Scheduler tweaks

by Michael Hope

I've done a couple of tweaks to the scheduler. You now see pending jobs by the class of machine they'll run on. Clicking a job takes you to the detail, which includes a link to drop/cancel the job. -- Michael

Toolchain Working Group Meeting Times

by Matthew Gretton-Dann

All, As I mentioned on Monday, due to new members of the team coming on board I am going to rejig the meeting times from 18th December. My proposal is as follows (all times UK Local - UTC+0h winter, UTC+1h summer): 0. These changes will come into effect the week commencing 18th December. 1. The weekly call will happen on a Monday, at 0930 and 1600. You only need to make it to one instance of the call. For those who are physically near each other arranging it so that both calls get attended would be good and notes shared would be good. 2. The Stand-up call will happen on a Thursday, alternating between 0930 and 1600. This is 'best effort' - but please try to attend at least every other week. 3. The performance call will go weekly, and will happen on a Thursday, alternating between 0930 and 1600. If you are on the invite list to this call again please try to attend at least every other week, but if you can manage every week that would be great. If you have any comments on these please can you raise them by the end of the week as I would like to confirm what we are going to do at the call on Monday (at the normal time of 0915UTC). Thanks, Matt -- Matthew Gretton-Dann Linaro Toolchain Working Group matthew.gretton-dann(a)linaro.org

[ACTIVITY] 26-30 November

by Christophe Lyon

== Progress == * Turn off 64-bits bitops in Neon: patch proposed upstream after positive benchmarking. Re-submitted after request to add testcases and documentation for the new option. * Disable peeling: running benchmarks with peeling completely disabled to see the impact. * PGO/hot-cold partitioning: tested new patch from google, which solves some of the ICEs, but makes new ones appear. * builtin_bswap16 backport to Linaro-4.7: checking if there would be a possibility to keep the testcase which fails in one of our configurations, after rebasing my branch. * Trying to bootstrap gcc-linaro/4.7 on board * Internal support == Next == * Follow-up on 64-bits bitops in Neon * Look at benchmarks results with peeling disabled * finish builtin_bswap16 backport

[Activity] Week 48

by Zhenqiang Chen

Summary: * Verify shrink-wrap related bugs. * Validate and release Linaro toolchain binary 2012.11 release. * Collect performance data for different branch costs. Details: * Validate and release Linaro toolchain binary 2012.11. * Test aarch64 toolchain. All the basic tests PASS except gdbserver. * Collect performance data for branch cost combination. For eembcv1, some combinations have more than 2% performance improvement on PandaBoard THUMB mode. More test results will come later. * Verify shrink-wrap related bugs (http://goo.gl/6fGg5). All pass with the new patch. Native tests are ongoing. Identify the root cause why the copy, which blocks the shrink-wrap optimization for 453.povray benchmark, is not optimized. Plans: * Finalize the aarch64 toolchain binary release plan. * Collect performance data for branch cost tuning. * Enhance shrink-wrap to optimize the copy. Best regards! -Zhenqiang
