=> ↺ Introducing bpftune for lightweight, always-on auto-tuning of system behaviour
The Linux kernel contains more than 1,500 tunables – and setting these parameters correctly can significantly improve system performance and utilization! For years, we’ve tried to provide the right suggestions for these tunables, via software release notes and improved default values, but many system loads will benefit from dynamic tuning of these values.
Introducing bpftune, an automatic configurator that monitors your workloads and sets the correct kernel parameter values! bpftune is an open source project available via dnf install in the Oracle Linux ol_developer repos, and at https://github.com/oracle-samples/bpftune.
bpftune aims to provide lightweight, always-on auto-tuning of system behaviour. The key benefits it provides are:
Continuously monitoring and adjusting system behavior by using BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) observability features.
Tuning system behavior at a fine-grained level, made possible since we can observe more details of system state using BPF.
It is currently focused on some of the most common issues with tunables we have run into at Oracle, but with a pluggable infrastructure that is open to contributions. We hope you find it useful too!
=> ↺ Blender 3.6 LTS Release Notes
Check out out the final release notes on blender.org.
This release includes long-term support, see the LTS page for a list of bugfixes included in the latest version.
UPDATE
=> ↺ Blender v3.6 is out now as a new long-term support release
Showing many companies how open source can be seriously successful, Blender version 3.6 is out now and it's a long-term support release so it would be good to upgrade and stick with it for a while.
