[ACTIVITY] 7-11 October 2013
== Issue == * AArch64 frame grows downward: no feedback yet. == Progress == * Disable-peeling: Vectorizer cost model has been changed upstream, quick look at benchmark results show little difference between before and after the change. Need to analyze further, since I expected the regressions previously identified with my patch to appear here too. * AArch64 bootstrap failure: succesfully bootstrapped in the model. * GCC trunk validation: - improved configurability (default cpu, fpu, mode, testsuite flags are selectable) - requested feedback to build the list of desirable combinations to validate * Backports/release 2013.10 - a few more backports completed - re-trying to backport the ILP32 and refactoring series proves again to be tricky, but helped identify backports which had escaped from the list. - cbuild has disk full again * GCC Neon intrinsics testsuite: -- posted a proposition to add my executable tests to the existing framework. No feedback yet. == Next == * Make 2013.10 releases, both with the historical process and using cbuildv2, in parallel * Disable-peeling/new vectorizer cost model: analyze bench results ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
