 raitobezarius | But a lot of code was in suboptimal state to have a realistic cluster AFAIK | 15:49:13 |
| raitobezarius | I am still interested to build one | 15:49:20 |
| raitobezarius | But maybe we should define a core set of packages | 15:49:27 |
 Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | The VisionFive2, though having the same cores as the HiFive Unmatched, has come uarch improvements (kinda like a "v2" of the core), making it a bit faster for compilation. But gets severely hindered by half the RAM (8) compared to what you get on the Unmatched (16). | 15:50:25 |
| raitobezarius | I'd not say that RAM is the biggest deal tbf | 15:51:04 |
| raitobezarius | You can eval nixpkgs on a x86 | 15:51:09 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | Not the biggest, but is a pain point tbh | 15:51:19 |
| raitobezarius | For what exactly? | 15:51:28 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | and no PCIe support yet (patches sent, getting merged and might be in 6.10), so can't use swap that "well" | 15:52:32 |
| raitobezarius | Yeah I have seen the PCIe circus | 15:54:22 |
| raitobezarius | That's my biggest annoyance | 15:54:29 |
| raitobezarius | Because NVMe for builders would be very nice | 15:54:43 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
For what exactly? well, fedora packaging might be crazy but something this insane might've been a need

| raitobezarius | I'd be curious which package is this one | 15:55:36 |
| raitobezarius | I wonder if this is not just a spec for speed reason rather than actual requirement, e.g. chromium linkage | 15:55:56 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
Because NVMe for builders would be very nice highly agree, but no idea how nice
AFAIK, the U74 is equivalent to A55 (correct me if I'm wrong) and haven't used an NVMe on it yet. On my RK3588, I saw a literal 100% improvement in building a defconfig kernel from the NVMe compared to when the source was on the SD Card

I'd be curious which package is this one I'm not even kidding, I'm too scared to look | 15:57:21 |

| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | the halving was surprising for me though, I knew it would be better, but didn't know that it would be by this much! | 15:58:11 |
 Steven Keuchel | is that with system or user mode emulation? | 17:08:58 |
 Alex | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
I'd not say that RAM is the biggest deal tbf It is necessary for certain packages.
(e.g. the Zig compiler, unless that's now been updated to a less memory-intensive version?) | 17:14:20 |

It is necessary for certain packages.
(e.g. the Zig compiler, unless that's now been updated to a less memory-intensive version?) how much RAM the Zig compiler take in your experience? | 17:17:03 |

| 17:16:32 |
| raitobezarius | just to have a rough idea | 17:17:06 |
| KREYREN ⚡️🦀 (TH1520 in Licheepi 4A) | https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2/blob/master/flake.nix#L3 Is this binary cache usable? | 17:19:33 |
| raitobezarius | it'd be interesting to collect that data tbh | 17:17:10 |
 sorear | i feel like "know who runs it" is the bare minimum security-wise for a binary cache | 17:49:02 |
| Alex | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
how much RAM the Zig compiler take in your experience? Last time I tried to build it, it got OoM killed (8 GiB VF2), so I have no idea. | 18:59:11 |
| Alex | IIRC I also tried with a lot of swap (can't remember how much), but it thrashed and still eventually failed. | 19:00:55 |
