05:37 | AMD Building Linux Team In a recent report by Michael Larabel at Phoronix -- a site we’re happy to recommend for its Linux-specific benchmarks -- it was reported that AMD is growing its team of Linux developers. AMD currently has job listings for a Linux Kernel development manager, described on the AMD careers page as a mentor to a team of developers to enable design and implementation of “Linux operating system features supporting AMD CPUs.” The job lists responsibilities as including management of an engineering team “in the area of Linux kernel and KVM virtualization development.” Other job listings on AMD’s jobs page include Linux Engineering for client devices, defined as “a key engineer on our team [who] configures and tunes Linux distribution packages to take advantage of AMD technologies on customer platforms.” They say that this role would participate in planning next generation CPUs and APUs, too.
