The official Low-Cost ARM HWBOT Prime Fun Challenge thread.

[Massman]

Anyone up for a contest?

[Billy-The-Kid]

Probaly i,m in!!

 

I will nake my media center lol (raspberry pi)!

[Saito]

big question , does it work on android?

[Massman]

No(t yet).

 

You'll need Linux distribution for this.

[*kenny*]

Im in, should be fun

[Icemen]

I'm in, too. (with my rapberry)

I don't have hardware like this, but here's a question: Is the ODROID-XU (or similar single-board computers) allowed?

It has 8 cores, but because of the big.LITTLE architecture only the 4 fast A15 cores or the 4 "slow" A7 cores are used.

Alternatives with A15 cores are the Arndale Board and YSE5250.

I think there should be a raspberry pi only stage

[Massman]

We have three stages:

 

1x CPU (single core)-> ideal for Raspberry

2x CPU (dual core)

4x CPU (quad core) -> ODROID-U2

 

I would say the ODROID-XU is not allowed because it has 8 cores, regardless of how many are actually used for the benchmark.

I am in Mack4033 look me up family

 

Thanks

Will my I-7 2600k fit in the rules for this contest?

Thanks

[GENiEBEN]

Will my I-7 2600k fit in the rules for this contest?

Thanks

 

Only ARM devices, so no.

[Buker]

I can't send my report http://hwbot.org/submission/2422240 there is a bug on the ARM only criteria.

[Massman]

Fixed!

 

Very nice score - latest JDK ?

[Buker]

Yes but also some software tweaks. :-)

[Massman]

Cool!

 

It would be nice to see a full guide after the competition is over. ARM needs open source :D

[Luebke]

this challange is a great idea =)

it´s a pity i don´t have a raspberry

maybe i should buy one just for the challange? Ö_Ö

[Massman]

Hoping to see more activity, though

[Luebke]

my mobile-phone has a arm v6 600 mhz cpu, but no overclocking possible

 

maybe you should find a sponsor for prices, than a lot of people may spend the 34,- € for a raspberry to get a chance to win the price

[Massman]

Damn, not too much enthusiasm for ARM I see :(

[d3mox]

Not much enthusiasm because it' based on linux and it' not the same OC

[Luebke]

i guess nearly no one here has such a system and for only one competition no one would buy ist

maybe if there are more competitions with a arm-stage (only one, others for x86-systems) more overclockers would spend the 34 € for a raspberry...?

 

i realy like the idea of including different hardware to the competitions. so it would become more diversified and interesting instead of haswell with titan wins everything

[*kenny*]

Its because there is obviously some sort of software hack/tweak that the guys at the top are using as there is no way to get those sort of scores without it, and if you are not in the know then there is no point in competing, just look at the difference between the top two results and every other arm submission, there is a mile between them, so something is a miss......

[Massman]

Maybe a newer version of Java?

[Aerou]

This competition is great!

 

I love unexplored territory. Plus, these little devices are so cool.

 

I wish I participated earlier. I have ordered an ODROID quite some time ago, but it is still stuck at customs. I won't get my hands on it until after the competition
