Why TensorFlow Lite Has Been Running Slower On Recent Linux Kernels
The Linux 5.0 to 5.9 kernel benchmarking posted this week showed TensorFlow Lite running slower since the Linux 5.5 kernel... On top of looking at the new Linux 5.9 regressions , I also spent some time bisecting and figuring out what happened for TensorFlow Lite last year that has at least for the system under test caused it to run slower for all the kernel releases this year as shown in the aforelinked article.
So with the speedy AMD EPYC box and knowing the regression happened between Linux
GNOME's New Power-Profiles-Daemon Sees "v0.1" Release
A few days ago I reported on GNOME Power-Profiles-Daemon for better system/laptop power controls by allowing power-saving presets of "balanced", "power-saver", and "performance" from the GNOME Control Center
WSL2 Adding Support For Mounting Physical Disks, EXT4 Access And More From Windows
The newest Windows Insiders Preview Build adds support for the wsl --mount option for attaching and mounting physical disks attached to the system. This is intended for accessing data on Linux file-systems that are not natively supported by Windows, like EXT4 and many others.
Particularly for those using multi-boot setups or performing Linux backups to EXT4 or other non-
Mesa 20.3 Picks Up New Capabilities To Help With Display Presentation Jitter, Stuttering
Adam Jackson of Red Hat has been working on supporting GLX_EXT_swap_control/GLX_EXT_swap_control_tear for Mesa's GLX implementation and on the Vulkan side support for VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_RELAXED_KHR.
GLX_EXT_swap_control_tear allows a negative value for glXSwapIntervalEXT to allow
Kernel Bisecting Has Never Been Faster Than With AMD EPYC + AMD Threadripper
Traditionally bisecting every performance regression I come across at Phoronix whether it be in compilers, the Linux kernel, or other code-bases has been prohibitively time consuming (and in turn cooling/power expensive) especially when operating on thin margins as is from the depressed state of the web ad industry, etc, but the incredible speed of
X-Plane 11.50 Officially Released With Its Vulkan Renderer
After being in public beta for months, X-Plane 11.50 is now official as the latest stable version of this high quality flight simulator.
Making use of Vulkan over its aging OpenGL renderer can mean much better performance. See our X-
Raspberry Pi 4 VC4 Support Coming With Linux 5.10
While the Raspberry Pi 4 has been available for over one year already, the BCM2711 display pipeline code has been a work-in-progress and going through multiple rounds of patch review for its 80 patches on top of the existing Broadcom VC4 open-source kernel driver code.

Intel Working On VA-API AV1 Acceleration For FFmpeg
FFmpeg as one of the most notable multimedia libraries is now seeing VA-API AV1 support plumbed as a result of Intel engineers for supporting the AV1 acceleration once Tigerlake notebooks hit the market.
Sent out on Wednesday is the AV1 hardware acceleration decoder and
GRVK 0.2 Continues Advancing This AMD Mantle To Vulkan Translation Layer
It was just last month that brought the inaugural GRVK release for this open-source project when it got a Mantle triangle rendered and begins
