The accuracy of weather and climate predictions is becoming increasingly important. Having the ability to predict extreme events in advance helps us prepare and thus minimize impact. Increasing capability of HPC and weather and climate modeling is key…

In my previous blog on, Running HPC Applications on Arm, I talked about lots of the work that has been going on about getting a wide range of HPC applications running on today’s Arm systems. Today, I want to focus more on some of the key optimizations…

Welcome back!

A lot has happened since the last GNU Tool chain performance update. The GCC and glibc communities have been hard at work since, improving the compiler and the library with new usability, language, debugging, security and a myriad of other features…

What is the GNU toolchain?

In this blog we will focus on two components of the GNU toolchain, the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and the GNU C library (glibc). A full toolchain contains several vital components like assemblers, linkers and debuggers, but in…
