| 17:14 | rabeeh> | i was wondering what are Debian arm64 build machines are nowadays |
| 17:15 | rabeeh> | suijkulokki: do you know? i looked at https://buildd.debian.org/ but can't find the machines that are building arm64 |
| 17:15 | rabeeh> | this is re: lx2160a based machines for community |
| 17:15 | rabeeh> | agraf? |
| 17:16 | agraf> | rabeeh: yes? |
| 17:17 | rabeeh> | i was wondering if you know the current Debian arm64 builders machines |
| 17:17 | agraf> | unfortunately not, no :) |
| 17:17 | rabeeh> | for suse then? :) |
| 17:17 | agraf> | a variety, mostly TX2 and Hi1616 IIRC |
| 17:18 | rabeeh> | we starting pushing some lx2160a machines out there; i was wondering if donating those machines as distro builders will assist |
| 17:18 | rabeeh> | TX2 should be a monster |
| 17:19 | rabeeh> | same the Hi1616 |
| 17:51 | jnettlet> | rabeeh: I know that Fedora and CentOS are interested. They are currently using old Moonshot hardware |
| 17:52 | rabeeh> | jnettlet: can you please offer for them? each one machine |
| 17:52 | rabeeh> | Moonshot --> the TI based machinery? |
| 17:52 | rabeeh> | or AMC? |
| 17:53 | jnettlet> | It was HP |
| 17:53 | jnettlet> | let me check real quick |
| 17:54 | rabeeh> | the SoCs they used; they started with TI; which as i recall cortex A15 based? (32bit); then moved to AMC or that company with the built-in fabric? (cortex-a9 based) |
| 17:55 | jnettlet> | X-Gene |
| 17:55 | jnettlet> | I believe they have some ThunderX2 99xx as well |
| 17:56 | jnettlet> | rabeeh: the X-Gene are the old version of what is now the Ampere SOCs |
| 17:58 | jnettlet> | For those interested here are some multi-threaded compute benchmarks comparing x86_64 for the LX2160a. https://openbenchmarking.org/result/1909167-JONA-190709818&obr_sor=y&obr_hgv=HoneyComb+LX2K |
| 17:59 | jnettlet> | things stack up quite nicely if you do a rough baseclock * threads, and they look even better if you measure how much power is consumed |
| 18:18 | rabeeh> | jnettlet: TX2 should be fast (they had some recent patches that seriously slowed down their fabric) |
| 18:23 | jnettlet> | rabeeh: was that the migrate pages regression from earlier in the year? |
| 21:24 | Bluerise> | rabeeh: glad to see that you're pushing out cool and powerful mini itx machines :) |
| 21:24 | Bluerise> | rabeeh: I hope you also provide an I/O shield ;) |
| 21:25 | Bluerise> | my macchiatobin doesn't have one... |
| 21:25 | Bluerise> | and my hummingboard pulse also doesn't have a case |
