popeyCompiling MAME on a RPi 2 takes a "long time"12:15
* popey tries on Pi312:17
m6lpipopey: you're mad..14:21
popeywat14:24
m6lpiMAME compile on a Pi314:28
penguin42popey: You want to find one of these guys; http://b2b.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5460#ov14:29
penguin42popey: 384 64bit ARM cores in 2U14:29
m6lpipenguin42: will it run Dom II ?14:30
* penguin42 shrugs14:31
popeynice14:38
popeymy mame build died after 815 minutes15:28
popey[1990100.838852] Out of memory: Kill process 22781 (ld) score 868 or sacrifice child15:28
popeyduring linking15:28
penguin42yeh, no useful amount of RAM15:30
* popey adds a touch of swap15:31
diddledanteehee: https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/71921876778866688017:42
diddledanI'm glad he can still find humour17:44
popeyhm, building mame (again, with swap) on pi2 and pi3 together, the pi3 isn't exacly massively outperforming the pi217:52
zmoylan-piram a bottle neck for mame?17:53
penguin42popey: Why would it?17:53
popeyi thought the 3 was supposed to be a bit quicker17:53
diddledanpopey: maybe that's due to swapping?17:54
popeyits not swapping17:54
diddledanfair enough17:54
diddledanin that case then I'm as surprised17:54
popeyit needs more ram, but I cant add that17:54
diddledanI heard it's like 30-40% faster than the 217:54
popeythe ram is only needed when it gets to linking17:54
penguin42popey: It is clocked a little faster; but the Pi3 is still running in 32 bit mode which is a bit of a shame17:54
popeytrue17:55
diddledangood point17:55
diddledanmaybe when we start seeing full-64bit toolchains it'll improve compilation speed17:55
popeyfriend of mine has a scaleway arm box17:55
popeybut they've run out, no more left17:55
diddledan:-(17:55
penguin42popey: oh, damn I had a plan for one of those17:56
diddledanyeah I don't think they were prepared for the demand they received17:56
popeyyeah17:56
diddledangreat idea though17:56
popeyi think an arm chromebook might be worth a look17:56
popeyespecially the samsung 2 which has 4GB RAM17:56
diddledanapart from the different formfactor of their custom design, and that they don't have physical storage with the individual boards, it's like a datacentre of pis17:57
popeyI'm sshe'd into a friends' scaleway box17:57
penguin42popey: datacentred.co.uk were doing ARM cloud by the hour as well but it seems to have dropped off their pricing page17:57
popey[    0.000000] Machine model: Scaleway - C1 Computing17:58
popeyheh17:58
diddledanscaleway are doing x86 board now :-(17:58
diddledanref: https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/17:59
popeyyeah, i got an invite, and clicked the "start your first server" then got "Temporary out of stock"18:00
* penguin42 has this nutty idea to try building a CEPH cluster among 3 dirt cheap cloud providers for the heck of it18:00
diddledando you have any plan for using it, or just gonna build it "because"?18:01
diddledanboth perfectly fine choices - don't feel I'm belittling either of them18:02
penguin42diddledan: Well the extended nutty plan is to figure out how to back smtp/imap onto a system like that and then have a properly resilient mail server18:02
diddledanoooh18:02
diddledanfunky18:02
penguin42diddledan: Beware that it may be more nutty than a walnut whip, and I've not really thought about any detail18:02
diddledan\o/18:03
diddledanthe best projects are the random ones18:03
penguin42it's also queued behind two other projects I'm not getting very far on18:03
diddledanI've got a few plans that are still to take form18:05
diddledanalso**18:05
popeyLinking mame...21:44
popey\o/21:44
diddledanready for it to OOM21:46
