🚀Fedora is exploring the possibility of providing optimized binaries for the amd64 architecture.
⚡️The proposed optimization aims to generate faster code and improve energy efficiency.
💾Using optimized code may result in performance improvements and energy savings.
📈Benchmarks have shown small performance differences, usually ranging from -5% to +10%.
🔬Individual package maintainers are encouraged to benchmark their packages and provide optimized versions if significant gains are achieved.
What is the purpose of providing optimized binaries?
—Optimized binaries aim to generate faster code and improve energy efficiency on newer processors.
Will the optimization impact users who do not have the required hardware?
—No, the change will be automatic and transparent to users. Only those with the appropriate hardware will benefit from the optimizations.
What performance improvements can be expected?
—Benchmark results have shown small performance differences, usually ranging from -5% to +10%. Some applications may experience significant gains.
Is the change limited to the amd64 architecture?
—Currently, the proposal focuses on the amd64 architecture, but there may be future considerations for other architectures.
Who is responsible for implementing the optimizations?
—Individual package maintainers are encouraged to benchmark their packages and provide optimized versions if significant gains are achieved.
