Fall 2014 SPO600 Packages by Participant
Contents
Overview
This is the package list from http://performance.linaro.org, with packages already in the Fedora Aarch64 repositories removed, divided between the Fall 2014 SPO600 participants.
To do for October 7
- Do an initial check on each of the packages in your list. It may be that they are already available for ARM (maybe under a slightly-different name), that they don't exist in Fedora but do exist in other distros, that nobody cares about them anymore, or something else.
- Take a look at the notes on the Linaro Performance Challenge site for each package. This will give you a little bit of information about the porting/optimization required for each package.
- Briefly annotate each of the entries in your part of this page (i.e., mark them up with a brief note about what you've found). See my section for an example.
- Blog about your package list.
Note:
- This list is divided up by participant only for the purpose of investigation right now. We may redistribute this list as we start work on these packages.
- There may be packages that were removed because they exist in the Fedora Aarch64 repositories that should actually be included here, because they need optimization.

Chris Tyler
- acpidump - included in Fedora aarch64 as part of 'acpica-tools' - may be slightly different version.
- glib2.0 - included in Fedora aarch64 under the name 'glib2'.
- newlib - intended for embedded systems. ARM32 version in Fedora as 'arm-none-eabi-newlib'. Aarch64 version might be a fair bit of work.
- nana - not present in Fedora, present in repositories for Debian but not arm64/aarch64. Can probably get working easily except for timers.
- lam - not present in Fedora. Message Passing Interface (MPI) implementation - do we need this if we have OpenMPI?
- radare - reverse-engineering tools - very arch-specific. Not present in Fedora; present in Ubuntu/Debian but only for x86_32 and x86_64. Upstream website says that aarch64 is supported (?).
- libcrypt-cast5-perl - not present in Fedora; present in Ubuntu/Debian but only for x86_32/x86_64. The portable version is perl-Crypt-CAST5_PP, but probably lower performance.
- brutefir - audio library - not present in Fedora; present in Ubuntu/Debian for x86 and arm64. May be using C fallbacks.
- libgc - garbage collection library - not present in Fedora; present in Ubuntu/Debian for x86 and arm64. Wonder if the arm64 build works properly?
- boinc-app-seti - SETI client for BOINC framework. Not in Fedora, present in Ubuntu/Debian for x86 and arm64. Does anyone use this?
- nuitka - python compiler, Ubuntu/Debian has x86_32 build only. Not present in Fedora.
- sbsigntool - tool to sign and verify UEFI secure boot files. Ubuntu notes indicate that it's patched to sign arm64 images, but doesn't run on arm64. Not in Fedora.
