One of the areas I've been meaning to run more benchmarks on this season has been for the recently released Clang 21 compiler. Back in September when LLVM Clang 21 was debuting I ran some initial benchmarks and found it to deliver some nice performance gains on AMD EPYC Zen 5 but then have been busy with other benchmarks/articles for expanding that testing. Recently with having some spare cycles and gratis access still to the Microsoft Azure HBv5 instance for AMD EPYC Zen 4 with HBM3, I ran some Clang 20 vs. Clang 21 performance benchmarks there for those wondering about any performance benefits of this new compiler release on Zen 4.

Afin d'accélérer la décarbonation de nos déplacements et faciliter le report modal, l'État français dispose d'un point d'accès national (le PAN) qui centralise toutes les données de transport et les mets à disposition d'un écosystème riche et diversifié de réutilisateurs, dont les grands calculateurs d’itinéraires.

Découvrez avec Maxime Siret, son responsable :

  • l'histoire et le fonctionnement du PAN
  • ce que sont les startups d'état incubées à la Direction interministérielle du numérique (DINUM) et leurs fonctionnements
  • l'environnement dans lequel le PAN évolue
  • qui sont les producteurs et réutilisateurs des données
  • comment le PAN facilite le dialogue entre les acteurs
  • la mesure de l'impact du PAN
  • les défis à venir

Bonne écoute.
