catomics - TCWG-436 [6/10] * Started a series of runs on a local board I'd borrowed ** Then had to give it back before they'd really got anywhere * Got some, possibly dubious, results back from A15 from previous week ** If the results are worth anything, they suggest that catomics don't achieve anything * Started again with a subset of SPEC on juno-01, as it was on my desk for the weekend anyway ** Results again underwhelming ** Maybe I picked the wrong subset, maybe A57 is too smart

Misc [4/10] * Including a little 'juno cache effects' followup, a little juno-01 work, and a lot of mail catchup

=Plan=

* Get back to benchmark automation ** Apply a bunch of small improvements I've got on a branch ** Get a working Jenkins backport benchmarking prototype ** Sort out sources/results storage

* Think about why catomics may not be showing any effect ** Starting to believe that this is a red herring ** But might be interesting to try 'little' class cores ** But that does involve finding a reliable target I can hold for a long time
