AMD GPU Managed Memory Support Merged For The GCC 16 Compiler
When it comes to AMD Radeon/Instinct GPU compiler support much of the emphasis is on the LLVM/Clang compiler stack with their official AMDGPU LLVM shader compiler back-end as well as having the AOMP downstream compiler fork and the like. But the GNU Compiler Collection “GCC” does continue allow targeting AMD GPU targeting with its “AMDGCN” back-end and using the likes of the OpenMP API. It’s not too often seeing new AMD GPU activity there for GCC but mer … ⌘ Read more
Clang 21 Delivering Nice Performance Gains On AMD EPYC Zen 4 With HBM3
One of the areas I’ve been meaning to run more benchmarks on this season has been for the recently released Clang 21 compiler. Back in September when LLVM Clang 21 was debuting I ran some initial benchmarks and found it to deliver some nice performance gains on AMD EPYC Zen 5 but then have been busy with other benchmarks/articles for expanding that testing. Recently with having some spare cycles and gratis access still to the Microsoft A … ⌘ Read more
GCC 16 Compiler Now Ready For AVX10.2 & APX With Intel Nova Lake
Intel’s ISA documentation was updated last week to confirm Nova Lake processors will support AVX10.2 and APX extensions after they were not officially acknowledged in prior versions of the spec and the initial open-source compiler enablement with -march=novalake also left them without those prominent ISA capabilities. Following that documentation update, a few days ago LLVM Clang updated their Nova Lake compiler support for the new ISA capabilit … ⌘ Read more
Updated LLVM/Clang Compiler Enables AVX 10.2 & APX For Intel Nova Lake
Last month when the LLVM/Clang 22 compiler merged support for Intel Nova Lake with the “-march=novalake” target there was no mentions of AVX10 or Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) support. But last week Intel published a new programming reference manual where they confirmed AVX 10.2 and APX for Nova Lake. Now that it’s official, Intel compiler engineers are updating the LLVM/Clang (and GCC) compiler support to reflect these ISA addition … ⌘ Read more
Intel Now Confirms Nova Lake Will Support AVX10.2 & APX Extensions
Recently when Intel contributed Nova Lake support for LLVM/Clang and the GCC compiler support there was not any AVX10 or APX support contrary to rumors and expectations. Intel has now published a new programming reference manual where they now confirm Nova Lake will in fact support AVX10.2 and APX… ⌘ Read more
The Linux Kernel Looks To “Bite The Bullet” In Enabling Microsoft C Extensions
Two patches queued into the Linux kernel’s build system development tree, kbuild-next, would enable the -fms-extensions compiler argument everywhere for allowing GCC and LLVM/Clang to use the Microsoft C Extensions when compiling the Linux kernel. Being in kbuild-next these patches will likely be submitted for the Linux 6.19 kernel merge window next month but remains to be seen if there will be any last minute objections to this c … ⌘ Read more
