Subject: Speed on Trimslice ARM

A while ago some people were wondering about speeds of JTR on ARM so I
figured I would post the numbers I got on a TrimSlice PRO (which is a
Tegra style Arm)

As would be expected.. the ARM is not going to be faster than a PC for
this sort of work. The box is running a base OS without any sort of
special access to the onboard GPU. If I find a way to program that, I
will append the numbers accordingly. My guess is that in the end, the
big "win" of ARM would be MPI programming multiple boards (400+) to
run lots of slow calculations at the electrical and hardware costs of
running 40 PC boards.
