The Linux kernel can in turn invalidate TLB entries on remote CPUs without needing to send IPIs and without having to wait for remote CPUs to handle those interrupts. Synthetic benchmarks shown in that patch series were very promising and thus I carried out some benchmarking over the holidays of this AMD INVLPGB support for the Linux kernel.</description> <pubDate>Sun, 29 Dec 2024 16:15:20 -0500</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Larabel</dc:creator> </item> <item> <title>KDE Amarok 3.2 Music Player Released With Initial Qt6/KF6 Support</title> <link>https://www.phoronix.com/news/KDE-Amarok-3.2-Released</link> <guid>https://www.phoronix.com/news/KDE-Amarok-3.2-Released</guid> <description>Back in April was the release of the Amarok 3.0 music player for KDE after a six year hiatus and their first version ported to using the Qt5 toolkit and KDE Frameworks 5.

CentOS Stream 10 as the upstream to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 is largely similar to what's found in the RHEL 10.0 beta but one of the key differences is being powered by Linux 6.12 LTS rather than Linux 6.11 as currently used by the AlmaLinux/RHEL 10 beta. Here is how the performance of CentOS Stream 10 is looking in comparison on the same hardware.</description> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:43:00 -0500</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Larabel</dc:creator> </item> <item> <title>AMD Continued Ramping Up Their Linux & Open-Source Investments In 2024</title> <link>https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-2024-Linux-Highlights</link> <guid>https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-2024-Linux-Highlights</guid> <description>AMD's new products this year have not only been supported well on the server side with their new EPYC 9005 "Turin" processors but also on the consumer side with the Ryzen AI 300 series laptop and Ryzen 9000 series desktop Zen 5 processors.

The lazy preemption mode is similar to full preemption but is less eager to preempt normal (SCHED_NORMAL) tasks. The goal is on reducing lock holder preemption and obtaining some of the performance gains found under the voluntary preemption mode. For Linux 6.13 the lazy preemption mode was exposed for x86/x86_64, RISC-V, and later added for LoongArch. Likely with the upcoming Linux 6.14, lazy preempt should work on POWER platforms...</description> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Dec 2024 06:13:36 -0500</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Larabel</dc:creator> </item> <item> <title>GCC ASCII Art Visualizations, Timely Znver5 & Other Compiler Highlights Of 2024</title> <link>https://www.phoronix.com/news/Open-Source-Compilers-2024</link> <guid>https://www.phoronix.com/news/Open-Source-Compilers-2024</guid> <description>Both GCC and LLVM/Clang made great strides in 2024 in rounding up their latest C and C++ support, enabling new hardware targets, and a variety of other features.
