ARM Cortex A55 support

2021-10-18 Thread Stefan Johansson A
Hello,

We have been using Linaro GCC 7.5-2019.12 for the A53.
As we move on to new tech there seems to be no support for "-
mcpu=cortex-a55".

Today, we use the aarch64-elf- toolchain.
What GCC do you suggest we start using for A55 ?


Thanks,
Stefan

Re: [TCWG CI] 433.milc:[.] mult_su3_mat_vec slowed down by 16% after llvm: [AIX][ZOS] Excluding merge-objc-interface.m from Tests

Hi Quingsi,

This report is a false positive.  We will investigate why noise levels have 
increased in our benchmarking setup.

Regards,
