# Goals
The purpose of this SIG is to quantify the potential benefits of applying existing compiler technology to distribution packages, targeting more recent CPUs, and evaluating different options for how these optimizations can be maintained in a scalable way, and delivered to end users.
Would this work fit under the charter of the existing (and largely dormant) Alternative Architectures SIG?
<snip> The "AltArch SIG" was just created initially to bootstrap other architectures for CentOS 7, in comparison with i{3,6}86, x86_64 that we were only building/providing in the past. Once it was bootstrapped, it was back to Core SIG rebuilding in parallel packages for all these architectures but the altarch sig per se doesn't exist anymore ? (imho)
Other than for CentOS-7, where I still build and release packages for teh alternative arches, I would agree.
