What CPU are you using and what is your SBU?

Michele13 · 07-24-2018, 11:23 AM

My CPU is a Intel Celeron N2840 with 4GB of RAM. My SBU (the time used to compile and install binutils) is

real 6m17.613s
user 4m40.960s
sys 0m33.888s

What's yours? I'm curious to know the SBU of a Intel i3-7100u or other i3 systems with low power consumption in mind. I'm thinking to buy a Intel NUC and to SSH into it to build LFS

None of the above. Mine's an Intel Core Duo with 2 GB ram and my SBU is about 6.5 minutes.

None... AMD FX-8350 overclocked to 4.4 GHz.

I get about 1.23 minutes per 1 SBU on "make -j9". Apparently asynchronous threading work really well for building packages.

Intel atom 330; 15 minutes on gcc version 5 extends to 19 minutes on gcc version 7

Also using an intel i3 but haven’t measured that yet, will edit to add time

I never paid attention to what CPU I had until this thread. lol?

Screenfetch reports "Intel Core i5-4200M @ 4x 3.1GHz [59.0*C]"

I built this BLFS system back in christmas of 2017 so I forget the exact SBU, though I *think* it may have been twenty minutes.

That is pretty unlikely, as my 10 years old celeron built binutils in 7 minutes, your CPU can't in any way be worse then mine

My CPU is a Intel Celeron N2840 with 4GB of RAM also, about 8 minutes

I know this is a completely different architecture but I have measured the SBU of a Raspberry Pi Zero W and these are the results.

Wow! You must have the patience of a saint. My first LFS was built on a 32-bit machine with 512 MB and it seemed to take forever. I can't remember the SBU but it must have been about 20 minutes, which is a lot less than yours.

Michele13 · 07-29-2018, 08:04 AM

Just SSH into the Rpi, start a tmux session, start compiling, go for a walk and you'll be fine

Let's just hope it doesn't explode for the workload

It should take about 1 day and 12 hours to compile the temporary tools. I wonder how much would it take to compile Binutils on a Raspberry Pi 3

What is your SBU?

I don't think he runs LFS.

Not got round to doing LFS yet, but out of curiosity tried timing a build (no install) of binutils.

Code:
