What’s New in openEuler 24.03 LTS SP4
Virtualization Updates
To reduce virtualization overhead and increase VM performance, SP4 introduces optimizations for Arm’s Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC) and virtual time (vTimer) passthrough.
SP4 enables GICv4.1 to enhance VM performance for VMs that routinely migrate between cores within the same affinity group (e.g., vCPU scheduling within an affinity group).
Designed for Arm-based systems using GICv4.1, vTimer passthrough allows virtual timer interrupts to be delivered with fewer VM exits and entries, reducing virtual timer interrupt-injection latency.
Conclusion
You can download openEuler 24.03 LTS SP4 from the openEuler website for your specific architecture and use case. SP4 supports AArch64, LoongArch, and x86_64 architectures and offers Server, Edge Cloud, and Cloud Computing.
With these new features and upgrades, openEuler 24.03 LTS SP4 offers a powerful OS whether you are working on a server or in the cloud. For more information about SP4, see the openEuler Release Notes.
