Dear all,

over the weekend, i did some tests with NaviServer on the intel galileo board which based on the Intel Quark SoC X1000 (400 MHz), announced last year. The same processor is used well in the Intel Edison designed for wearable devices, see e.g. [1]. The Galileo board combines an x86 architecture with Arduino compliance.

Building NaviServer for the Galileo was more tricky since one has essentially to cross-compile using the yocto tool chain. The good news is that cross-compiling worked nicely when starting from the tar file. The measured performance is about half the speed of raspberry, but for clicking around it feels quite zippy.

Dear Friends,

I did some tests with NaviServer on the raspberry pi (see picture below), which are quite promising. (The raspberry pi is a " credit-card-sized" single-board computer with a ARMv6-compatible processor, costing less than 40 euro at amazon).

NaviServer (and Tcl 8.5.15) compiles out of the box (libnsd is 1.9 MB) on 2014-01-07-wheezy-raspbian and runs quite well on the pi as the following test show. All tests were executed with "ab -n 1000 -c 10 http://......" where "ab" was executed on my notebook. In test "WLAN", the notebook connected via WLAN to the raspberry pi, in test LAN, both were on the same LAN. For all tests, I've used the unmodified default configuration nsd-config.tcl.
               WLAN      LAN
timer2.adp:   214.56    216.22
mini.html:    286.13    294.53
5k.html:      245.29    236.09

The reported values are "reqs/sec". One can certainly question the usefulness of the number that "ab" returns (which are not  very stable) but overall this tiny machine feels quite fast, when clicking around....

all the best
