Intel Adds OpenMP Multi-Threading To Its Speedy x86-simd-sort Library

Phoronix - Tue, 05/20/2025 - 04:05
Intel's x86-simd-sort open-source project is a C++ template library for high performance sorting routines that can leverage AVX2 and AVX-512 for crazy fast sorting. The x86-simd-sort code in turn is used by Numpy, more recently adopted by PyTorch too, and has shown off the great performance potential of AVX-512 for very fast sorting algorithms. Out today is x86-simd-sort 7.0 and it's even faster due to now supporting OpenMP parallelization...

Samsung Back To Working On Upstreaming Tesla FSD SoC Support In The Linux Kernel

Phoronix - Tue, 05/20/2025 - 03:09
In early 2022 Samsung engineers began working on upstreaming support for the Tesla Full Self-Driving "FSD" SoC to the mainline Linux kernel. Those early patches were mainlined in Linux 5.18 and later in 2022 turned to working on the PCIe support for the Tesla FSD SoC with the mainline kernel, but then work seemingly ceased on this upstreaming effort. More than two years later, the work was restarted today with Samsung posting the latest patches for enabling PCI Express support for the Tesla FSD SoC in the Linux kernel...
