Lab Move
- - Lab is currently up, although provisioning of the clusters is not functional (BMC errors, and firmware issues keeping the machines from PXE booting)
- - Rewiring and Firmware installation is needed and will be done in the next few days.
- - Added a cluster of x86_64 machines, powered by an Intel Xeon "MODEL HERE" CPU.
OpenHPC
- - Issues with Infiniband Support in the Automation on Fujitsu and Linaro's sides, we are collaborating to fix them quickly.
- - Full tests on Linaro's side are pending provisioning service availibility, in the meantime IB is functional.
LLVM
- - JumpThreading: requires more patches, which are in the process of being upstreamed
- - MachineModuloSched: optimization potentially not upstreamable, more discussions needed.
- - Greedy Register Allocator: '619.lbm_s' benchmark from SPEC CPU 2017 is a very good fit for benchmarking this feature.
- - Loop Vectorization: HPC-212 is resolved ! Work on HPC-213 can now resume.
