I keep hoping the 64-bit versions will get faster, but I'm not so sure any more. Well it's got 1Gb of RAM and is a constrained platform, it's not really around the "64 bit versions" but rather the hardware, it's constrained and not really aimed at 64 bit, you basically just lose RAM etc due to the 64 bit for no material gain (you'd need over ~4gb RAM for that) > Mostly I wanted to do some ARM8 assembler to learn the architecture and test some algorithms that I hoped would leverage ARM8's architecture to improve performance. The excursions into 64-bit SUSE and Fedora are educational diversions, as I try to find a 64-bit version that is stable and performs reasonably well as an OS platform for my testing. So far, I've spent more time on my diversions than on my algorithms. :-) So I'd run a minimal install without a GUI and then ssh into it. Fedora on aarch64 performs pretty well in a number of use cases but it's a $35 piece of HW... basically you get what you pay for. Either way this is _WAY_ off topic of this thead _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to arm-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
