Lame int, low FP, low core density and what networking ‎is available..

 I have a small cluster of 3 odroid u3 running Unbuntu 14.04 LTS (I do
 have to update it these days to 16.04). I use condor and it works very
 nicely
 
 You can see a short demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4QPX50u4rg

Hi all,
 we have a (tiny) experimental ARM box - based on Cavium ThunderX, but have
 run into basic issues with distros (ie, ARM+ldap+ubuntu=fail).
 
 If you're using ARM (on something bigger than a RPi), what distro are you
 using?
I don't have 1st hand experience with the combination you're
 referencing above, but peanut gallery comments
 
 1) I'd encourage you to retry the default Cavium provided OS - I
 realize that the package manager may not be fun, but they have thus
 far been good about software support for our needs
 
 2) Fedora has put quite a bit of effort into their AArch64 distro
 ------------
 I'm happy to connect you to people @ARM or @Cavium which is likely a
 better support channel for critical software like this.
