No git, o Glibc lança outra função otimizada para o FMA - 24% de melhoria média

 Há alguns dias, o especialista em compiladores da Intel, HJ Lu, conseguiu uma função log2 otimizada para FMA para a biblioteca GNU C que pode gerar uma melhoria de desempenho de até 69% nos processadores Intel Skylake testados. Fundida hoje para Glibc Git foi outra função otimizada para FMA.

A Biblioteca GNU C 2.38 foi lançada com mais recursos do C2X, suporte ao GNU Hurd x86_64

É ótimo saber que a GNU C Library (glibc) lançou sua última atualização, a versão do GNU Binutils 2.38. Essa biblioteca é um componente essencial para muitos programas no sistema GNU/Linux, garantindo a interoperabilidade e fornecendo funcionalidades fundamentais para o sistema.

O Fedora 38 foi liberado para o envio com a sua cadeia de ferramentas de compilador Bleeding Edge

 

Na semana passada, o Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) assinou o envio do Fedora 38 com sua planejada cadeia de ferramentas de compilador de ponta, incluindo principalmente o próximo compilador GCC 13 .

O Fedora 38 planeja o GCC 13, o Binutils 2.39 e o Glibc 2.37 Toolchain

 

O Fedora tem a tradição de sempre enviar com os mais recentes componentes da cadeia de ferramentas do compilador de código aberto e, para isso, sempre ter a mais recente GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). Às vezes, essa busca atualizada de cadeia de ferramentas significava enviar um candidato a lançamento / compilação quase final do GCC quando se trata do lançamento do segundo trimestre do ano, que geralmente chega na mesma época do lançamento anual do recurso GCC. O Fedora 38 será outro lançamento para buscar novamente os mais recentes componentes da cadeia de ferramentas do compilador GNU.
