Ramin,
Thanks for the email. I've added linaro-dev to my response.
The demo consisted of two identical PandaBoards with identical SD cards running the 3D benchmark of 0xbench using software 3D to amplify compiler and kernel improvements. 0xbench is a benchmarking program we ship with our Android images from 0xlab. Each build ran the same Android userspace, 2.3.4, but one was using the 2.6.36 Linux kernel and GCC 4.4 from the stock AOSP distribution and one was using an upgraded Linaro 3.0 Linux kernel with Linaro GCC 4.5. We ran the board in 640x480 mode so that we wouldn't be memory bound.
Users can use and recreate the builds easily. To program the builds visit
2.6.36 https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/panda-11.05-release/
and
3.0 https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/panda-11.07-release/
To recreate the builds from scratch visit:

Here's a video of demo running:

I'm happy to help you reproduce the demos. Feel free to drop by #linaro-android on freenode.

Hi Zach
I didn’t get a chance to see you yesterday so got your card from the table. I was one of the first employees of our Multimedia Division who was from a game-dev background.
Your demos were interesting so I was wondering if I could ask for a bit of explanation, and what they were?
I also like to know what engine they were running or was it a custom bit of code that you wrote?
Thanks
Ramin
