* Completed First-time wiki page, at least for now. Expecting to add more information as I go.
* Running SPEC2K on the Snowball board. The tests are failing because I run out out of memory. This is due to too little RAM available in the default kernel configuration. (Official HW pack.) I had a go with creating a swap file on the SD-card. The tests are then running, but results are slow (which makes sense). Will try to make more memory available with changed uboot-option, or with a fresh kernel.
* Discussing with Michael about benchmark candidates that will add a web browsing perspective to the benchmarks we have. I suggest Sunspider and V8 benchmark suite for the JavaScript aspect, and EEMBC Browsing Bench and perhaps ARMBBench for the load and render aspect. As for the imaging aspect we have DENBench and ConsumerBench.

I should be able to equip you soon with a web browsing benchmark based on Firefox's Talos suite (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Buildbot/Talos). The most representative test (tp5) unfortunately depends on a data set that we can't distribute; but there are SunSpider and Dromaeo suites as well, and I am sure that we can arrange nightly tp5 runs within Mozilla. Let's work out what spectrum of hardware / kernel / userland options you'd like to cover with this benchmark.
Cheers, - Michael

Hi Michael. I'm interested in the toolchain side, so we first want to start measuring a browser workload to catch regressions, then do a options/compiler version comparison to see if here's significant gains to be had, then perhaps look into the hot functions themselves.
This is all with a fixed environment (specific A9+Natty+kernel) and different toolchains. Dave, Loïc: what are our system level browser plans?
