Hi, can you post your lspci plz.

Also, did you run hdparm on your HDD ?

Well I just finished getting my C2Q up and running (I'm using an Intel mobo with the new G45 chipset and it was a pain -- networking doesn't work in the 2008.0-r1 kernel), and am using the native flag. I've done some minimal testing and no issues thus far on running apps compiled on the C2Q with the atom.

Below is how the flags from the Atom compare to the C2Q:
Atom: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts pni monitor ds_cpl est tm2 ssse3 xtpr lahf_lm
C2Q: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts pni monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr sse4_1 lahf_lm
diff: pse36 lm vmx smx cx16 sse4_1

As you can see, all the additional flags are on the C2Q, and they're all relative new. Since I don't believe GCC has any optimizations yet that utilize though flags, native will likely yield close results.

I'm heading camping tomorrow, but will likely make the swap from Xubuntu to Gentoo on my Acer One next week. I don't really plan to compile anything there unless it's a last resort.

Check out this difference:

Same command, two different machines.
Command is "emerge -s mozilla-firefox".

Intel Core2 Duo E6850 @ 3Ghz; 4GB RAM; SATA hard drive
Code:
office ~ # time emerge -s mozilla-firefox

real    0m15.710s
user    0m0.566s
sys     0m0.397s


Intel Atom @ 1.6Ghz; 2GB RAM; Compact flash card
Code:
terra ~ # time emerge -s mozilla-firefox

real    0m2.488s
user    0m2.306s
sys     0m0.155s


Pretty sweet :)

To explain my setup a bit better:

I have the MSI Wind barebones. The main "hard drive" (SDA) is a 16GB compact flash card that hosts the main operating system and is what I'm booting off of. The secondary hard drive (SDB) is a 160GB SATA hard drive used for data storage. I mount some of the temp directories etc. on the hard drive, not to wear out the CF card write cycles while compiling Gentoo.

Here is part of my /etc/fstab:
Code:
/dev/sda1               /               ext2            noatime         0 1
/dev/sdb1               /home/shared    ext3            noatime         0 0

/home/shared/Linux/Terra/log            /var/log        none    bind            0 0
/home/shared/Linux/Terra/portage        /var/tmp/portage        none    bind    0 0
/home/shared/Linux/Terra/distfiles      /usr/portage/distfiles  none    bind    0 0

tmpfs                   /tmp    tmpfs   noatime         0 0


Some information that was requested above:

My CFLAGS are simple:
Code:
CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"


Code:

int2str, you tried out reiser4 with cryptcompress/lzo or just standard reiser4 ?

I believe ext3 might wear out your flash-drive pretty fast

I think it would be a better idea to use use the specialized JFFS2 or LogFS if you're worried about wearing out the drive.

Atom switches off units needed for 64 bit operation when working in 32 bit mode, so if battery time is a concern, it may be better to stick to a build for the x86 arch. Also, memory access is limited by 533MHz FSB, so this low bandwidth does not benefit the amd64 arch.

Edit: it seems the N270 Atom, the one used in laptops, cannot run x86_64 code, anyway...

-O3 sets unroll loops, which will produce code with lengthy, non-looped, instruction sequences. We must consider that an in-order core heavily relies on its L1 and L2 caches to avoid stalled pipelines.

From Intel's site http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/386925.htm, their compiler optimizes code very aggressively by doing out-of-order scheduling of instructions by software (by the compiler), instead of hardware:

Quote:
The new low-power IA does not provide an integrated out-of-order scheduler that schedules instruction dispatch into the execution pipeline to take optimum advantage of the architecture and minimize dependency stalls. The Intel® C++ Compiler models the low-power IA pipeline and execution flow, thus enabling it to produce code with the optimum instruction execution sequence for low-power IA.


As of yet, gcc can't optimize code in this fashion, and it is clear it will be very difficult to do this in an arch independent fashion.
Replacing a just-in-time out-of-order hardware scheduler with an arch indep. out-of-order compiler is no simple task. For one thing, the compiler does not have the live data flow to assist it.

Intel's compiler code only works in their particular hardware alone: "modeling the low-power IA pipeline and exec. flow, thus enabling it to produce code with the optimum instruction execution sequence". And they are talking here about modeling a CISC x86 exec flow!

Hi all,

Just wanted to mention this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5274124.html#5274124

There seems to be a serious issue on those D945GCLF/D945GCLF2 boards.
You should probably not enable automatic fan throtteling (kacpid will hog your cpu).

I'm currently using:
D945GCLF2
RTL 8139 PCI Card

Gentoo Hardened 2008.0 amd64 release
Kernel linux-2.6.25-hardened-r9
GCC x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6

Code:
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
ALSA_CARDS="intel_hda"
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"
VIDEO_CARDS="i810"


I'm still trying out this baby, so I'm still interested if there are better cflags.
It may will replace my home server when I have the time on xmas ;)

Greetings, Maurice

Has someone made benchmarks in the meantime?

Right now I'm using the following for the N270
Code:

CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"

MAKEOPTS="-j3"  #to make use of HT!?


I'm thinking about switching to -march=i586 -mmmx -sse -sse2 -sse3 ...

I'd recompile gcc and check compile times for a specific package before and after. Or is there a better/quicker way to find out which is faster?

The N330 ends up being a different processor...there's no reason to not go 64bit...

CFLAGS="-Os -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64"
MAKEOPTS="-j5"

before that I was using -march=core2

Based on my benchmarks

multi thread compiles (j5)about 1/2 the speed of an athlon64 x2 4200+ (j3)

single thread triangulation (10240 vertices):
- n330 10.88s
- athlon64 x2 4200+: 4.12s
- clovertown 1.6: 2.48s

Yes, they belong to the same family (Diamondville), but the 230 and 330 come with Intel 64. The N270 on the other hand supports enhanced speedstep.

Meanwhile I've done some very basic tests for the N270 with nbench, which seems to run faster with march=prescott -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer than -march=i586 -O2 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -msse3 -fomit-frame-pointer

I've posted the results here, if anyone is interested.

I've got the 330 atom processor as well, and am considering upgrading to gcc 4.3 and recompiling my whole system with the march=native (currently with 32bit march prescott). However, I noticed somehow I've ended up with 486 in my chost, and not 686 (doh!). Looks like a pain in the arse to fix according to the chost changing guide. Is it even worth changing the system to 686, or will upgrading the compiler and flipping to march-native and rebuilding the system be the biggest performance gain?

I recently bought an Asus 1000HE netbook. It comes with an Atom N280 processor. I'm trying to determine what the appropriate CHOST, CFLAGS, etc. are for this. Also, I am strongly considering using a couple machines on my network (C2D E6300 and C2Q Q6600) to assist with large compiles using distcc and crossdev. Has anyone done this in a similar manner? What target would I choose for building my crossdev tools? i586, i686, or something else?

I do similar to what you are suggesting.

i686 crossdev setup is fine as my q6600 is running x86_64

If your q6600 and the other are just x86 (i686) you wont need crossdev just setup distcc as you need.

One thing to be careful though is that the use of "native" as a cpuflag did conflict when using distcc, maybe they could have fixed it now ?

Good Luck.

if you have -march=native, distcc won´t work ( and it shouldn´t work, because using distcc and -march=native just doesn´t make any sense at all).
Or just setup a chroot in your quad system and build all your stuff there and setup a binhost. Only if you are running a multilib system of course.

I used -march=core2 -mtune=generic on my eeepc and it went fine afaict.
The gcc guys are going to provide a dedicated atom target, maybe we are lucky and it will be ready for gcc-4.5.

cheers

I am using gcc-4.5 from toolchain overlay with -march=atom
and it works perfect on my system.

but its a bit tricky to compile the gcc 4.5
take a look at my bug report
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270558

you also should enable the atom processor in the kernel
with a little patch from here:

http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/23085/

I'm already on testing but will report later if it works.

emerge -e world
takes a long time on intel atom N270 :D

I don't see why not, it works for gcc so should for distcc ?

https://bugs.gentoo.org/223159

A little work may be needed on distcc to test a few things that's all.

i´m not sure i get what you mean, that bug explicitly states that distcc will be disabled if -march=native is used, and that´s how it should work IMO.

As you can see, I'm using gcc-4.3.3 and glibc-2.10.1. My CFLAGS are per the recommendation in the safe cflags page for an Atom N270 (almost the same CPU). For my kernel build, I selected the Core2 processor family. Seems to be okay, though that was unintuitive and required some googling.

Believe it or not, I'm running KDE-4.2.3 on this little puppy, and so far, I'm happy. Very usable, though I have to acclimate to KDE4 since I've been a stubborn, heavy user of KDE-3.5 until now.

The -msse and -msse2 are redundant. You only need to include the highest level of sse you have - gcc will fill in the rest. Run 'gcc -c -Q -O3 -msse3 --help=target' and compare to 'gcc -c -Q -O3 -msse -msse2 -msse3 --help=target'.

For those (including myself) using -march=prescott: You probably want to include "-mssse3". (three s's) The Atom supports ssse3, while the prescott did not.
