Comparing Linux and MinixComparing Linux and MinixPosted Feb 5, 2007 22:05 UTC (Mon) by tjc (guest, #137)In reply to: Comparing Linux and Minix by evgeny Parent article: Comparing Linux and Minix
What puzzles me is the totally inferior FP performance of Minix. Why?? Shouldn't it be determined by the FPU alone? Or does Minix emulates FPU? If yes, this might impact other tests as well.See second-to-last question: http://www.minix3.org/doc/environ.html
