== GCC == === Progress === * Identified particular patterns that have issues with scheduler descriptions in A8 and A9 . Fixes to be benchmarked next. * Spent sometime on the new tree-reassoc work but SPEC2k failed for some of the neon configurations. Needs investigation. * T2 perf call. * Looked at libquantum bits with Revital. * BRANCH_COST benchmarking now complete for T2 . Same is running for ARM state. * Some patch review and bugzilla triaging upstream.

=== Plans === * ivopts patch for RichardS to try out - related to the excessive moves between integer and VFP unit. * BRANCH_COST further results. * Submit scheduler patches upstream after benchmarking.
