For those wishing to kick off the new week with some interesting technical videos and are into compiler tech, the video recordings from the 2024 LLVM Developers' Meeting are now online.

The 2024 meeting of LLVM developers took place in Santa Clara, California at the end of October. There were a range of talks around LLVM and Rust, machine learning, LLVM offloading to accelerators/devices, useful fast math, C++ toolchains for GPUs, the state of Clang for C/C+

Rui Ueyama announced the release today of Mold 2.35 as the latest iteration of this high speed linker alternative to the linkers available from the GCC and LLVM toolchain projects.

On the feature side, Mold 2.35 adds support for big endian ARM64 to complement the existing and much more common little endian mode. Big endian ARM64 isn't as nearly popular as little endian but Mold 2.35 now supports this alternative ABI variant.

Mold 2.35 also adds support for

It's been a while since there have been any new advancements or performance optimizations to talk about for Multi-Gen LRU ( MGLRU ) that was upstreamed to the Linux kernel two years ago as a very exciting kernel innovation . But that's changing now with some fresh performance optimizations being worked on for the MGLRU code.

MGLRU is an alternative LRU (Least Recently Used) implementation to optimize page reclamation and improve performance when experiencing system memory pressure. MGLRU has shown some great performance results already when experiencing memory pressure and
