==GCC==
===Progress===
* Continue to look at the test failure with mvectorize-with-neon-quad. Should be able to commit the backend workaround in on Monday . * Having some problems getting my panda board working reliably. I'm not sure if its the temperature or what but when it gets hot in the office as it was on Tuesday keeping it working reliably is hard. The board locks up and then crashes quite often. * Looked at VFP moves again for some more time. * Committed tbh range change. * Committed fixes for PR50022
=== Plans ===
* Finish off VFP moves patch. * Look at BRANCH_COST results. * Breakdown the T2 performance blueprints into smaller blueprints. * Backport tbh range changes to Linaro 4.6 * Test the intrinsics patch once with some more intrinsics tests and then merge it in to Linaro gcc 4.6
Meetings:
* 1-1s * TCWG calls
Absences.
* 29th Aug - Sept. 2 - Holiday booked and approved. * 31st Oct - 4th Nov - Linaro Summit Orlando - Travel booked - hotel to be booked.

I wonder if you want to test the thermal management code coming from the PMWG; Amit?

The current generation of Pandas (4430-based) can't be salvaged[1]. They have a bad thermal sensor (wrong location, spurious values, etc.)
Our work is on the 4460-based SoC and Pandaboards for those won't be available until November. The testing in down on boards that only TI has access to ATM (Blaze)
/Amit [1] Through software, that is. You could solder a new sensor to the i2c, etc. or simply put on fan on top.

If I am using the board for benchmarking I really need it to be running flat out all the time and not require any of the fancy PM features . Won't the thermal management code cause things to be throttled back ?

It will.

Hmm. Coincidentally, today I filed LP: #831683. I'm looking at upgrading the toolchain build farm from a dev.omapzoom 2.6.35 kernel to linux-linaro 3.0-2011.08. CoreMark runs significantly slower on the 3.0 kernel...
