The ARM Server project started with the Oneiric Ocelot (11.10) cycle.

== Overview ==
The Ubuntu ARM Server project was started with the question "Do Linux X86 software loads work the same on ARM CPU's or are there differences?" To find the answer to this question we are validating server loads on ARM hardware first to make certain they run and in the future on proper server class hardware make sure they run as fast as possible on that hardware.

There were extensive conversations around this at the Oneiric Ocelot UDS and many blueprints were outlined for execution at that time. Currently work is on-going but proceeding well.

== Hardware ==
Currently there is no server class hardware on the commercial market so we are using a development platform for initial validation. At some point over the next year we hope to have proper server class hardware and can run proper benchmarks against it. We are not keeping or publishing benchmark numbers on any validation tests currently being run. Rather we are simply tracking it it runs, has issues or does not run at all (of course filing bugs as needed).

== Status ==

Please visit the [[http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-oneiric/group/topic-oneiric-arm-server.html|Oneiric ARM server]] status pages. It lists the current progress blueprint by blueprint, including current burn down charts.

Overview

The Ubuntu ARM Server project was started with the question "Do Linux X86 software loads work the same on ARM CPU's or are there differences?" To find the answer to this question we are validating server loads on ARM hardware first to make certain they run and in the future on proper server class hardware make sure they run as fast as possible on that hardware.

There were extensive conversations around this at the Oneiric Ocelot UDS and many blueprints were outlined for execution at that time. Currently work is on-going but proceeding well.

Hardware

Currently there is no server class hardware on the commercial market so we are using a development platform for initial validation. At some point over the next year we hope to have proper server class hardware and can run proper benchmarks against it. We are not keeping or publishing benchmark numbers on any validation tests currently being run. Rather we are simply tracking it it runs, has issues or does not run at all (of course filing bugs as needed).

== Status ==

Please visit the Oneiric ARM server status pages. It lists the current progress blueprint by blueprint, including current burn down charts.
