Ubuntu12.04 breakthrough in improving ARM Performance

What is "breakthrough "? In Chinese, "breakthrough" refers to a concentrated attack to open a gap. We asked: What is the breakthrough in improving Ubuntu's ARM performance? In February 4, in the article "Ubuntu ant army Strives to move towards a smart desktop", we pointed out that Ubuntu's HUD is a "breakthrough" and is currently in the decisive battle.

What is "breakthrough "? In Chinese, "breakthrough" refers to a concentrated attack to open a gap. We asked: What is the breakthrough in improving Ubuntu's ARM performance?

In February 4, in the article "Ubuntu ant army Strives to move towards a smart desktop", we pointed out that Ubuntu's HUD is a "breakthrough" and is currently in the decisive battle. However, Ubuntu's system performance that supports ARM processors is also a "mark" and must be won. As you know, Ubuntu has been suffering from ARM processors for a long time, but it cannot be solved. The ARM processor can be "Frequency-controlled", sometimes fast or sometimes slow. How can the operating system adapt? What's more, we need to optimize it? This makes it better than Ubuntu to come to the Inner Mongolia grassland in China to learn horse riding. What should I do if ARM does not work with this wild horse?

If the attack persists for a long time, you must be brave. In February 3, the nerd Phoronix Lab (note: "nerd" only talks about data facts, which is too rigid and the name of the LAB). It was confirmed by physical experiments that, an experimental report entitled "Ubuntu 12.04 ARM Performance Becomes Very Compelling" is presented ". I was surprised to read the report because, for a long time, people have never seen the nerd lab say "Very Compelling" ("Very amazing"). This time is not a nerd crazy? None.

According to the test rules of Phoronix lab, tests are carried out in 16 aspects, all of which have certain testing tools and standards. What are the results? In fact, the ARM processor uses the Cortex-A9 (dual-core) of deyi (TI), the processor clock frequency is controlled to change between MHz to GHz, in this case, the so-called "ARM performance" of Ubuntu12.04 has been significantly improved compared with Ubuntu 11.10. All 16 test indicators have been improved (or decreased) by 50%, which is a substantial breakthrough.

Now, with the ARM processor, Ubuntu has learned how to handle this horse and go to the smart phone market. Who can resist it? ARM processors have low power consumption, and high performance will undoubtedly show up. Ubuntu has two unique features: HUD, ARM (out of stock with Ubuntu12.04), OEM, and naturally "awesome". Needless to say.

In February 3, foreign media published a report entitled "Smart phones overtake client PCs in 2011". The title is "Vendors shipped 488 million smart phones in 2011, compared to 415 million client PCs ". The so-called "terminal PC" ("Client PCs") refers to desktop and tablet computers. 0.5 billion smartphones are shipped each year, which is not a small number. Ubuntu 12.04 wants to make a fortune? None. Ubuntu 12.04 is absolutely free. It is a gift for humans. It is exquisite and well-behaved. Who doesn't like it? I'm going to bring back a Ubuntu smartphone from abroad by ghost. I definitely don't need apple or Google's smartphones. It's cool!

Note: The title of Ubuntu "ant army" is not a derogatory term for me, but the opposite. It has been more than a year since I have raised a nest of ant financial (placed in the "Yantai container") for sun and sun. I often watch the "actions" of these little guys in the nest, and deeply admire the collective spirit of unity, collaboration and tenacious fighting!
