Is there any accessible computer with armhf architecture on cfarm?
armhf isn'r a hardware type, it's the Debian name for their repo
compiled for the armv7 with hardware VFP math instructions.
If instead you mean Raspberry Pi, their hardware baseline is ARM v6
and someone had to recompile all of Debian as armv6 VFP to make Raspbian,
all because someone wanted an extra 20% of speed in the cryptography
code and in long integer divisions by using the count-leading-zeroes
instructions.
Cheers. Nice one.
For generic cfarm use, I guess some admin would need to set a chroot running
on an existng ARM7-with-VFP host and make sshd listen on some port.
An a user, you may get somewhere with debootstrap --foreign and
qemu-arm-system
to run the Debian (or Raspbian) armhf distro, presumably on the fastest
ARM system
you can find, hoping it uses the native FP instructions.
