Development release v6.11/02

Dear users,

the 6.12 production release will have an incredible amount of new features. In order to start exposing those to you, we decided to create a development release: https://root.cern.ch/content/release-61102

Some highlights:

  • Even more endemic parallelism - Among the many things, a parallelised hadd (hadd -j) and a parallel enabled prompt: just try it root -t!
  • An enhanced TDataFrame. Now it’s possible to cache datasets in memory, to create readers for any data format (not just ROOT) thanks to the new TDataSource interface, much faster type inference via an improved jitting, a plethora of new options for saving datasets on disk.
  • The LZ4 compression algorithm can be now used for faster reading and writing.
  • Writing files in parallel with TBufferMerger has become much faster and scalable.

Thanks to the many contributors who made this release a success with their suggestions, patches, bug reports, fixes and pull requests.

Danilo,
for the ROOT team

This is Kubuntu 14.04.5 LTS / x86_64 with gcc 4.8.4 (so, running KDE desktop, if that matters) here.
I tried your newest Ubuntu 14 gcc4.8 binary release and it crashes as soon as I try to run it:

[...] $ /opt/ROOT/releases/root_v6.11.02/bin/root.exe

This is the second public Ubuntu 14 gcc4.8 binary release which is severely broken (older binary releases were fine). Please talk to the one who is responsible for the creation of your Ubuntu 14 gcc4.8 binary releases.

Dear Wile,

thanks for your quick feedback.
We are working on this problem.

Best,
Danilo

It’s due to us building binaries requiring SSE 4.2. We are discussing whether we should keep it that way.

This topic was automatically closed 14 days after the last reply. New replies are no longer allowed.

Reporting the result also here: our binaries will not require any SSE / AVX from hereon. Thanks for the heads up and the discussion, Wile E!

The first new binaries which enforce this rule are: Release 6.10/08 - 2017-10-16
