OpenBSD on the Vortex86DX CPU

Frederic Cambus September 24, 2021 [OpenBSD]

This is the OpenBSD counterpart of my article about running NetBSD on the Vortex86DX CPU, and its purpose is mostly to archive a dmesg entry and various benchmarks for this machine. I should note that with only 256MB of RAM, the machine is too constrained to do kernel and libraries relinking in a timely manner, due to swapping.

For more information and background about the hardware, please refer to my other article.

Here is the result of a quick md5 -t benchmark:

MD5 time trial.  Processing 10000 10000-byte blocks...
Digest = 52e5f9c9e6f656f3e1800dfa5579d089
Time   = 2.398437 seconds
Speed  = 41693819.766790 bytes/second

Here is the result of the sha1 -t benchmark:

SHA1 time trial.  Processing 10000 10000-byte blocks...
Digest = 74a57b897cc581defa5b3a359fa762a1b83a60e8
Time   = 5.648437 seconds
Speed  = 17704012.632167 bytes/second

For the record, LibreSSL speed benchmark results are available here.
