPerf

You're deploying a model on a system. It starts up, prompts are getting responses. Now the hard question: Is this fast? Your instincts might lead you to send curl commands, hand-roll an asyncio script, or write yet another one-off load generator. All these approaches share the same problems: single-process performance limits, Python's GIL capping concurrency, or numbers measured against a reference you built yourself. Either way, you end up with results you can't fully trust, attached to tooling you'll have to rewrite the moment requirements change. What you need is a load client that can...

OpenClaw Brings Native App Installation to macOS, Simplifies Local AI Setup on Windows

OpenClaw has inspired hundreds of thousands of developers to run agents on their own hardware. But getting started hasn't always been straightforward—even technically experienced users spend more than 30 minutes wrestling with setup before achieving a working agent. In June, OpenClaw launched a Windows App installer to simplify onboarding for users avoiding the terminal. Today, the company is bringing that native app experience to macOS, and making Windows setup even simpler for machines with NVIDIA RTX GPUs. .abn-galeria .uk-slidenav, .abn-galeria .uk-slidenav:hover, ...
