Solus Linux Making Performance Gains With Its BLAS Configuration

Those making use of the promising Solus Linux distribution will soon find their BLAS-based workloads are faster.

Solus developer Peter O'Connor tweeted this week that he's found some issues with the BLAS linking on the distribution and he's made fixes for Solus. He also mentioned that he uncovered these BLAS issues by using our Phoronix Test Suite benchmarking software.

He uploaded some of his before/after numbers of the Solus BLAS changes to OpenBenchmarking.org and the results are fairly dramatic:



It looks similar to some of the optimizations done by Clear Linux with their improvements for some of these workloads compared to Ubuntu, etc. Just what I always love to see: more default / out-of-the-box Linux distribution performance improvements!
