Opener offers fresh outlook for Rockies, Marlins
De La Rosa faces Fernandez as both clubs seek turnaround in 2014
The Rockies and Marlins are looking to rebound from last-place finishes in their respective divisions a year ago. Colorado's operating on a dramatically smaller budget than its National League West counterparts in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Miami's up against a consensus favorite in Washington and an Atlanta club that won 96 games in 2013.
But both clubs have reason to believe in 2014 as their seasons begin tonight at Marlins Park.
For the Rockies, look no further than superstars Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez. If they're healthy and playing well, Colorado could be a contender in the NL West.
"You're going to have players put up good numbers, and at the end of the year you're going to have batting titles and Gold Gloves and Silver Sluggers," Gonzalez said. "That's why it's so difficult to believe we're not going to be contenders. If we all stay together, we're going to be a really hard team to beat.
The Marlins, meanwhile, have the kind of high-end young pitching every team desires. That starts at the top with reigning NL Rookie of the Year Award winner Jose Fernandez, who will start on Opening Day after an incredible debut in '13.
Yet, for each team, there are questions. How is Miami going to score runs? That question has recently taken on another life inside the Marlins' clubhouse and morphed into a different question. What is the identity of the 2014 Miami Marlins?
"Obviously, it's pitching. But we've got to find ways to score runs," said catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, one of a few veterans brought in to provide some leadership for the club's talented young players. "So we've got to run the bases right. We've got to make sure we don't make any errors on the field. Just that gritty way of playing."
Saltalamacchia mentioned that the Marlins need to think like the Rays and A's, who are among the teams to beat in their respective divisions despite their low payrolls.
"It's a process. A lot of times, when you're the underdog, and people look up, you've already passed them," he said. "That's what we're looking to do."
"Obviously, everything starts with pitching. That was really the strength of what this team was all about last year. What you didn't have last year was that veteran leadership," said veteran outfielder Reed Johnson, who made the club as a non-roster invitee. "I think hitting is all about approach. There are a lot more people in the big leagues who are a lot more talented, who are bigger, stronger, faster than I am. But I feel like my approach is a pretty good approach at the plate. If you can relay that to a young player, that makes all the difference in the world to those guys.
"Obviously, the more you play and the more experience you have, the better your approach becomes as far as being able to give a quality at-bat. If you can help younger players with that, I think that can make a difference."
The biggest question facing the Rockies is a lot more simple: How can they keep Tulowitzki and Gonzalez on the field? Tulowitzki played 126 games in his All-Star 2013 campaign and only 47 in 2012. Manager Walt Weiss has nixed the idea of putting Gonzalez, who played 110 games last year, in center field, something that had been under consideration earlier in the offseason.
"The big thing is we want to keep [Gonzalez] on the field. Risk and reward has kind of swung the other way," Weiss said. "We are in a different place than we were in the fall. That's what it comes down to."
Rockies: De La Rosa ready for Game 1
• Left-hander Jorge De La Rosa didn't put together the most impressive Spring Training numbers leading up to his Opening Day start against the Marlins, but he showed in his final outing that he's ready to go now that the time is right. Facing the Giants on Wednesday, De La Rosa struck out seven batters over six scoreless innings, allowing only three hits and a walk in his final tuneup.
"To finish throwing like this gives you a lot of confidence," De La Rosa said Wednesday. "I'll try to take that into my next game and keep doing the things I did today."
The Opening Day nod is certainly an honor for De La Rosa, who missed 16 months from May 2011 to September 2012 after Tommy John surgery. He bounced back with a 16-6 record and 3.49 ERA in '13 and convinced Weiss he should be given the ball come Game 1.
"He's worked really hard, and he deserves it," Weiss said earlier this spring. "He's a great pitcher for us, a great pitcher at our park."
Marlins: Jose ready to go
• Fernandez hasn't pitched in an official game since Sept. 11, his final outing before his innings limit came into play. He wound up pitching 172 2/3 innings last year as he posted a 12-6 record, 2.19 ERA and 187 strikeouts. Not bad for a guy who was ticketed for the Minors around this time a year ago.
Now, the 21-year-old righty will become the youngest Opening Day starter in franchise history and the youngest pitcher to get an Opening Day assignment since a 20-year-old Felix Hernandez took the mound for the Mariners in 2007.
"I think every player remembers their first Opening Day start, whether you're a position player or a pitcher," manager Mike Redmond said after naming Fernandez the Marlins' Opening Day starter. "I think about how far he's come in the last year, from last year slated to maybe go to Double-A to pitching in the big leagues starting the season and winning Rookie of the Year.
"So that's a pretty amazing year. And he just keeps going. Opening Day starter, which is a day he'll remember for the rest of his life."
Worth noting
• Fernandez held current Rockies hitters to a .163/.182/.233 batting line in 44 total plate appearances last year. For the sake of reference, the pitcher batted .220/.216/.340 in his 58 plate appearances in 2013.
• Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino will throw the ceremonial first pitch for the Marlins on Opening Day, and the club also plans to recognize Henderson Alvarez, who no-hit the Tigers in the 2013 season finale, in a pregame ceremony.

Note: Separate PDQ summaries on Stomach (Gastric) Cancer Prevention, Gastric Cancer Treatment, and Levels of Evidence for Cancer Screening and Prevention Studies are also available.
Based on fair evidence, screening would not result in a decrease in mortality from gastric cancer in areas with relatively low incidence of the disease, such as the United States.
Magnitude of Effect: Fair evidence for no reduction in mortality.
- Study Design: Evidence obtained from case-control and cohort studies, primarily from high-risk areas such as Eastern Asia.
- Internal Validity: Fair.
- Consistency: Poor in prospective studies.[1]
- External Validity: Poor. Studies on populations in high-risk areas may not be applicable to low-risk areas such as the United States.
Based on solid evidence, screening would result in uncommon but serious side effects associated with endoscopy, which may include perforation, cardiopulmonary events, aspiration pneumonia, and bleeding requiring hospitalization.
False-positive tests are also common in association with serum pepsinogen or gastric photofluorography.
Magnitude of Effect: Good evidence for rare but serious harms.
Description of the Evidence
- Study Design: Evidence obtained from screening programs and from case series.
- Internal Validity: Fair.
- Consistency: Inadequate evidence.
- External Validity: Poor.

Description of the Evidence
Incidence and mortality
In 2015, it is estimated that 24,590 Americans will be diagnosed with gastric cancer and 10,720 will die of it.[1] Two-thirds of people diagnosed with gastric cancer are older than 66 years. The disease is much more common in other countries, principally Japan, Central Europe, Scandinavia, Hong Kong, South and Central America, the Soviet Union, China, and Korea. Gastric cancer is a major cause of death worldwide, especially in developing countries.[2]
The major type of gastric cancer is adenocarcinoma (95%). The remaining malignant tumors include lymphomas, sarcomas, carcinoid tumors and other rare types. Distinguishing the common adenocarcinoma from the uncommon lymphoma may sometimes be difficult but is important, due to major differences in staging, treatment, and prognosis.[3] Gastric adenocarcinomas can be further categorized into an intestinal type and a diffuse type.[4] Intestinal-type lesions are frequently ulcerative and occur in the distal stomach more often than the diffuse type. Diffuse-type lesions are associated with a worse prognosis than the intestinal type. The intestinal type tends to be predominant in geographic regions with a high incidence of gastric carcinoma. The decline in the incidence of gastric cancer worldwide is largely due to a decrease in the number of intestinal-type lesions.
Risk Factors
The incidence of gastric cancer in the United States has decreased fourfold since 1930 to approximately seven cases per 100,000 people.[5] The reasons for this striking decrease in incidence are not fully understood but are suspected to be related to improved storage of food and changes in diet, such as decreased salt intake. Some populations of Americans are at elevated risk, including elderly patients with atrophic gastritis or pernicious anemia, patients with sporadic gastric adenomas,[6] familial adenomatous polyposis,[7] or hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer,[8] and immigrant ethnic populations from countries with high rates of gastric carcinoma.[9,10]
Risk factors for gastric cancer include the presence of precursor conditions such as chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia, pernicious anemia, and gastric adenomatous polyps. Genetic and environmental factors include a family history of gastric cancer; low consumption of fruits and vegetables; consumption of salted, smoked, or poorly preserved foods; and cigarette smoking.[11,12] There is consistent evidence that Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach is strongly associated with both the initiation and promotion of carcinoma of the gastric body and antrum, and of gastric lymphoma.[13-15] The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies H. pylori infection as a cause of noncardia gastric carcinoma and low-grade B-cell mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue gastric lymphoma (i.e., a Group 1 human carcinogen).[16,17] Compared with the general population, people with duodenal ulcer disease may have a lower risk of gastric cancer.[18]
Evidence of Benefit Associated With Screening
Several screening techniques, including barium-meal photofluorography, gastric endoscopy, and serum pepsinogen have been proposed as screening methods for the early detection of gastric cancer. No randomized trials evaluating the impact of screening on mortality from gastric cancer have been reported.[12,19] Even in very high-risk areas, the positive predictive value (PPV) of the screening tests may be very low. In a screening program of 17,647 men aged 40 to 60 years in Wakayama City, Japan, the PPV of combined serum pepsinogen and barium meal with digital radiography over the 7-year period was 0.85%.[20] The positive test rates were 19.5% for serum pepsinogen and 22.5% for radiography, with a cancer detection rate of 0.28%. Over the 7-year period, there was no reduction in gastric cancer mortality compared with an age-matched surrounding population.
Barium-meal gastric photofluorography
A national program of population-based screening for gastric cancer using barium-meal photofluorography has been ongoing since the 1960s in Japan. Participation rates have been in the range of only 10% to 20%.[12,20] Although there has been a coincident decrease in mortality from gastric cancer in Japan, mortality rates have been decreasing in many developed countries despite the lack of screening programs. Case-control studies from Japan show decreases in gastric mortality in people who have undergone screening, but results from prospective studies were not consistent.[12,19]
A pilot study of community-based photofluorography was conducted in Costa Rica using the same techniques as those used in Japan's national program (with consultation from Japanese experts).[21] People were invited by letter from a population registry to attend two rounds of screening, and a total of 6,200 eligible screened participants (of a planned 12,000) were analyzed. Their gastric cancer mortality from 2 to 7 years after screening was compared with four control groups that had not been invited to be screened, and the relative risk was about 0.5 (no p-value reported). The study was, however, prone to strong biases, including selection bias, and likely differential exclusion of people with previously diagnosed gastric cancer favoring the screened population. In addition, unlike the community controls, patients diagnosed with gastric cancer through the screening program were treated at a single referral center. The PPV of a suspicious fluorograph was 3%; the specificity in the two rounds was 67% and 80%; and the positivity rates were 34% and 20%. Despite the authors' belief that their results provided substantial evidence that routine screening would decrease gastric cancer mortality, they concluded that the costs of screening with photofluorography would be far too high in their country.
A screening study was begun in Venezuela in 1980, using radiographic fluorography.[22] The efficacy of this program in reducing mortality from stomach cancer was evaluated by means of a case-control study, and there was no detectable reduction in mortality from gastric cancer.
Gastric endoscopy
Endoscopy appears to be more sensitive than photofluorography for the detection of gastric cancer.[23] Time-trend analysis and case-control studies of gastric endoscopy suggest a twofold decrease in gastric cancer mortality in screened versus unscreened individuals;[24-28] however, this stands in contrast to studies of stronger design.
A cohort study of endoscopic screening was conducted in Linqu County, China, where gastric cancer rates are high, in which 4,394 adult residents aged 35 to 64 years were screened. Individuals were screened at an average of 4.5-year intervals, except for a high-risk subset (689 individuals) that was screened 2 years after the initial examination. Of the 85 cases of gastric cancer occurring in the cohort, 58 were detected with screening. No impact on gastric cancer mortality was observed among screened individuals. The standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for gastric cancer 10 years after the initial screen was 1.01 (95% confidence interval, 0.72–1.37). The SMR for all-cause mortality was significantly lower among participants because individuals with hypertension, liver disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were not eligible to participate.[29] The data were observational, and not primarily collected to evaluate the effect of screening on gastric cancer mortality. In addition, the intervals between screens may have been too long.
Serum pepsinogen
There are no studies evaluating the effect of screening with serum pepsinogen on gastric cancer mortality, and there are important limitations to its use as a screening test. Low serum pepsinogen levels indicate the presence of atrophic gastritis and are therefore applicable to the detection of presumed precursors for intestinal type gastric cancer rather than the diffuse type.[20] In addition, there are no standard cut-off values of abnormality.[12,30] Finally, eradication of H. pylori and use of proton pump inhibitors for the management of indigestion change pepsinogen levels, making interpretation of results difficult in the setting of widespread use of these interventions.[12,20]
In Japan, measurement of serum pepsinogen levels I and II (PGI and PGII) in 5,113 subjects also screened by endoscopy (13 gastric cancers detected), used cut-off points for identifying risk for gastric cancer of less than 70 ng/mL for PGI and less than 3 ng/mL for the PGI:PGII ratio. This combination provided a sensitivity of 84.6%, a specificity of 73.5%, a PPV of 0.81%, and a negative predictive value of 99.6%.[31]
Clinical considerations for high risk groups
There may be justification for screening some populations of Americans at higher risk, although there is considerable discussion about how much incidence would make the examination worthwhile. Potential subgroups might include elderly patients with atrophic gastritis or pernicious anemia, patients with partial gastrectomy,[32] patients with the diagnosis of sporadic adenomas,[6] familial adenomatous polyposis,[7] or hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer,[8] and immigrant ethnic populations from countries with high rates of gastric carcinoma.[9,10]
Evidence of Harm Associated With Screening
Harms of routine screening for gastric cancer are poorly quantitated or reported, and derive chiefly from screening experiences in very high-risk areas such as Japan.[19] The most frequent harm is the occurrence of false-positive tests.[20] Exposure to the low doses of radiation (about 0.6 mSv in photofluorography) carries a theoretical but poorly quantified risk of carcinogenesis. Additional rare complications of screening may include adverse effects of premedication (used for endoscopy and sometimes photofluorography), and bleeding or perforation from endoscopy.[19] As with any screening test, there is a possibility of overdiagnosis with attendant overtreatment. Since harms such as perforation and bleeding may vary with the experience of the screening center, they may be higher in populations at low risk for gastric cancer, such as the United States, than in mass screening programs in Japan.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also known as MIT, is a private research university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. MIT has five schools and one college, containing a total of 32 academic departments, with a strong emphasis on scientific and technological education and research. Founded in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States, the institute adopted the European polytechnic university model and emphasized laboratory instruction from an early date. MIT's early emphasis on applied technology at the undergraduate and graduate levels led to close cooperation with industry. Curricular reforms under Karl Compton and Vannevar Bush in the 1930s re-emphasized basic scientific research. MIT was elected to the Association of American Universities in 1934. Researchers were involved in efforts to develop computers, radar, and inertial guidance in connection with defense research during World War II and the Cold War. In the past 60 years, MIT's educational disciplines have expanded beyond the physical sciences and engineering into fields such as biology, economics, linguistics, political science, and management. MIT received 17,909 applicants for the class of 2015, with only 1,742 offered admittance, an acceptance rate of 9.7%. It employs around 1,000 faculty members. 77 Nobel laureates, 52 National Medal of Science recipients, 45 Rhodes Scholars, and 38 MacArthur Fellows are currently or have previously been affiliated with the university. MIT has a strong entrepreneurial culture. The aggregated revenues of companies founded by MIT alumni would rank as the eleventh-largest economy in the world.

For more photos, a report card and the box score, see Page 4D.
COLUMBUS — Alabama, Florida State and Oregon again crushed overmatched conference foes Saturday. Meanwhile, fourth-ranked Ohio State scuffled to dispatch Penn State.
Wait a minute, check that. We interrupt this regularly scheduled bashing of the Buckeyes to offer a few facts.
Ohio State chewed up Penn State 63-14 before a prime-time audience in a nationally televised assault.
Better still, everyone could go to bed early because coach Urban Meyer�s bunch put this one out of reach before the yawns started on the East Coast.
The Buckeyes unleashed a wickedly balanced offense in the first two quarters featuring the power of senior Carlos Hyde and the flash of junior Braxton Miller. By halftime, Hyde had 130 yards, a pair of touchdowns and averaged 10 yards per carry. Miller completed 15-of-18 passes for 204 yards and two scores, and ran for 68 more and two scores. Both had a seat in the third quarter.
Hyde finished with 147 yards on 16 carries, and Miller was 18 of 24 for 254 yards and three touchdowns.
The jaw-dropping show led to an incredible 414 yards of total offense in the first half, 686 for the game.
Such numbers generate overwhelming praise for the Ducks or Seminoles, no matter the foe.
What made it special for Ohio State � beyond the obvious reversal of the same score from 1994 � the defense finally displayed a pulse. The Buckeyes allowed more than 250 yards of offense in the first two quarters, but there were some plays mixed in to mitigate the damage.
A unit that has earned derision with its pedestrian look all season racked up three sacks and two interceptions to forge a beefy, 42-7 halftime lead.
The second half simply was piling on, including Miller�s final touchdown pass from 26 yards to freshman Dontre �The Weapon� Wilson.
Was it enough to begin a perception alteration across the country? Why do we have to ask?
Rarely will a team riding a 20-game winning streak draw such widespread criticism. Notably, the Ohio State has cracked 50 points seven times in that stretch.
Yet somehow Meyer�s team has been a national punching bag.
This time, the Buckeyes did the punching before a partisan 105,889 fans at Ohio Stadium. Ohio State (8-0, 4-0) will be favored to extend its winning streak next Saturday at hapless � some say hopeless � Purdue.
Obviously, this is not a vintage Penn State team. But the Nittany Lions (4-3, 1-2) were coming off an emotional, 43-40 four-overtime win against Michigan. PSU also had a bye week to prepare.
It didn�t help.
Coach Bill O�Brien�s squad was outclassed and allowed the most points since yielding 64 to Duquesne in 1899. The Nittany Lions threw up the white flag in the third by yanking freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg.
Meanwhile, the signs were all positive for the Buckeyes. Miller ran like his old self with his first two rushing scores of the season. Hyde is the powerhouse back Woody Hayes used to punish Midwest foes for generations.
This was Ohio State�s best game of the season. Rounding into November, it�s time for champions to look like champions.
On this weekend, the Buckeyes certainly did.

Pok's Group
Pok is leading a loan group which consists of three female members who all are first-time borrowers with VisionFund. They are requesting loans for 160,000 KHR each. The group leader Pok will use her loan portion to build a latrine for use by the family. Wit the loan, Pok will be able to avoid using unsanitary practices and create a healthier environment for her whole family. With this latrine properly installed, she can also help to promote sanitation and hygiene practices in her community.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of VisionFund Cambodia's initiative to expand access to clean water and/or sanitation to poor rural households.
Water filter loans provide poor households with clean, safe drinking water without requiring it to be boiled over wood fires. This protects borrowers' health and Cambodia's precious forests. Today, many rural Cambodians depend on rainwater, boreholes and surface water -- none of which are regarded as safe sources of fresh water. Walter filters provide a safer, easier and more economic alternative. VisionFund Cambodia is partnering with Hydrologic Social Enterprise to get water filters to families who need them most.
Latrine loans help households build standard, housed latrines for improved sanitation. In rural Cambodia, sanitation poses a major challenge for those who cannot afford to construct a household latrine. Every year, thousands of children die and many others fail to thrive due to dehydration, poor immunity and malnutrition caused by diarrhea and poor sanitation. VisionFund Cambodia is offering credit to change this picture.
About VisionFund Cambodia
VisionFund Cambodia is a Christian organization and microfinance institution that provides small loans and other financial services to improve the lives of children, empower poor women and their families, and grow successful businesses. The organization works primarily in rural parts of Cambodia and has distinguished itself by targeting the very poor who require smaller loan sizes, regardless of religious beliefs, gender or ethnic background.Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand into the northeastern provinces of the country, which have historically been underserved and difficult to reach with financial services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

Rox hand McHugh the ball for injured De La Rosa
D-backs look to Cahill, who's won four consecutive decisions
Having not won a game in the Major Leagues since 2011 entering this season, Rockies left-hander Jorge De La Rosa had a real shot at reaching 20 victories in 2013 after he earned his 16th win on Sept. 4. But after leaving his next start early with pain in three fingers on his throwing hand, the southpaw has yet to take the mound again.
De La Rosa and the Rockies initially hoped he'd be able to return to action Saturday in the second of the club's three-game weekend set with the D-backs at Coors Field, but he was scratched because his throwing thumb is still bothering him.
In De La Rosa's place, Colorado will send right-hander Collin McHugh to the bump. The 26-year-old has only appeared in five games this season -- three with the Mets -- but is coming off a strong showing Monday, when he threw five innings and allowed one run in a win over the Cardinals.
"There was a little rust, definitely some breaking balls I'd like to have back, but other than that, I was pleased," McHugh said after the game.
Opposing McHugh for the D-backs, who were officially eliminated from postseason contention on Friday, will be right-hander Trevor Cahill. The 25-year-old has won four consecutive decisions dating back to Aug. 17 and defeated the Dodgers his last time out, holding the National League West champions to one run on two hits over 5 1/3 innings. The lone score came on a bases-loaded walk he issued to Yasiel Puig.
"I was trying to throw it down the middle and couldn't locate," Cahill said. "Everything seemed fine as far as mechanics, it just kind of didn't go where I wanted it to go."
Rockies: Cuddyer sits second day with wrist injury
Michael Cuddyer missed his second straight start when the Rockies faced the D-backs Friday night due to a left wrist injury.
Cuddyer injured the wrist and his right forearm when he landed awkwardly after making a diving catch in the sixth inning of Wednesday night's loss to the Cardinals.
"It's not really the forearm, it's the wrist," manager Walt Weiss said. "His forearm got banged up, but it's the wrist that got caught up underneath him that's still pretty sore."
Cuddyer took a cortisone shot Friday and hopes to return to game action Sunday. He's competing with the Braves' Chris Johnson for the NL batting title -- they're tied at .331.
D-backs: Owings to see time at second
Over the last nine games of the season, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson will likely give rookie Chris Owings some playing time at second base. He has primarily played shortstop during his Minor League career, though he did see 11 games at second in Triple-A this year.
"I've been taking ground balls over there," Owings said. "Whenever he decides to play me over there, I'll be ready."
Owings is 7-for-29 since being called up earlier this month. He grounded out to first in the ninth inning Friday.
Worth noting
• The D-backs' Gerardo Parra has tallied a club-record and Major League-leading 17 outfield assists in 2013.
• Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, who hasn't played since Aug. 4 because of a right middle finger sprain, took a cortisone shot when he visited Dr. Thomas Graham in Cleveland this week and hopes it will allow him to hit off a tee in about a week. If the pain returns when he swings, Gonzalez may opt for surgery, according to Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger, but would have it early enough to be ready for Spring Training in 2014.

One of those Saturdays when you wake up early, put on some coffee, and fire up your music player in preparation for a day full music "jukeboxing" and personal inspiration. A great way to multitask around the house and accomplish a lot of things. Higher volumes are recommended.
Tomorrow is going to be a Jukebox Saturday. I need to get a lot done around the house, and I also need to sort through some music.

What happened there at graphics magic tests? Do the newer gccs utilize OpenMP that much better?
Phoronix: Compiler Benchmarks Of GCC, LLVM-GCC, DragonEgg, Clang
LLVM 2.8 was released last month with the Clang compiler having feature-complete C++ support, enhancements to the DragonEgg GCC plug-in, a near feature-complete alternative to libstdc++, a drop-in system assembler, ARM code-generation improvements, and many other changes. With there being great interest in the Low-Level Virtual Machine, we have conducted a large LLVM-focused compiler comparison at Phoronix of GCC with versions 4.2.1 through 4.6-20101030, GCC 4.5.1 using the DragonEgg 2.8 plug-in, LLVM-GCC with LLVM 2.8 and GCC 4.2, and lastly with Clang on LLVM 2.8.
What happened there at graphics magic tests? Do the newer gccs utilize OpenMP that much better?
this template footer found in nearly every phoronix article, sounds like "please disregard this article, it's going to be obsolete soon"While LLVM/Clang is not yet decisively faster than GCC, it is continuing to make great progress and does boast a different feature-set and focus from the GNU Compiler Collection.
quite nice.
it seems llvm likes c-ray but no chess.
what id like to see now is a linux kernel (compiled with these different compilers) performance benchmark.
a thing that bothers me aswell is the fact that there are being "regressions found" on intel cpu whereas there is a huge performance improvement on AMD (or vice versa). maybe one should take this into account when looking for regressions. as far as i remember there have only been benchmarks with intel hardware...
and as the graphs show there really are some interesting splits in performance with different hardware
Sorry, that was ambiguous. As in, Linux kernel compiling can't be done with llvm.
I may have missed it but what optimizations were used for these tests (especially for gcc)?
More, less?Code:-march=native -mtune=native -fomit-frame-pointer -O3
-mtune=native is redundant if you're using -march=native.
-fomit-frame-pointer breaks debuggability in x86.
-O3 has bugs and might slow down run-time in many cases.
Good article, nice graphs and happy bday!
I'd bet with time that LLVM using compilers will catch up to GCC in the rest of the tests.
What compiler flags were used to build each package? These benchmarks are out of context without that information.

why attacking Alan Cox?
He wrote the code. His choice of licence. End of story.
Nvidia are the ones moving around in a legally dark grey area doing morally despictable stuff. If they really care they could always open up their drivers. Or support linux driver development like AMD or Intel.
Nvidia wants to play dirty - and moronix should not help them.
What part of what I said implies I don't like opensource? What part of preventing NVIDIA from using DMA-BUF promotes opensource?
Not allowing the use of DMA-BUF means they either make their own CLOSED stuff or no Optimus. So please explain me how that would help opensource?
No, people will probably not start jumping to nouveau. And if they do, many will have serious issues and won't care much about whether it's open or not when they just out of it, or from Linux in general. This won't help opensource in anyway, maybe hurt it though.
And NVIDIA will NOT opensource their driver. Heck, even if their management wanted to, they couldn't.
So even if I mostly said that as a joke, I stand by it, since I'd prefer the best experience for Linux users and the best fate for Linux. Nvidia delving more in open things will spread more openness, not the opposite. "Cox blocking" them will likely do the opposite.
Btw, I don't have anything Optimus related(not even an NVIDIA card), it's like It will affect me directly in any way.
I like opensource, but thinking realistically is cool too.
In the end, making an exception for NVIDIA would likely help opensource more than hurt it, if it happened.
Btw, I won't do anywhere because of some "OpenSource Nazis".(Not necessarily referring to Alan and co)
Can't NVidia just release their own implementation of the DMA-BUF API? After all one of the recent Dalvik/Java suits made it clear that an API itself cannot be copyrighted and therefore subject to a license agreement.
I generally wonder why dynamic linking A to B makes A a derivative work of B. It's not like every Windows program, which links dynamically to Windows components such as kernel32.dll or user32.dll is automatically a derivative work of Windows.

Alan Cox is an asshole.
I have an Optimus laptop and as things stand, I will never get the expected performance out of my GT 555M on Linux.
Nouveau's use of dma-buf is not a solution. It works, but it's as slow as using the Intel GPU. Plus, the power management puts my card in an unusable state when I want to reboot into Windows.
This. We have a few simple facts here:
- The kernel is GPL, and the license states that everything that communicates to it through anything but system calls is considered a derivative work.
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is part of the kernel.
- EXPORT_SYMBOL is part of the kernel.
So they are both under the GPL, just the former explicitly notes that. Changing it makes zero difference, and the fact that it was changed itself can be considered an acknowledgement that it is under the GPL (if they didn't know that, they wouldn't have changed it).
The only ways to make DMA-BUF available for use with proprietary software is to either make it no longer a part of the kernel, or make it somehow accessible via system calls. Otherwise the functionality must be reimplemented in userland.
It's really that simple and clear-cut, when you look at it.

So i have a question for all you hardcore easterners... im from san diego born and raised, and im moving to maine next year (portland).
Im curious, even with a 6/5/4 boots hood gloves and thermals underneath etc.. are you actually ever warm? or is it just a coldness thats tolerable for an hour or so? i know wind chill plays a big part as well as other things but if you could give me some general feedback id appreciate it.
Im not a fool i know its gonna be freakin cold and ill surely incur a barrage of "cali" jokes but ive surfed for a few decades in both warm and chilly (central cal) water. but im really excited to experience "exotic" albeit fickle Nor Eastern surf.

Roster Rundown: #74 Nick Mangold
Position: Offensive Center
Height / Weight: 6'4″ 307 lbs.
Age: 28 / Experience: 6
College: Ohio State
2012 Contract Status: Signed
2011 Analysis: Nick Mangold was the MVP of the offense, and we all saw it in his absence. Once he went down with his ankle injury, the line collapsed in on itself. With no sufficient backup to him since Turner was already injured, the line crumbled. Buttresses were schemed to the center, and the Tackles were left to their own devices … and the roof came down around the Jets heads. Mangold came back early, and it was obvious he was still working through the effects of his injury. But once he was back, the unit markedly improved. The Jets were foolish to roll the dice with as little experienced backup on the line as they did in 2011, they paid the price, and the hope is they've now learned from it.
2012 Outlook: I don't think anyone is expecting Mangold to do anything other than he's done every year to this point … which is dominate. What will be crucial though going forward is making sure that the team has sufficient depth.
Random Thought: For years, the Football Outsiders has talked about how lucky the Jets have been (2008, 2009, 2010) to get through a season with basically no major injuries to the line. In that time, the only starter that missed a start (I think) was Damien Woody. Moving forward, the Jets can't afford to get cute considering that their backup lineman are no more than extra blockers when required. Brick and Mangold aren't youngin's anymore … sooner or later, they will be called to start. So the Colin Baxters of the word won't suffice. The Jets have to get serious about their depth … and soon.
Here's to hoping the "coach" stops investing so much in JR and dedicates more time to guiding Shump and Timmy.
Im just excited for the game tonight. So much ridiculous press this team gets. We need to just focus on basketball man and keep winning.
Shump needs to stay aggressive . . . the only times this year he shot more than 10 shots in a game were the two in Texas. I'm not saying he'll score 25+ a night but he can certainly score 15 a game but he's got to get up at least 10 shots. I just want him to play with confidence and all of the rest will come.
Honestly, just the fact that Shump is playing well and he's no longer being involved in trade rumors but instead its JR being listed in trade rumors, has me much more optimistic about this franchise. Timmy has gotten playing time from day one and Shump hasn't had his minutes reduced too much even when he was bad. But the fact that at the beginning of the season he was rumored to be up for a trade while JR was allowed to chuck chuck suck all day and always play 30 plus minutes a game and have his scrub brother on the team, it made me feel like we were heading into the bad old days again (plus we were losing like crazy). Now Murry is getting minutes, Hardaway continues to get minutes, Shump is still starting and starting to flourish and the organization seems to at least be sending a message to JR to shape up or they'll ship him out. Plus his brother is no longer on the team and we have Tyler instead.
So this makes me feel good again. If our GM and Dolan are smart, they will focus the 2015 rebuild around Melo, Shump, Hardaway, Tyler and Murry. Let Amare, Bargnani, JR, Felton, etc…walk. Although if Amare stays healthy I'd be up to give him a veteran minimum to stay with the team since he helped turn this franchise around. And if Chandler wants to resign (and again, stays healthy) I'd look to resign him for less than 10 million. But we gotta keep Shump, Hardaway and Murry or at least develop them and trade them when their value is high and not low. But JR, unless he seriously shapes up, needs to be sent packing. His contract is not that bad. We can get something for him I'm sure.
So I'm happier these days. We're winning some games. Got a long way to go but at least JR is in the doghouse and not Shump.
OH NO! Look what happened to JR after being named Player of the Week. This is like the Madden curse and the SI cover curse.
Tyson out again which sucks, Beno out which is good, more Murry. Heat will be without Battier, Chalmers, and Wade is questionable..
Off-Topic, just a thought. JR Smith trade idea. Moving JR would accomplish a couple things. 1) Gives Hardaway more minutes and 2) Forces Shump to be aggressive and look to score. As we've seen over these last few games, the Knicks seem to go as Shump goes.
Now here's the trade (not sure if the numbers work out) -- JR Smith to Sacramento for Derrick Williams and Jimmer Freddette for JR Smith and Beno Udrih. Here's the rationale. With the arrival of Rudy gay and the impending return of Carl Landry, Williams will be stuck on the bench in Sacramento. The Knicks could use an athletic stretch four to run and gun with Shump and Hardaway. On the Jimmer front, the Garden would immediately fall in love and he could fill the Novak role ... just bang threes and bring the house down. For the Kings, their new owner seems to be the type of guy who is infatuated with talent (J.R.) and he hasn't been hesitant to make moves. Also, the Kings are looking for a backup PG (Andre Miller) and I think Udrih would fill the same need for them. With Felton back, Prigioni returning soon, and Murry showing that he's a competent 3rd PG, I say Beno is expendable.
People thought we wouldnt be able to even have a chance in that lebron free agency and donnie gave us a chance and put us in that position...and we actually had no choice but to.get amare.... and I love that ppl forget that team with amare chandler gallo felt fields was pretty good and I wish we could of just waited to land melo in free agency.....I thought walsh did a great job
@lobcity No one would be happier than me if we win. Listening to these floridians yapping drives me crazy lol.
@joeknix I agree. He has to get more than 5 shots/night. Murry looks for him when they play together.
@joeknix Confidence and proper usage go a long way. He was stuck being purely a spot-up "shooter" for most of the earlier parts of the season, and obviously that didn't work too well as he didn't have the shooting part down. Now some of his shots are starting to fall and he's getting more of a chance to touch the ball and create for others.
I've long said this "coach" did not use him properly and I'm glad to see that it seems as if it's getting remedied a little. While his handle leaves a lot to be desired and he's not a great finisher in traffic (he has a tendency to rush shots), Shump has good court vision and does a good job keeping the ball moving.
I think it also helps to play Shump/Timmy/Toure in some combination as they get after it on defense to create turnovers and then run the floor.
@Kiyan Carter Since last season I believe. 4 Courses is pretty funny..cool stories too.
@Knicks_Fanatic Well to be entirely fair, JR earning that award in the first place was beyond ridiculous. He did nothing to justify it. Shump at least earned the award.
The Kings already have Thorton and McLemore, #2 draft pick, at the SG spot, so they really don't need JR.
@Christopher Sherman The Numbers are about 1 mill off, but with the Ronnie Brewer trade exception that expires soon, it would be really close. (Knicks taking back less than 125%+100k)I am going to be honest here: I think Jimmer is a complete bust and D-League player at best, but if Sacramento will take JR for Derrick Williams, I am down, even if it means taking Jimmer back. Jimmer cant really be a Novak type because he is too small to get his shot off in a corner 3 situation where guys close out a bit quicker. His defense if terrible like Novak though, so I see the comparison. With all that being said, its hard to see a franchise with new ownership wanting to take on 3 years of JR Smith to spoil all of the young'ns along with Cousins and his attitude. Besides, a Knicks trade where they get the 2 youngest players with the least amount of years left to pay out is almost impossible. I like the reasoning behind it though.
@zdiddy4nyk JR is shooting 34% on the year... Shump is shooting 40%. Fail to see your point, teams want JR to shoot all game, every game, because he's been incredibly inefficient and isn't scaring anyone.
@zdiddy4nyk except that hes not been the whole season and does not deserve to be playing 30 min a game and shooting 30%....And i dont need league pass to know that... i swear this is eactly how woodson thinks smgdh... Did i miss something here with some knick fans... from what i see melo is mj and jr smith is kobe..
@ds2488@joeknix Confidence goes a long way...He was not being used only as a spot up shooter. The kid was moping around and upset about trade rumors, dolan declares nobody is getting traded and he magically gets his swagger back little by little. Has nothing to do with usage issue, all mental, all confidence.
@BiggieSmalls @ExpectTheWorst And you talkin about filtering out the dreck! You told me to "go back to Africa with the rest of the animals". You are a hypocrite of the highest order.
@BiggieSmalls @ExpectTheWorst I havent posted in a while been busy with work but I keep the page up at the job and I have seen some real trollish behavior as of late...
Probably 77 seconds in garbage time is my over/under of seeing Tyler and/or Aldrich tonight.
@Christopher Sherman just looked at the trade machine and Derrick Williams cannot be traded in combination with another player, a la Bargnani, because he was recently traded. If they take JR for Williams straight up Mills needs to jump all over that.
@MeloStat301 @ds2488 @joeknix It was a usage issue as well. Shump had one of the lowest usage rates in the league, which means he's not touching the ball at all.
These past few games he's been more involved, being given some chances to run the pick and roll and create for others. He wasn't getting those chances earlier in the year.
@BiggieSmalls Now you're calling me a troll? First an animal now a troll. You are on thin ice dude. You want a troll you will get one.
@BiggieSmalls @Kojo Brown You should have never gotten all racist on me. It was offensive and I don't like being offended.
LOL Dude, Accordingly to you, everybody's got an obsession with you. Are you wearing Calvin Klein under your Helmet?
@BiggieSmalls @Kojo Brown You sir are the obsessive compulsive. Obsessed with Woody and a compulsive blogger along with your Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
@Knicks_Fanatic @Chris @Seth Nadler We'll see Alrdrich for the last defensive possession of the half to prevent our other "bigs" from getting a foul.
@Christopher Sherman@Knicks_Fanatic
I don't think the Nuggets are going to pay Thornton $16 million over the next two years for his 8 ppg and poor shooting.
@Christopher Sherman @therealprof I agree about Cousins maturing this season, but I dont think any team in the league thinks JR will mature under any circumstance, but we shall see.
@therealprof Thanks for the response. I would definitely do JR for Derrick Williams. Hardaway will get more shots anyway the Jimmer thing isn't the end of the world. On JR's/Cousins and Co. front, I think the Kings might see it as an opportunity to help him mature. Cousins isn't all the way there but he's certainly made huge strides in the maturity department. I bet Malone could do the same for JR.

Surprising AL East-leading Yanks visit rival Rays
Among many fill-ins for injured Bombers, Phelps to oppose Hernandez
One year ago on May 22, the roles were reversed: The Rays had a 26-18 record and a 3 1/2-game lead over the Yankees for second place in the American League East. Yet it was the Yanks who ended up taking the division title.
As the two teams prepare to start a three-game series on Friday, the Yankees find themselves in first place with a four-game lead over the fourth-place Rays.
"I think this division, although it's shaken up right now and it's probably not what everybody would have predicted the first day of the season, I think it's going to be pretty similar to what people predict in the end," said Rays third baseman Evan Longoria. "All the teams are going to be closely bunched up. The Red Sox have been scuffling a little bit, but they're going to hang around. They're not going anywhere. Their starting pitching is too good. And the Yankees, when they get healthy, they're already playing tremendous as it is. When they get all of their guys back, it's going to be chaos. And so it will be fun."
The Yankees are set to begin the series without Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez, Kevin Youkilis and Francisco Cervelli, all of whom are on the disabled list.
Yet the Yankees still jumped out to their fourth-best start through 45 games over the last 25 years.
"It doesn't surprise me," Longoria said. "I mean, everybody has come to expect the Yankees to be this lineup of big-name All-Stars that everybody knows their names and you can go one through nine and name all the Yankees in the lineup.
"That doesn't take away from the fact that they have good players on their team, whether or not you know who they are, or if the common person could name them all. They are a team that's playing as a team. They've figured out ways to win. They've been throwing the ball really well. Those are the teams that are really scary.
"Take us in 2008. Nobody knew who we were. But we played really well together as a team and figured out how to win."
One Yankee who has embraced the "next man up" mentality is Friday's starter, 26-year-old righty David Phelps, who has made two straight starts in which he's allowed just one run over at least 6 2/3 innings.
Even more impressive: He's been better out of the rotation. In four starts, opponents are hitting .233 off him, as opposed to .262 when he comes out of the bullpen.
The Rays send Roberto Hernandez to the mound, and he certainly hopes to pitch better than he has against the Yankees, who have knocked him around to a 7.16 ERA over his career.
Hernandez is 2-4 with a 5.24 ERA this season.
Rays: Attendance boost expected
The Rays are averaging just 17,936 fans per home game this season, 28th in the Majors, but they typically draw some of their biggest crowds when the Yankees are in town.
Longoria is hoping that attendance figures start to rise.
"If we continue to play the way we've been playing, it's inevitable," he said. "That's always been our thought process. When you play well, you bring the people out, and you just hope they realize how well you're playing and how important their support is to your success.
"We've talked about it so many times, how our record when the building is full is pretty good. And we do enjoy playing in front of our home fans. Hopefully, it starts to get a little better."
Tampa Bay ranked last in the Majors in 2012, with 19,255 fans per game.
Yankees: Rivera insists he will retire
Through 45 games, 43-year-old Mariano Rivera has 17 saves and is on pace to close out about 61, which would put him within reach of the all-time record, held by Francisco Rodriguez, who saved 62 with the Angels in 2008.
But despite his recent dominance, he plans on retiring after the season.
"I feel good," Rivera said. "Just going out there day in and day out, giving my best, everything that I have. I always feel confidence, always, no matter what the situation is. I always have confidence in my teammates, confidence in myself, and the rest keeps moving."
Despite the heavy workload, Rivera feels healthy.
"Definitely, you're pitching more, so the sharpness is going to be there, but at the same time, you're pitching more, so it's a lot of wear and tear," he said. "As long as you stay healthy and do what you have to do to be ready to perform at that time and the way that we're going, you don't think about it. You just have to continue."
Worth noting
• Veteran Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte (strained left trapezius) will play catch on Thursday in Tampa, Fla., and would then progress to long-tossing. On the disabled list retroactive to May 17, he would need to throw a bullpen session and a simulated game before returning.
• Teixeira (right wrist) and Youkilis (sprained lumbar) each had six at-bats in simulated action on Wednesday in Tampa.
• Matt Joyce, who left Tuesday's game with tightness in his right hamstring, expects to be back in the lineup on Friday.
• Alex Cobb swapped spots in the Rays' rotation with rookie Jake Odorizzi. Cobb will now start the final game of the Yankees series, on Sunday.
