I bought a Toshiba CB35-B3340 13.3 Inch Chromebook/4GB RAM for $269. It has a really nice 1920 x 1080 display. Then I installed the SeaBIOS firmware from John Lewis, https://johnlewis.ie/custom-chromebook-firmware/

A replica of this benchmark on my laptop running R has this running in about 1/4 second. Seems like a pretty trivial benchmark? library(data.table) x = data.table(a=sample(10,10e6,replace=TRUE),num=sample(100,10e6,replace=TRUE)) t1=pro

Not only does gcc often produce faster running programs as referenced in the post, it has mature OpenMP support (although llvm/clang is moving pretty fast on OMP development), and has a Fortan compiler. These are important for numerica
