Hi All…some of you may know that Dave Neary and Aaron Williams of Ampere started The Developer Impact series of video interviews with some of Ampere’s key partners and luminaries. You’ll find the series here: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSX4wtBEnxjqZJSPDp206XmlzWp7smO9T](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSX4wtBEnxjqZJSPDp206XmlzWp7smO9T). My question for the community is…are there other compelling people you’d like to see Dave and Aaron talk to? Companies or individuals with a good Arm 64 migration story to tell? If so, please suggest in the comments. No promises on future videos as coordination can sometimes be tricky but we’d love to hear your ideas. ---

I’m actually willing to talk to Dave or Aaron about how Ampere makes things easier for me to work on LLVM, Nix, and NixOS. Not sure how long I could talk about it but I think I have a thing or two to mention. Especially after running Nix Vegas. ---

That sounds interesting. Could you send me an email with some bullet points on what you would like to cover? ---

Sure thing, I was going to ask how many but I got about 8 things listed. ---

Ed Vielmetti, maybe? ---

Thanks, Bruno. Interesting you should mention Ed Vielmetti. Back in late 2023, Ed was part of a panel on the Developer Impact series discussing with Dave and Aaron an update to a CNCF project to have Actuated and OpenFaaS create Arm64 runners. Here’s the link: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsdUT\_VYAy0&list=PLSX4wtBEnxjqZJSPDp206XmlzWp7smO9T&index=27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsdUT_VYAy0&list=PLSX4wtBEnxjqZJSPDp206XmlzWp7smO9T&index=27). ---

You mean those less than minute vertical videos? Launching an app to open YT video can take more time sometimes… ---

We do have shorts there but they are all snippets from our longer form videos, which range from 15-30 minutes, or so, like this recent posting with [Craig Kerstiens, Chief Product Officer of Crunchy Data](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wJzb6EzhGw&list=PLSX4wtBEnxjqZJSPDp206XmlzWp7smO9T&index=4). ---

I think 3 or 4 things is all that you can cover well in 15 minutes. ---

Ed helped me so much yeeeeeeeeears ago with the WorksOnArm initiative, when I was trying to port software to the arm ecosystem. ---

```auto Companies or individuals with a good Arm 64 migration story to tell ``` I don’t known a good ARM64 migration story, but I know that some people who are willing to try the Nvidia GH200 (expensive) are using Ampere CPU + Nvidia GPU (cheaper) for testing their software before deploying it on the real Nvidia hardware. ---

Thanks Pete! We are scheduled to talk to Lars about the crazy stuff he’s been doing to push the envelope with Erlang, BEAM, Elixir, and Nerves on an AmpereOne. Massively oversubscribing 192 cores to run 7,000 VMs (7,000 qemu processes running in parallel). They got there with lots of shared read-only kernel memory pages using KSM, giving massive amounts of “virtual” memory, when a lot of the base OS image is in memory only once - very fun! And they wrote their own bootloader! Wild. ---

I also think we should get the Uber folks on to talk about how they squeezed extra performance out of the Golang runtime.
