Re: qemu, aarch64, binfmt: can the execution speed be improved?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Here is some data.
I compiled the driver from the repo at https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au

x86_64 (the host with cpu=i5-8500): 43s `make -j4`
arm7h (qemu/systemd-nspawn): 33m `make`
arm7h (qemu/systemd-nspawn): 7m44s `make -j4`
arm7h (qemu/systemd-nspawn): 2m47s `make -j4 CC=distcc CXX=distcc`
arm7h (rpi3b, native): 23m `make`
arm7h (rpi3b, native): 8m40s `make -j4`
