How Clear Linux Optimizes Python For Greater Performance
![CLEAR LINUX](/assets/categories/clearlinux.webp)
Last April, Victor Rodriguez Bahena of the Intel Open-Source Technology Center and longtime Clear Linux developer began shedding more light on their "magic" performance work for the distribution's out-of-the-box performance. Finally this week the second post in that series is out as he details the optimizations made to their Python implementation.
For boosting the Python performance, they use patches for Intel AVX (including an AVX-512 version for capable CPUs) to the distutils and math libraries, optimized compiler flags for CPython, support for dynamic loading of extension modules based on the CPU platform in use, and also profile guided optimizations.
Those wanting to learn more can do read all about it on the ClearLinux.org blog.
