== Summary == cortex-strings 1.0 released * This will be used as a basis for getting the string routines into the common C libraries. * GLIBC is underway with one routine * Started investigating newlib
Browser benchmarks: * Investigating the basics of building Firefox and using it as a browsing and JavaScript benchmark
Sync primitives: * Blocked on upstream GCC review. All other components including QEMU and GLIBC are upstream.
Binary toolchains: * Wrote up a specification, began discussion. * Looking into tools for doing the build and test. crosstool-ng looks decent.
QEMU and A15: * Working on usermode support for the new A15 instructions. Will allow testing the A15 version of GCC when it comes out of ARM. * Discussed A15 system mode, split out into blueprints and cards
GCC performance: * Keeping on. * Default NEON vector size is now quad word. Should show a nice speed up.
Best regards, Mounir
