[Galene] Re: Galene & Raspberry

[Fabrice Rouillier <fabrice@rouillier.fr>]

BTW : I have installed Galene at Inria Paris for some conferences cycle, first test was today with around 40 people + one conference room equipped with audio speakers and ambiant micros, our first true « hybrid » conference. I did couple this with a streaming with OBS installed in a virtual machine with a VNC access (so th only need for the operator is to have an internet connection to launch OBS which is pre-configured, only one button to press)

The result was highly convincing : a total of 12 processor threads (8 for OBS, 4 for Galene)  used by 2 Linux virtual machines.

I suspect this is a sum of things.
A  part is due to the use of the 64 bit linux kernel itself. 50% more powerful for php for example.
Another part is probably due to the disabling of the wifi (at least for the impression when connecting)
Probably also the version of go plays some role

I will start with the dirty way :-)

Thanks again, I will try it later.

All the best,
