Ho un #bananapi 1 con un server #syncthing, oggi ho provato ad usarlo anche come media server con #minidlna e... niente c'è un sacco di buffering e non è usabile, secondo me il collo di bottiglia è il bus usb (si ho un HD usb dove ho la mia libreria multimediale) che non regge il flusso streaming anche se effettivamente la cpu ormai non è un granchè ma con htop non sembra avere reali problemi. Peccato

#BananaPi-F3 So even when doing multiple single-threaded independent xz processes in the background, repeated timings show that often (not always) 6/8 are within 1-2% of each other, one about 3-4% slower and one outlier which can be up to 40% slower. It's almost like there's a core or two acting differently (cache invalidation? Linux 6.1 kernel-related?) There is a background load of ~2 on the system, but no process using notable amounts of CPU.
The K1 is a dual-cluster quad core configuration.

New #BananaPi-F3 #RISCV board is in my hands; (second attempt after the first got stuck in customs) 😁
Using an 8 core SpacemiT K1 with X60 cores apparently clocked at 1.6GHz - slightly less than the LucheePi/LM4A's 1.86GHz - but has RVA22 / RV64GCVB 😀 Needs a 12V supply although that can be over USB-C. Only 4Gb RAM though.
Initial tests with gcc suggest 5-10% slower using 4 cores than the LM4A so they might each be a bit slower, but I'll see how much quicker when using all 8. Tested on SD card
