AMD Stages The Radeon Graphics Color Management Code For Linux 6.8

Posted on by

On Friday in addition to Intel submitting their new Xe kernel graphics driver to DRM-Next ahead of Linux 6.8, the red team sent in their latest AMDGPU/AMDKFD kernel driver changes ahead of this next kernel cycle. Exciting on the AMD side is landing the AMD color management properties support! But on the downside, it’s compile-time disabled for the time being…

GNOME Gets A New Terminal Choice: Prompt

Posted on by

A few months back GNOME developer Christian Hergert noted that Linux terminal emulators could be much faster following his experiments but then concluded at the time he didn’t want to develop a new terminal becase “creating your own terminal is like 20 lines of code these days.” Well, he ended up shifting stance a bit and has now announced Prompt, a new container-focused terminal emulator for the GNOME desktop…

DeMaio: Insights from the openSUSE Logo Contest

Posted on by

In response to the expressed unhappiness over the recent logo-selection
process in the openSUSE project (covered in this article), the project has announced
that there will be a new vote:

During the community meeting this week where the results were
discussed, participants expressed the view that members of the
openSUSE Project have an opportunity to participate in the
selection of our new logo, and that SUSE, which holds the trademark
to the openSUSE logo, be involved with the process for selecting a
branding decision with regard to the results. After all, this
decision impacts the collective identity.

To facilitate this, there is a plan to organize a vote between the
current logo and the proposed new design, allowing our community to
have a say in this important decision. Furthermore, members of the
project are collaborating with SUSE on the implications of the
branding initiatives and some have expressed the desire for SUSE’s
input to ensure there is an aligned vision for the future of
openSUSE.

Intel 5th Gen Xeon Performance Benchmarks With DDR5-4800 vs. DDR5-5600

Posted on by

With Intel’s just-launched 5th Gen Xeon “Emerald Rapids” processors headlined by the 64-core Xeon Platinum 8592+, one of the key upgrades with these new server processors is now supporting DDR5-5600 memory compared to DDR5-4800 with Sapphire Rapids and also the memory frequency limit with AMD’s EPYC Zen 4 processors. Here are some benchmarks of the flagship Xeon Platinum 8592+ when being tested with DDR5-4800 versus DDR5-5600 memory modules.

[$] Progress toward a GCC-based Rust compiler

Posted on by

The gccrs project is an ambitious
effort started in 2014 to implement a Rust compiler within The GNU Compiler
Collection (GCC). Even though the task is far from complete, progress has
been made since LWN’s previous coverage,
according to reports from the project. Meanwhile, another hybrid and more
mature approach to GCC Rust code generation is available in rustc_codegen_gcc.
