media processor running a variant of ThreadX. Other similar form factor boards
are available.
You could also run Inferno on a smaller system
btw, I just ran ftq on t420 on 9front. ftq has the option to wire to a
core: I wired to core 2.
This is a full desktop, with rio, wifi stack, and so on.
The results from ftq on 9front are mindboggling. One simple figure of
