Careful thought certainly helps a lot,but there are things too mysterious for me to thought of:) 2001-09-04 03:18:00£º >On Tue, Sep 04, 2001 at 01:56:42AM +0800, Fuxin Zhang wrote: > >> hello,linux-mips >> I have barely finished porting 2.4 kernel to Algorithmics P6032 board.Now I want >> to make it more stable and run faster,is there any well-known test or benchmark tools used >> by mips kernel group?
