A simple adjustment to a single line in the Linux kernel code has resulted in a fivefold reduction in wakeup latency for modern Intel Xeon processors. This performance improvement was highlighted in a recent Phoronix report. The change targets efficiency in CPU idle states.

Der multidisziplinäre Künstler Vicente Ruiz, eine Schlüsselfigur der chilenischen Gegenkultur während der Diktatur und des demokratischen Übergangs, starb in Santiago im Alter von 67 Jahren. Sein Erbe umfasst provokative Performances, die Tabuthemen wie Diskriminierung und soziale Ausgrenzung behandeln. Sein Werk von 1992 „Por la Cruz y la Bandera“ löste große Kontroversen aus.

Advanced Micro Devices is advancing a push-based load balancing mechanism for the Linux kernel to optimize performance on its Epyc server processors. This approach shifts from traditional pull-based scheduling to allow overloaded cores to proactively distribute tasks to idle ones. The proposal aims to enhance efficiency in high-core-count systems used in data centers and cloud environments.

Developers have introduced new patches for Linux aimed at improving single-threaded performance on systems with many-core CPUs. These updates target optimizations for modern multi-core processors. The changes are detailed in a Phoronix report.
