AMD Core Performance Boost For Linux Getting Per-CPU Core Controls
Posted: 2024-05-12 14:34:00 Source: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/05/11/229219/amd-core-performance-boost-for-linux-getting-per-cpu-core-controls?utm_source=atom1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
An anonymous reader shared this report from Phoronix: For the past several months AMD Linux engineers have been working on AMD Core Performance Boost support for their P-State CPU frequency scaling driver. The ninth iteration of these patches were posted on Monday and besides the global enabling/disabling support for Core Performance Boost, it's now possible to selectively toggle the feature on a per-CPU core basis... The new interface is under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/amd_pstate_boost_cpb for each CPU core. Thus users can tune whether particular CPU cores are boosted above the base frequency.

Red Hat (and CIQ) Offer Extend Support for RHEL 7 (and CentOS 7)
Posted: 2024-05-12 00:04:00 Source: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/05/10/2256230/red-hat-and-ciq-offer-extend-support-for-rhel-7-and-centos-7?utm_source=atom1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
This week, The Register reported: If you are still running RHEL 7, which is now approaching a decade old, there's good news. Red Hat is offering four more years of support for RHEL 7.9, which it terms Extended Life Cycle Support or ELS. If you are running the free version, CentOS Linux 7, that hits its end-of-life on the same date: June 30, 2024. CIQ, which offers CentOS Linux rebuild Rocky Linux, has a life cycle extension for that too, which it calls CIQ Bridge. The company told The Reg: "CIQ Bridge, essentially a long-term support service tailored for CentOS 7 users on the migration path to Rocky Linux, is offered under an annual, fixed-rate subscription. CIQ Bridge includes access to CentOS 7 extended life package updates for an additional three years and security updates for CVSS 7 issues and above. Security updates for CVSS 5 and 6 are available at an elevated subscription tier. CIQ Bridge is designed to support CentOS 7 users until they are ready for CIQ guidance and support in migration to Rocky Linux." CIQ believes there's a substantial market for this, and points to research from Enlyft that suggests hundreds of thousands of users still on CentOS Linux 7.

RHEL (and Rocky and Alma Linux) 9.4 Released - Plus AI Offerings
Posted: 2024-05-11 22:34:00 Source: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/05/10/231215/rhel-and-rocky-and-alma-linux-94-released---plus-ai-offerings?utm_source=atom1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 has been released. But also released is Rocky Linux 9.4, reports 9to5Linux: Rocky Linux 9.4 also adds openSUSE's KIWI next-generation appliance builder as a new image build workflow and process for building images that are feature complete with the old images... Under the hood, Rocky Linux 9.4 includes the same updated components from the upstream Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 This week also saw the release of Alma Linux 9.4 stable (the "forever-free enterprise Linux distribution... binary compatible with RHEL.") The Register points out that while Alma Linux is "still supporting some aging hardware that the official RHEL 9.4 drops, what's new is largely the same in them both." And last week also saw the launch of the AlmaLinux High-Performance Computing and AI Special Interest Group (SIG). HPCWire reports: "AlmaLinux's status as a community-driven enterprise Linux holds incredible promise for the future of HPC and AI," said Hayden Barnes, SIG leader and Senior Open Source Community Manager for AI Software at HPE. "Its transparency and stability empowers researchers, developers and organizations to collaborate, customize and optimize their computing environments, fostering a culture of innovation and accelerating breakthroughs in scientific research and cutting-edge AI/ML." And this week, InfoWorld reported: Red Hat has launched Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI), described as a foundation model platform that allows users to more seamlessly develop and deploy generative AI models. Announced May 7 and available now as a developer preview, RHEL AI includes the Granite family of open-source large language models (LLMs) from IBM, InstructLab model alignment tools based on the LAB (Large-Scale Alignment for Chatbots) methodology, and a community-driven approach to model development through the InstructLab project, Red Hat said.

How Microsoft and Red Hat Are Collaborating on Cloud Migrations
Posted: 2024-05-11 15:34:00 Source: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/05/10/2110217/how-microsoft-and-red-hat-are-collaborating-on-cloud-migrations?utm_source=atom1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
SiliconANGLE looks at how starting in 2021, Microsoft and Red Hat have formed "an unlikely partnership set to reshape the landscape of cloud computing..." First, their collective open-source capabilities will lead to co-developed solutions to simplify the modernization and migration of Red Hat technologies to the cloud, seamlessly integrating them with Microsoft's Azure platform, according to João Couto, EMEA VP and COO of cloud commercial solutions at Microsoft. "We have acquired GitHub, which is also one of the largest repositories of open source worldwide," he said. "In that context, it makes a lot of sense to work together with Red Hat." Transcribed from their interview: What we have been doing so far is making sure that we are co-developing solutions together with Red Hat. And making these solutions available to our customers — making it easy for customers to transform, to modernize [their] Red Hat technology running on-prem, and moving them into cloud using our own Microsoft cloud technology, but Red Hat solutions, in a very, very seamless, integrated way. And also leveraging all the entire portfolio of Red Hat automation tools, so that they can make it easier for customers not just to do the migration, but also to do management, run the operation, and all the troubleshooting also from the customer-care perspective. So that's basically an end-to-end partnership approach that we are taking... "[Customers] get an integrated support experience from Red Hat technical teams and Microsoft technical teams. And this means that these two technical teams are often colocated, so whenever a customer has a challenge, they are being answered by Microsoft and Red Hat technical teams, all working together to solve this challenge from the customer. So this brings also an increased level of confidence to customers to move to cloud... "We have both engineering teams from both sides working together to achieve this level of integration between the two solutions. So when you talk about Red Hat Enterprise Linux or when you have the Azure Red Hat OpenShift, which is a new solution that we have recently launched — these are solutions that using open source, are bringing in an additional level of integration, flexibility, automation to customers. So that they can migrate, and manage, their solutions in a more seamless way, and in a more easy way. So we are embedding this kind of overlying partnership from an open source perspective to bring these innovations live to customers."

Embracing the Future: The Transition from SysVinit to Systemd in Linux
Posted: 2024-05-09 16:00:00 Source: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/embracing-future-transition-sysvinit-systemd-linux
Introduction
Linux, the powerhouse behind countless servers and desktops worldwide, relies heavily on an initialization (init) system to bootstrap user space and manage system processes after booting. Traditionally, this role was fulfilled by SysVinit, the standard init system derived from the UNIX System V operating system. However, the evolving complexity and needs of modern computing systems have led to the development of systemd, which has increasingly become the default init system for many Linux distributions. This article explores the transition from SysVinit to systemd, discussing the intricacies and implications of this pivotal change.
Understanding SysVinit
SysVinit was one of the first init systems widely adopted across various UNIX-like operating systems, serving as a de facto standard for many years. It operates by executing scripts located in the /etc/rc.d directory. These scripts are run sequentially at boot to start various services. Despite its widespread use, SysVinit has several limitations:
- Sequential processing: SysVinit starts services in a linear order, which can lead to inefficiencies as faster services must wait for slower ones to start.
- Lack of dependencies: There is no inherent mechanism for handling service dependencies, often resulting in complex and error-prone script-based solutions.
- Limited management capabilities: SysVinit provides minimal tools for actively managing running services, making dynamic control and supervision challenging.
These limitations prompted the Linux community to look for a more robust and dynamic init system, leading to the development of systemd.
Introduction to Systemd
Systemd, introduced by Lennart Poettering and Kay Sievers, is a suite of tools providing powerful capabilities to manage system resources and services. It is designed to be backward compatible with SysVinit scripts but also introduces many features that enhance the functionality and performance of the system:
