Linus Torvalds and Kiryl Shutsemau have improved Linux kernel code using AI, with promising performance results and still in RFC stage.
Linus Torvalds used a smart computer called AI to make Linux code better. Kiryl Shutsemau made it even better. This could make Linux work faster.
Analysis
{"heading_1":"The Original Code","content_1":"Linus Torvalds used AI to improve the Linux kernel code, specifically for reading from the page cache without folio references. This code was published last week.","content_2":"Kiryl Shutsemau took the code and reworked it, showing promising performance results. The reworked code is still in the Request for Comments (RFC) stage.","content_3":"The reworked code is designed to read from the page cache without folio references, which is a significant improvement for workloads of small reads from a single file across many CPU threads."}
Key points
- Linus Torvalds used AI to improve Linux kernel code
- Kiryl Shutsemau reworked the code for better performance
- The patches are still in the Request for Comments (RFC) stage
The reworked code could lead to faster and more efficient Linux, benefiting developers and users alike.
There might be some issues or changes needed before the code is fully integrated into the main Linux kernel.
