I would expect benchmarks to match typical usage, if PyPy can't run in a couple of GB then choose a better language.
- Nelson69 7y agoCompiling pypy is memory intensive, I don't believe it can be done in 2GB which is where most of the really affordable ARM devices seem to cap out.
- rjsw 7y agoYou can build OpenJDK with the Hotspot JIT on a 2GB ARM64 system.
- comex 7y agoBut why do you have to compile PyPy on the same machine you’re testing it on?
- gok 7y agoWell cross-compiling (aka "cross translation) is made complicated because PyPy doesn't use a normal toolchain, but that's not the problem here. The PyPy benchmark suite itself takes that much memory to run.
