FEX 2406 Brings JIT Optimizations For Running x86_64 Binaries On AArch64

([Free Software] 16 Minutes Ago FEX 2406)


FEX is one of the open-source projects working on user-mode x86/x86_64 binary emulation atop ARM64/AArch64 Linux. FEX 2406 is out today as the project's newest monthly feature release.

FEX 2406 is shipping with a number of just-in-time (JIT) optimizations, a much improved register allocator, and a variety of other performance optimizations to yield between 2% and 12% better performance. FEX 2406 also adds support for 32-bit OpenGL thunking as part of improving its x86 32-bit game/app compatibility.

FEX 2406 also brings changes around its default TSO emulation, ARM64EC improvements, and other fixes. Downloads and more details on this FEX 2406 emulator update via [1]FEX-Emu.com .

I suppose some of the variation between Boston drivers and the rest of the
country is due to the progressive Massachusetts Driver Education Manual which
I happen to have in my top desk drawer. Some of the Tips for Better Driving
are worth considering, to wit:

[110.13]:
"When traveling on a one-way street, stay to the right, so as not
to interfere with oncoming traffic."

[22.17b]:
"Learning to change lanes takes time and patience. The best
recommendation that can be made is to go to a Celtics [basketball]
game; study the fast break and then go out and practice it
on the highway."

[41.16]:
"Never bump a baby carriage out of a crosswalk unless the kid's really
asking for it."
