Intel's Glibc Non-Temporal Stores Memset Optimization Extended To AMD CPUs
Merged last month to the GNU C Library (glibc) Git code was a new tunable for non-temporal stores for memset
Intel toolchain engineer Noah Goldstein last month introduced this "glibc.cpu.x86_memset_non_temporal_threshold" tunable for setting the threshold for non-temporal store in memset. The data for those interested can be found via this Google Docs spreadsheet for the various AMD Zen CPUs as well as the Intel numbers. This commit now in Glibc allows for this tunable to work on AMD platforms.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
