Hello,
Related to this, is anyone aware of any big difference in terms of perfSONAR measuring capability between LIVA X
2GB vs. LIVA X 4GB Mini PC?
The 2GB memory LIVA X is $104 while the 4GB memory LIVA X is $144 on newegg, so if there is no significant advantage of using 4GB LIVA X instead of the 2GB LIVA X, we want to stick with the 2GB one (and I think the community mostly tested with
a 2GB version.)
Any experience or thoughts to share?
Thanks,
Joon

Looks
like the LIVA X is currently only $10 more on Newegg--
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856501011
Specs
show a slightly faster CPU vs. LIVA (N2808 vs. N2807) plus
an
extra USB port. It's also pre-assembled vs. a kit which is a plus.
One
thing to note is that Ubuntu enables the "ondemand" init script
by
default which puts the CPU in "powersave" mode. In testing the
LIVA,
I found that this seems to limit throughput a bit in performance
tests.
I get around 900Mbps TCP throughput vs. 940Mbps in
"performance"
mode. Also saw some packet loss when doing UDP tests
with
1500 byte datagrams at 1 Gbps in powersave mode. You can disable
the
script with the following which will leave the CPU in performance
mode.
update-rc.d
-f ondemand remove

Hi Casey,
The Liva Black (or BAT?) was the original tested hardware platform.
This one in particular (not trying to promote newegg as a vendor,
just handy link):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856501007.
For the most part it just worked with Ubuntu 12.05 Desktop,
although a couple of models had a few hardware quirks.
At IU we're going to be looking at the Liva X as a new release of
that hardware. There is actually one sitting on my desk right now.
You can get these from amazon or newegg or whatever today, although
to the best of my knowledge nobody has done any testing on them
just yet. If you want one to tinker go ahead, but I might hold off
on ordering 1000.

Group,
We're interested in obtaining a new small node hardware platform
for testing. I was interested particularly in the LIVA mini-pc.
They were mentioned at TechEx and are mentioned on the small node
page off the main PS webpage.
What I'm interested in is which of the LIVA mini-PCs has been
tested by I2 or ES.net <http://ES.net> (or others) with
PerfSonar? The Liva? Liva X? Liva X2? Liva Core? I believe
what I saw talked about at TechEx was either the Liva or the Liva
X, probably the Liva X.
I also remember talk of a new hardware revision about to be
released for these, does anyone know when that should drop
(roughly), so I'll know whether to buy this week or wait a couple
of weeks?
Thank you
