Intel's Clear Linux Distribution Offers Fast Out-Of-The-Box Performance (phoronix.com)

Posted by timothy on from the new-to-me dept.

An anonymous reader writes: In a 10-way Linux distribution battle including OpenSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and others, one of the fastest out-of-the-box performers was a surprising contender: Intel's Clear Linux Project that's still in its infancy. Clear Linux ships in an optimized form for delivering best performance on x86 hardware with enabling many compiler optimizations by default, highly-tuned software bundles, function multi-versioning for the most performant code functions based upon CPU, AutoFDO for automated feedback-direct optimizations and other performance-driven features. Clear Linux is a rolling-release-inspired distribution that issues new versions a few times a day and is up to version 5700.

    Big deal. Firefox will catch up with that shortly.

    To me, an extra 0.1% performance increase, even if I am only imagining it to be faster, is certainly worth one day a week recompiling all of the latest packages from source code.

    If 1 part in 1000 runtime improvement is worth 1/7 of one machine's time, then you must be running a cluster of at least 142 identical servers.

    It steals your credit card to order you a $3000 dell then swats your family as a warning.
