Aptivi<p><strong>Linux 6.15 Memory Management&nbsp;improvements</strong></p><p>The upcoming version of Linux will incorporate many memory management improvements that will make your PC better than before. <a href="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250330165732.f4c1493615375623f67e38eb@linux-foundation.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">This pull request</a>, which is already migrated to the main Linux 6.15 Git, incorporates many memory management changes that will achieve that goal of making your PC manage memory better than before. As this pull request mentions a possible Linux 6.15 RC1 release by just a title, we expect that this release candidate will be released on April 6th.</p><p>A new command-line options, <code>hugetlb_alloc_threads</code>, has been added to the Linux kernel that allows you to choose how many threads are in use, with the default being a reasonable 25% to make your computer boot up faster. This is when allocating a large number of huge pages, which will see around 2.75x to 4.3x speedup on Skylake and Cascade Lake systems.</p><p>Alongside with this change, there is another interesting patch series that revolved around making the huge pages allocator more reliable than before. It reduces fragmentation to allow larger requests to be met more quickly, while making the operation cheaper.</p><p>In the pull request linked above, you can find a list of patch series that are merged to the Linux 6.15 source code.</p><p><span></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/computer/" target="_blank">#Computer</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/computers/" target="_blank">#Computers</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/improvements/" target="_blank">#improvements</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux/" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux-6-15/" target="_blank">#Linux615</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/memory/" target="_blank">#Memory</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/memory-management/" target="_blank">#MemoryManagement</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/news/" target="_blank">#news</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/performance/" target="_blank">#performance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/ram/" target="_blank">#Ram</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/tech/" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/update/" target="_blank">#update</a></p>

Aptivi<p>This version of Ubuntu started the development with one of the most significant changes ever done. This time, it’s about compiler optimization level used on Ubuntu packages by default. When this version of Ubuntu had started its development, the <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2024-October/043164.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">mailing list entry</a> said the following:</p><pre><code>* perl 5.40 and haskell / ghc 9.6.6 already migrated to the releasepocket, to avoid entanglement with other transitions.* dpkg-buildflags defaults to -O3 instead of -O2. This might require changes in package builds. Please be aware that we already build with -O3 on ppc64el, so look for possible packaging adjustments.</code></pre><p>While the Perl one is irrelevant in this blog post, the second entry in the toolchain changes is interesting. The default build flags for all Ubuntu packages that are determined by <code>dpkg-buildflags</code> have been changed so that <code>-O3</code> is being used as a default instead of <code>-O2</code>.</p><p>This means that all future builds for all Plucky Puffin packages will be more optimized. Because of this, the build times will increase, but that doesn’t affect the end user. As a result, the packages that are built with the third optimization level will be faster than before, which means that your computer will be faster the second you upgrade to 25.04.</p><p>However, the binary size for the packages will be bigger, and there is uncertainty whether all packages benefit from this level of optimization that will be applied to all the packages. Furthermore, all builds and tests will be run, so expect delays. After that, when you test 25.04 during the development cycle, you should experience performance improvements.</p><p>On a side note, <a href="https://perldoc.perl.org/perl5400delta" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Perl 5.40</a> was released to Ubuntu 25.04, which brings several new features, new <a href="https://perldoc.perl.org/perl5400delta#Diagnostics" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">analyzers</a>, and breaking changes, such as the <code>:reader</code> attribute for field variables, the breaking changes related to <code>use VERSION</code> declarations, the Infinity (<code>inf</code>) and Not-a-Number (<code>nan</code>) constants in <code>builtin</code> static class (module), the medium-precedence Logical XOR <code>^^</code> operator, the <code>try...catch...finally</code> block being a stable Perl feature, and stable support for multiple value iterations for the <code>for</code> loop.</p><p><strong>Let’s see what Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky Puffin will offer as the next LTS, 26.04 RR, gets closer to the development period.</strong></p><p><span></span></p><p><a
