Yep, and the other one would be the fear of the communism of the US Americans....

[oleid]

Oh, you mean like the communist Healthcare stuff Obama tried to implement? Good thing the lord savior himself corrected that error.

Healthcare...

It is not too late, comment those patches on the mailing list ...

[oleid]

For everybody, who is also wondering why you'd need to pass a file descriptor : it is the file descriptor of the directory this file lives in. You've...

Michael do you happen to know how btrfs/zstd compression influences start-up time, especially for LibreOffice?...

[oleid]

It was measurably faster for me, too. I tried piet-gpu, a vulkan-based compute-centric 2D GPU renderer....

[oleid]

Indeed. While those benchmarks are highly repeatable and I'd expect the profile gathered would probably optimize that particular benchmark nicely, I don't...

[oleid]

The actual application is not really important. Just another processing pipeline with streaming input. Not too far off from a video encoder....

[oleid]

Processing of radar data. So basically : connect all the radar sensors, do the processing. As it would be done in production. If sensors would be missing,...

[oleid]

So how do you get that? In my experience, running the software is enough. It gets its input from the sensors, does ever it does and outputs results....

[oleid]

I had Firefox in mind. That seems to greatly benefit from pgo.
Also, 'data processing pipeline' kinded programs. Where getting profiles can be easily...

[oleid]

Sure it CAN, but usually it doesn't. At least not on its own.

Edit:

What usually helps is profile guided optimization. Especially...

[oleid]

Kind of. If the stuff which got removed was close-by, then yes. If not, then not.
Also, it is hard to tell if such an improvement is measurable....

[oleid]

Hard to give a general answer here. I think the reduction of size often comes from removing unused stuff or sharing the same code better....

[oleid]

Execution speed is usually not really improving with lto, but size reduction is often measurable.

[oleid]

What is the intended audience of this card? Is it 'desktop gamers' or rather 'compute workload' ?

[oleid]

Either that. Or Firefox/X11 was used on XWayland. We don't know....

[oleid]

there are wayland-compositor-as-library implementations, but of course they are quite opinionated....

[oleid]

Are you able to run anything OpenCL-y?...

[oleid]

That's probably since their drivers is orders of magnitude less complex.



Doesn't AMD provide a driver package for their new...
