We're so excited to announce that Dries Vanspauwen, @lesly & Jo Van Bulck received the uASC best paper award for the paper "WeMu: Effective and Scalable Emulation of Microarchitectural Weird Machines"! Congratulations! 🎉
Check it out here: https://uasc.cc/proceedings26/uasc26-vanspauwen.pdf
"AMD publishes first Zen 6 document detailing ground-up redesign on 2nm process node — brand-new 8-wide CPU core with strong vector capabilities"
Sounds like they're leaning heavily into 'datacenter' with this one.
Also TIL that CPUs have special hint instructions (called PAUSE on x86) to make spin loops more efficient, which tell the CPU to let other hyperthreads progress instead, and again also improves CPU cache behavior.
Details on PAUSE: https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/pause
Example from Go runtime: https://go.dev/src/runtime/asm_amd64.s#L803-809
You have less than two weeks left to submit your paper for the final submission cycle at uASC 2026!

I've been going around to all my little x64 systems running
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help
to see what Intel #microarchitecture they support. So far, everything is either #x86_64_v2 or #x86_64_v3
Not too much of a surprise, given the age of the equipment. I'm very curious as to whether #CachyOS or something else will get a little more performance out of them. Based on reviews I've seen ClearLinux really did run faster, but it's too late to mess with it.
A Linux user is never satisfied.

What is impressive here is the availability of this feature in #JuliaLang #JuliaPackaging - when compared with competing programming environments:
* #dotnet #NuGet only has crude runtimes like #x64, and #arm64.
* #python #PyPI wheels seems equally constrained with #manylinux supporting plain, e.g., #x86_64, and #aarch64.
Not to mention #BinaryBuilder in general with support for e.g. #musl, #armv7l, #bsd and #riscv64
Whatever the number of applications of #microarchitecture specific binaries.
