I haven’t compiled a Linux kernel in decades — how do those cluster compile times compare to something like an Intel i7-11k? They sound slow.

- daveguy 3y agoA Ryzen 9 7950X compiles 5.18 in less than 40 seconds[0], so yes. 60 minutes per module or 15 minutes with 7 modules is very slow. I think these risc blade architectures are interesting from a home-lab perspective -- low-cost complex-architecture playgrounds.

- camel-cdr 3y agoOr 400 seconds with a allmodconf build, idk what they build in the OP. If they build allmodconf and I understood the benchmarks correctly, then one C910 core is about 4 times slower in building the Linux kernel than a single Ryzen 5 5600x core (60/(1491/6*4/60)). That would be pretty good wouldn't it? Probably to good to be true, but I don't think we can just compare these two numbers directly anyways.
- brucehoult 3y ago> if ... then one C910 core is about 4 times slower ... than a single Ryzen 5 5600x core 4x is the number I work with to approximate C910 vs current x86. Which makes 64 core Milk-V Pioneer possibly comparable to a 16 core 7950x, but at $2k ready to use it's a lot cheaper than 7950x boxes I see on Amazon. If your workload can keep 64 cores busy, of course. Many can't.
