As the Linux community continues to redefine the boundaries of what is possible in a server-based Linux distribution running on new silicon, both power and performance play an increasingly important role in the industry. In the Clear Linux Project for Intel Architecture, we decided to use/improve the latest GCC/GLIBC compiler technology to boost the performance of a Linux-based system. The benefits apply to projects such as machine learning frameworks and statistical programing languages to the recent improvement of web back backend technology based on GCC. After a year of demonstrably improved results on Clear Linux, is a good time to share with the community and other Linux distributions how to implement these technologies as Clear Linux has done in order to realize similar performance improvements and therefore unleash the power of new cloud and datacenter servers architectures in Linux systems.
