Linus Torvalds Begins The Linux 6.11 Merge Window By Merging Some Of His Own Code


Linus Torvalds began the Linux 6.11 merge window yesterday by merging some of his own feature code for this next kernel version.

These improvements stem from his profiling on his Ampere Altra Max 128-core ARM workstation and discovering some less than ideal areas of the ARM64 kernel code. So it looks like Ampere Computing's decision to send Linus Torvalds an Ampere Altra Max system is indeed paying off for upstream Linux kernel optimizations for ARM64.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. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
