Linux 6.13 Poised To Land Prep Patches Working Toward Proxy Execution

Phoronix - 18. Říjen 2024 - 16:26
Years in the making has been the idea of Proxy Execution for the Linux kernel as a means of implementing priority inheritance by leveraging information from a task's scheduler context and its execution context. While the Proxy Execution patches themselves aren't yet queued for merging upstream, some prep patches look like they'll make it for the upcoming Linux 6.13 merge window...

AMD ROCm Looks Like It Will Finally Be Supporting OpenCL 3.0 Soon

Phoronix - 18. Říjen 2024 - 11:38
The OpenCL 3.0 compute specification has been out in finalized form since September 2020. Since then NVIDIA's official Windows/Linux drivers have been exposing OpenCL 3.0 going back to 2021, the Intel Compute Runtime stack has also been exposing OpenCL 3.0 support for years, and even with Mesa's Rusticl open-source OpenCL implementation it's beginning to see Gallium3D drivers with conformant OpenCL 3.0. Yet if installing the AMD ROCm compute stack right now, you'll see OpenCL 2.1. But it looks like OpenCL 3.0 will soon be here for ROCm...

Exploring The Zen 5 SMT Performance With The AMD EPYC 9755 "Turin" CPU

Phoronix - 17. Říjen 2024 - 18:38
Continuing on with the testing around the AMD EPYC 9005 series "Turin" processors, today is a look at the Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) performance impact for Turin while using the AMD EPYC 9755 as the highest-end "Turin Classic" processor with 128 cores / 256 threads. Similar SMT on/off tests for "Turin Dense" with the EPYC 9965 192-core / 384-thread will also be coming in a future benchmarking comparison on Phoronix. These tests are mainly intended for reference purposes for those curious about the SMT benefits at such high core counts and what workloads may or may not still benefit from SMT especially when having so many threads while using 12-channel DDR5-6000 memory.
