FYI - For those interested in bootup time improvements on MIPS processors, here is some information about the recently developed MIPS prelinking feature, done by CodeSourcery and MIPS Technologies. http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS6220941326.html This press release does not mention CELF, but it should be noted that the first public demonstration of this technology was performed (I believe) at the recent CELF technical jamboree, in Tokyo Japan, held just last Friday (Oct 27). See http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/JapanTechnicalJamboree11 for information about the jamboree. The presentation about this technology which was delivered at the meeting is at: http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/JapanTechnicalJamboree11?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=MIPS-Prelinker.pdf MIPS and CodeSourcery brought a demo so we got to do some actual speed comparisons live at the event. It was fun! Regards, -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Electronics =============================
