What’s New

  • January 2020 CPU Release.

  • InZVM20.01.0.0, -XX:+FalconCompensateForIntelMCUForErratumSKX102 is an off-by-default option and introduces a nop padding based mitigation for performance regressions seen on some systems following Intel’s microcode updates in response to errata SKX102. This option is expected to become the default in a future Zing release. If enabled, nop padding will be used to align affected branches on systems with the microcode update applied.

    For testing purposes, the flag -XX:+ForceFalconCompensateForIntelMCUForErratumSKX102 is also provided. This can be used to force the generation of nop padded code on unaffected systems for performance validation.
