They’re still under the same baseline SoC constraints (plus the USB bus). Biggest constraint for me is the lack of RAM, though. R. > On 5 Apr 2018, at 23:13, hiro <23h...@gmail.com> wrote: > > "The Python performance with this new Raspberry Pi 3 is now in line > with the Pine A64. > While the

"The Python performance with this new Raspberry Pi 3 is now in line with the Pine A64. While the PHP performance is between the Pine A64 and ODROID-C2" from this test it sounds they didn't care much about typical scientific supercomputing... and their udp throughput test is slower than the tcp

hi, great work richard, i hope to try this soon. the network performance is the biggest draw for me. do you any feeling why plan9 sees only 200Mbps ether? is it the stack design, how plan9 accesses the hardware? or maybe the 300Mbps quoted is only when using jumbo frames? -Steve On 5 Apr

Updated kernel for the 3B+ is now on sources. Also contains some performance tweaks for ethernet and usb which should apply to all Pi models. Kernel source in /n/sources/contrib/miller/9/bcm USB ether driver in /n/sources/patch/usb-ether-lan78xx Compiled kernels in /n/sources/contrib/miller/9pi2

> But what is the > rationale for the lock in the second loop? Sorry for the confusing code. The startlocks are locked by cpu0 before booting the secondary cores. Each core unlocks its own startlock when it starts. Cpu0 blocks on each startlock waiting for the corresponding core to unlock it,
