<p4r4D0xum>sneek later tell gnucode could you add to the https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/faq/context_switch/ that it should be built with -pthread -rt options?
<sneek>Got it.
<p4r4D0xum>btw. context switching seems to be faster on 1st gen intel under hurd than on 3th intel under linux
<p4r4D0xum>:D
<p4r4D0xum>texted on real hardware, thank you for your hard work!
<user_oreloznog>gnucode, p4r4D0xum: Good news! Thank you
<p4r4D0xum>user_oreloznog: I just can't say how happy I am that I was able to run hurd on real hardware
<p4r4D0xum>speed difference just shocks me
<user_oreloznog>p4r4D0xum: Yes, I believe it's a piece of dream realized :-) Just an end user of the Free Software here... Hope to become an Hurd's en user
<user_oreloznog>*a Hurd's end user
<damo22> p4r4D0xum are you using APIC or PIC?
<damo22>it may be that PIC has lower latency
<user_oreloznog>damo22: Good afternoon, thank you for your hard work too!
<p4r4D0xum>damo22: To be honest, I have no idea, how to check it?
<damo22>p4r4D0xum: which kernel are you using
<p4r4D0xum>i386 one
<damo22>with uniprocessor
<damo22>or smp
<p4r4D0xum>it's 530M,
<damo22>gnumach-1.8-486-up?
<p4r4D0xum>as far as I know, yes
<damo22>look in /boot
<p4r4D0xum>I didn't tweak anything
<p4r4D0xum>used qemu image and transfered it to a hdd
<damo22>ok
<p4r4D0xum>a momemnt please, just booted the elitebook
<damo22>its probably uniprocessor with pic
<damo22>you could try the same context switch test with smp
<damo22>that would require to download the smp variant of the kernel
<azert>p4r4D0xum: the preconception is that the Hurd is slow with IO, disk and network, do we have benchmarks for that?
<p4r4D0xum>interesting thing just happened
<p4r4D0xum>I have my elitebook connected to a switch, but I've turned it off
<p4r4D0xum>/hurd/netdde started flooding about bogus port
<p4r4D0xum>damo22: I'm using gnumach-1.8-486-up.gz
<azert>p4r4D0xum: there is also an -smp kernel available. You could test that?
