- Speck2k benchmarking in progress for second patch and will post 
once finished.


 * spec2k comparison between ARM and x86
- More benchmarks analysed.

[Activity] Sept 9-15

[Rob Savoye]

== Progress ==
   * Set up a GCC git mirror on git.linaro.org. now at

ssh://lo...@git.linaro.org/srv/git.linaro.org/git/toolchain/gcc.git. The
 two Linaro branches most people are interested in are now
 'linaro-4.7-branch' (updated every 30 minutes from launchpad),
 and 'linaro-4.8-branch' updated every 10 minutes from subversion.
   * Tweaked Cbuildv2 & Jenkins to work with GIT repositories and
 branches as well as source tarballs.
   * Jenkins now "bootstraps" a cross compiler by building the native
 GCC, and then using that to compile the cross GCC.
   * Got aarch64-none-elf building with newlib via Cbuildv2.
   * Source and binary tarball release support in Cbuildv2 now
 works. I've had to change the naming convention to handle daily
 automated builds, and added the commit ID of HEAD for git based
 builds.
   * Almost got Canadian crosses building via Cbuildv2.
   * Continued work on Jenkins/Cbuildv2 integration.
   * Cbuildv2 now works on Fedora as well as Ubuntu.
   * Survived major 100+ year flood. Got to watch a dam overflow, kindof
 cool, all the roads in and out of this area have been closed for days,
 most of the bridges are gone. Been busy all weekend evacuating
 people, car accidents, normal disaster area stuff. I worked Katrina
 relief, never thought I'd see a flood in the mountains.

== Plan ==
   * Continuing with Jenkins/Cbuildv2/Git integration.
   * Get testing results from Jenkins builds imported via Junit conversion.
   * Compare automated tarballs with the current release tarballs.
   * Get Jenkins to upload binary & source tarballs to
 snapshots.linaro.org.
   * Add support for using specific commit IDs with Git and Cbuildv2.
   * Finish getting Canadian Cross builds working in Cbuildv2.
   * Odroids should arrive (when the roads open...) Monday, install
Ubuntu and do some tests to see if it's a good platform.

== Issues ==
   * Flooding...

[ACTIVITY] Week 37

[Zhenqiang Chen]

== Issues ==

* None

== Progress ==

* Prepare Linaro toolchain binary 2013.09 release
  - Create linaro-prebuilt-sysroot-2013.09.
  - Update local patches and all Linaro samples to use
eglibc-linaro-2.18-2013.09.

* Update Conditional compare (CCMP) according to community comments.
Current method is:
  - In fold-const, if HAVE_conditional_compare, set
LOGICAL_OP_NON_SHORT_CIRCUIT to true.
  - Identify CCMP during expanding. A CCMP candidate is a BIT_AND_EXPR
or BIT_IOR_EXPR, whose operators are compares.
  - Add a new op in optab to expand the CCMP to RTL, e.g.
and_scc_scc/ior_scc_scc in ARM.
  - Testing is ongoing.

== Plan ==

* Send out the updated conditional compare patches for review.

== Panned leaves ==

* Sept. 19-21: Mid-Autumn Festival
* Oct. 1-7: National Day of China holiday
