The Linux kernel will support the latest dragon core 3A2000/3B2000

The Linux kernel will support the latest dragon core 3A2000/3B2000
GuideThe dragon core 3A2000/3B2000 is the latest upgrade product of the dragon core 3 Series processor. The processor core is upgraded to the new generation GS464E architecture. Recently, according to loongnix.org, the open-source Longson community, the support code for 3A2000/3B2000 has been added to the official Linux kernel and will be officially used when the latest version is released. Domestic CPU mighty !!

According to reports, the core of the dragon core 3A2000 processor adopts a self-designed high-performance GS464E microstructure, and the overall technology level of microstructure has reached the same level as Intel's IvyBridgy and AMD's Steamroller, the core 3A2000/3B2000 chip greatly improves system performance based on its compatibility with the core 3A1000 pins. The measured overall computing performance is increased by 1-2 times, the tested memory access performance is increased by 10-20 times, the tested IO performance is improved by 3-5 times, and targeted optimization support for virtual machines and binary translation is also provided.

In terms of software freedom and openness, godson has always been a benchmark for domestic self-developed CPUs. Linus Torvalds said: Talk is cheap, Show me the code. translated into Chinese: speech is cheap. Show me your code.
Today, exciting news comes that the support of the latest dragon core 3A2000/3B2000 has been added to the official kernel!

Here the Loongson-3A R2, is the Dragon core 3A2000/3B2000, apply the description in the submit information:

Of course, the code is still in the Git library of the www.linux-mips.org, but entering www.kernel.org is just a matter of time. To be exact, when the 4.7 official version of the kernel is released, it will fully support the dragon core 3A2000/3B2000!
