Project Details
== Project Details ==
This project aims to test the significance of technologies that exist in '''ARMv7What the project is all about'''  Currently, Fedora only supports armv5tel hardware. With the introduction of armv7 architecture , Fedora-ARM is planning to upgrade its Fedora Universe. While it seems logical, re-compiling the whole Fedora package is a strenuous task; therefore before deciding to recompile, Fedora-ARM needs to make sure if the technologies provided by conducting different benchmark techniques and compiler optimisationarmv7 architecture proves significant performance difference against the currently used armv5tel architecture.  This project covers performance comparison between '''ARMv5''' aims for that sole purpose. By running a benchmark and '''ARMv7'''. Results can help the compiler optimizations, Fedora-ARM community can contrast both technologies and use the results to decide on how if it's really worth to go about with recompile the compilation whole Fedora Universe to use armv7 architecture. Below is a list of the fedora universe on ARMv7 devicestechnologies by armv7.
'''ARMv7''' Technologies:
There are currently 2 '''ARMv7''' (beagleboard & beagleboard XM) builders in the Fedora ARM farm. These builders are running builds on '''ARMv5tel''' architecture which means optimum performance is not achieved.This project will focus in using the beagleboardXM builder <code>cdot-beagleXM-0-3</code>
===Specifications for the cdot-beagleboardXM-0-3 builder===
