The in-development GCC 14 compiler has added support for the MIPS16e2 processor ISA.
MIPS16e2 is an extension of the MIPS16e instruction set and compatible with the MIPS32 and MIPS64 instruction sets. The MIPS16e2 ASE adds eight general purpose registers and several special purpose registers and defines new instructions for helping to increase code density.
The GCC Steering Committee has now adopted a Code of Conduct "CoC" for this open-source compiler project. Passionate compiler developers and other GCC stakeholders are encouraged to remind themselves to be civil in their discussions and follow other recommendations to foster their community.

After nearly seven years of service, thousands of user projects, and tens of billions of compute hours, the Cori supercomputer at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) will be retired at the end of May. With its first cabinets installed in 2015 and the system fully deployed by 2016, Cori has been in service longer than any supercomputer in NERSC’s 49-year history and enabled more than 10,000 scientific publications.
