LPIA builds - jbernardo - 2009-11-25 Any reason why the PPA doesn't have LPIA builds? Now so many of us have ION machines, a LPIA build would be welcome. 10% less power spent is still 10%. - Evanrich - 2009-11-25 jbernardo Wrote:any reason why the ppa doesn't have lpia builds?

Edit: nevermind: lpia stands for "low-power on Intel architecture" from http://lwn.net/Articles/247003/ if i knew enough about linux, I'd try to compile my own kernel, stripped of every useless driver it had in it, leaving only requirements for ion / atom platform to run...this would yield the fastest system yet. - jbernardo - 2009-11-25 Low Power on Intel Architecture - according to some benchmarks, gives you 10% less power spenditure at the same speed. The code still runs on a i386, but when built with LPIA specific switches has a different execution order and uses a different set of instructions. - jbernardo - 2009-11-25 Evanrich Wrote:if i knew enough about linux, I'd try to compile my own kernel, stripped of every useless driver it had in it, leaving only requirements for ion / atom platform to run...this would yield the fastest system yet. No, that would give you a faster boot. I used to do that for my aspire one, and might do it again, just because ubuntu doesn't build Memory Stick support. Removing the non-intel non-atom drivers usually cut the boot times in half, but didn't show a performance improvement, as the unused modules aren't wasting any cycles. - theuni - 2009-11-25 Bad timing for that I'm afraid: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2009-November/000643.html TheUni - jbernardo - 2009-11-25 Ok, time to switch dists. I was growing more and more frustrated with kubuntu, this might be the final drop for me. After a supposed focus on netbooks, removing one of the main advantages ubuntu had there seems a dumb idea. Anyone know which dists have a LPIA arch? - seal - 2009-12-06 Hi, Ubuntu have this architecture: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/9.10/release/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-lpia.iso i will try in next few days - jbernardo - 2009-12-06 seal Wrote:Hi, Ubuntu have this architecture: Read the thread from the beggining - Ubuntu abandonned this architecture, and there aren't XBMC packages for it. |
