ACK. |
| 19 |
it's surely in our mind to provide as much information as we can. I'm also |
| 20 |
planning on a second dedicated machine, which has a Pentium 4 with |
| 21 |
HT-technology to provide the SMP-part of the merge-times. In the future, |
| 22 |
if all is running and the response of the users is good enough, we hope |
| 23 |
that we can also provide the merge-times for other architectures than |
| 24 |
x86. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
By the way, as long as we dont have a second machine with smp-support, it |
| 27 |
should be possibly to get reasonably accurate results if we multiply the |
| 28 |
number of cpus and then divide through a factor like 1.2. You can test |
| 29 |
it, it should be reasonably accurate. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
But as I said, we are planning on a second machine with smp and also on |
| 32 |
merge-time information for other architectures. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
(please overlook my horrible grammars) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Yours sincerely, |
