  I'm going to hazard a guess that RandomX won't work in armvl
• 14:29
  fluffypony
  but maybe hyc has thoughts
• 14:38
  sech1
  why not? It definitely works in interpreter mode
• 14:38
  hyc
  yeah, just not fast enough to be worthwhile
• 14:39
  sech1
  fast enough to be able to run a node though
• 14:39
  hyc
  if people are seriously going to use that, we should merge this PR tevador/RandomX #148

  hyc
  just to be clear - armv7l means a modern ARMv8 CPU running in 32bit mode
• 14:42
  hyc
  as opposed to armv7a with is a 32bit CPU
• 14:44
  hyc
  s/with/which

  arm7 / 8 are different to arm4l tho
• 15:31
  fluffypony
  arm4l on an embedded system might be severely constrained from a RAM / VM perspective
• 17:33
  hyc
  oh wait, are you talking arm7 or armv7? completely different things
• 17:33
  hyc
  but sure, if the box doesn't have at least 2.5GB RAM it's not gonna be pretty
• 17:34
  hyc
  and that's a really good point. most 32bit OSs only have 2GB user address space
• 17:34
  hyc
  2/2 user/kernel split is more common than 3/1
