The update of Linux kernel 6.13 brings a host of new features and technical improvements aimed at strengthening not only the performance of systems, but also their ability to manageenergy and to strengthen the s security effectively. In a world where energy consumption and security are of increasing concern, this development must be examined closely.
Advances in the Linux 6.13 kernel
Major technical characteristics
With the new version, several improvements attract attention. Among them, we note a strengthening of the management ofenergy on various models of CPU And GPU. Here are some notable points:
- Optimization of energy management on models AMD.
- Support for Intel Panther Lake processors.
- Improved device support Apple, including some MacBooks.
- Work better with Raspberry Pi for optimized graphics management.
Security and technical management
Security is an undeniable priority in system development. THE kernel 6.13 offers strong security mechanisms, promoting data protection and access management. Additions include:
- A new model ofpreemptive execution called Lazy Pre-emption.
- Integration of technologies allowing smoother management of system calls.
Integrated management of energy resources
An optimized energy system
The Linux 6.13 kernel has made significant progress in integrating management systemsenergy. With this update, the Secure Digital Ultra Capacity (SDUC) is now supported, allowing you to work with very large capacity SD cards. Here are some key things to remember:
| ⚡ SDUC support | Allows the use of SD cards up to 128 TB. |
| 🌐 GPU management | Improved support for Raspberry Pi VideoCore. |
| ⚙️ Optimization of preemption | The new model increases the efficiency of the scheduler without compromising other preemption modes. |
Advances in File Systems
File system improvements
THE Linux kernel 6.13 also makes notable adjustments to file systems, taking advantage of the benefits ofatomic writing on Ext4 And XFS. These modifications are suitable for applications requiring increased performance, particularly in the area of databases.
