Release
AMD AOCL 6.0 Introduces New RNG Library, Initial Zen 6 CPU Optimizations
Phoronix · By Michael Larabel ·
The Brief
- AMD released AOCL 6.0, its AMD Optimizing CPU Libraries, alongside AOCC 6.0 and a new Fortran compiler called AOF.
- AOCL 6.0 adds a new random number generator (RNG) library and initial optimizations for Zen 6 CPUs.
Why it matters
Developers using AMD's numerical and math libraries get a new RNG library and early Zen 6 tuning, which matters if they target or plan to run on Zen 6 hardware.
