great!
Awesome, great demo!
but can it run BSD?
You could say it CAN be, given enough developers with an interest getting it to run that fast, and removing anything you don’t need of course.
Oh i forgot:
Can windowze be free free as in speech, and as in beer?
Nope, NEVER!
Yes, it can:
Google yes-linux-can-run-crysis
BTW, can windowze power the Top10 supercomputers? NO IT CAN’T!! LOL
Google Top500
That’s awesome! I guess the idea of using a Linux SBC to create a custom car stereo is feasible after all!
Very impressive.
schnellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
But can it run Crysis?
Crazt fast!
Didn’t know Linux were that fast…
The final timings were:
Reset -> XLoader/UBoot handover – 0.234s
XLoader/UBoot handover -> UBoot/Kernel handover – 0.053s
UBoot/Kernel handover -> Init Process – 0.177s
Init Process -> Video On Display – 0.406s
Impressive!
