Hi!
I am interested in promoting PGO to a larger amount of packages. I believe that it could improve the performance of a lot of programs. Unfortunately, right now only a veeeery small amount of applications support PGO out of the box. I would be happy to extend PGO support to as much software as possible.
I had been researching a little the PGO history in Clear Linux and found only this: How does Clear Linux use AutoFDO? - #2 by sunnyflunk
I am already started researching the current situation about PGO in the industry and created the following issues in multiple projects (C, C++, Rust). Maybe the following list will be interesting to someone: PGO all the things - Google Docs
I have the following questions/suggestions:
- Could you please help me with listing the currently PGO-optimized programs in Clear Linux? E.g. in the list from the link above I cannot find the Clang package (Clang definitely supports building with PGO).
- What is the vision of the Clear Linux team regarding PGO? Are you interested in enabling PGO for the applications?
Thanks in advance!
