With the recently released Ubuntu 24.04 LTS I've shown various benchmarks how it can deliver nice performance gains over both Ubuntu 23.10 and the existing Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on different platforms. Those benchmarks have tended to focus on the latest-generation processors/platforms given that's where the excitement is these days. But for those on older platforms like AMD 3rd Gen EPYC "Milan" servers, here are some benchmarks looking at the performance impact of an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS upgrade...
Merged back in 2021 with Linux 5.13 was an NZXT Kraken hardware monitoring "HWMON" driver to support sensor monitoring of these all-in-one liquid cooling products from NZXT. Over time more NZXT Kraken AIO coolers have been supported by the Linux kernel and with the upcoming Linux 6.10 kernel the latest NZXT Kraken CPU coolers will be supported...
In addition to recently working out AES-XTS implementations for AVX2, AVX-512, and other versions for speeding up disk/file encryption, Google's Eric Biggers has additionally been working on some nice performance improvements for the Linux kernel's DM-Verity code...
For those that were hoping Steam on Linux numbers would crack the 2% marketshare for April, unfortunately, that didn't happen...
Red Hat and Intel are collaborating on a joint solution that more seamlessly integrates Intel® IPU with Red Hat OpenShift, propelling cloud and edge computing into a new era of performance and scalability.The solution brings together Intel’s latest leading programmable network device, the Intel® Infrastructure Processing Unit (Intel® IPU) E2000 Series with Red Hat OpenShift. This solution, shown in the following diagram, is designed for performance at scale under real world workloads and opens up a wide array of use cases through the ability to flexibly service chain network functions at
Some that crave the absolute best possible performance sometimes build their software with the "-Ofast" optimization level that is a step above "-O3" but comes with the risk of potentially unsafe math. LLVM developers are now weighing whether to deprecate -Ofast to either remove it or have it just be an alias for the -O3 optimizations...
The newest SDL3 development release is out today with PipeWire preferred over PulseAudio and other changes...
