<Danct12[m]> <jojo_autoboy[m]> "it's kinda weird how the 8937 is..." <- it's actually big.little, sort of lol
<jojo_autoboy[m]> hmmm
<Danct12[m]> one is clocked higher than the other, and it's they're clustered
<jojo_autoboy[m]> how exactly
<jojo_autoboy[m]> cursed
<jojo_autoboy[m]> so i guess it can suffer from the same interconnect issues?
<Danct12[m]> s/it's//
<Danct12[m]> jojo_autoboy[m]: maybe
<jojo_autoboy[m]> ive seen this for a few other qcoms
<Danct12[m]> OH
<jojo_autoboy[m]> i know the 8956 and i assume the 8939 too
<Danct12[m]> i guess this is why we need the interconnect driver to work
<jojo_autoboy[m]> probably
<Danct12[m]> i already have a interconnect driver
<Danct12[m]> the issue now is that if i load it i get blue screen 🙃
<jojo_autoboy[m]> run a benchmark
<Danct12[m]> i have yet to enable cpu freq on my kernel
<Danct12[m]> 2spooky4me
<jojo_autoboy[m]> rip
<Danct12[m]> does cpufreq works on qcom without it's own driver
<Danct12[m]> as in just PSCI is enough
<jojo_autoboy[m]> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<jojo_autoboy[m]> does this even have psci
<Danct12[m]> it does
<jojo_autoboy[m]> oh ok
<Daanct12> /buffer 46
<hacker420[m]> <jojo_autoboy[m]> "image.png" <- hm
<hacker420[m]> So maybe reducing the CPU count to 4 in DTS could speed it up?
<hacker420[m]> oh lol it flies at least on the bare kernel
<hacker420[m]> yeah it's WAY faster
<hacker420[m]> think disabling the 4 cores on 8937 at least until it's properly set up is the way to go
<hacker420[m]> for now
<hacker420[m]> even phosh is somewhat more usable
<hacker420[m]> 🤔
<hacker420[m]> score is the same if not even lower
<hacker420[m]> a bit
<hacker420[m]> granted the benchmark is from 2011
<hacker420[m]> so ehhh
<hacker420[m]> and I doubt geekbench would run on musl
<travmurav[m]> hacker420[m]: I'm afraid you have missed by 40 years
<hacker420[m]> yes
<hacker420[m]> the problem is I don'
<hacker420[m]> * I don't think there is any other sane CPU bench for alpine
<travmurav[m]> I think drhy/whet can mostly live in local cache and doesn't need much ram/icc so its's pretty limited
<hacker420[m]> hmm
<hacker420[m]> phoronix test suite...
<travmurav[m]> I guess ~800 then is just what an a53 cluster can do at 1G
<Daanct12> ok
<Daanct12> time to come back to msm8937 mainline
<Daanct12> brrr
<Danct12[m]> what did i miss
<hacker420[m]> <Danct12[m]> "what did i miss" <- limiting 8937 to 4 cores makes it faster
<Danct12[m]> nice
<Danct12[m]> anything else
<hacker420[m]> don't think so
<hacker420[m]> <travmurav[m]> "I guess ~800 then is just what..." <- hm?
<hacker420[m]> I have 2.8GB available now
<Danct12[m]> nice overclock
<hacker420[m]> ah
<hacker420[m]> now I understand
<hacker420[m]> lmao
<hacker420[m]> I thought he was talking about ram not cpu frequency
<hacker420[m]> actually does it show cpu frequency in the current state?
<Danct12[m]> force updated msm89x7/6.6, there is no change other than editing commit message
<Danct12[m]> hacker420[m]: im sure clock doesnt even work yet lol
<Danct12[m]> Danct12[m]: new commits and fun things happens in msm89x7/6.6-experimental
<Danct12[m]> s/experimental/develop/
<hacker420[m]> <Danct12[m]> "new commits and fun things..." <- where is it
<hacker420[m]> or did you not push it yet
<Danct12[m]> hacker420[m]: i didnt push it yet
<hacker420[m]> ah
<hacker420[m]> what is in these new commits
<Danct12[m]> nothing other than trouble
<Danct12[m]> =]
Daanct12 has quit [Quit: WeeChat 4.1.1]
<hacker420[m]> <Danct12[m]> "nothing other than trouble" <- fun
<Danct12[m]> we grew up in the fun house
<hacker420[m]> danct spill the beans, what's in that branch
