FEX (ARM to x86) 2610 Released With Handling For AVX-VNNI, Disk Cache Improvements

7 days ago by auzy1 to c/LinuxNews

FEX 2610 released today as the newest monthly release of this open-source emulator for running x86_64 games/apps on AArch64 for ARM64 Linux systems, including most notably by Valve's Steam Frame headset.

FEX 2610 brings more JIT improvements, including handling for AVX-VNNI. The AVX Vector Neural Network Instructions are beginning to be used by some game libraries and thus important for FEX-Emu to support. The FEX JIT also seen some SSE4.2 optimizations, 3DNow! instruction handling has been restored, a new AVX gather optimization, and software fall-backs for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions.

FEX is used by steam frame to play many games, and I suspect it will play a huge part in the success of Linux in the future as the use of ARM grows
