What=E2=80=99s the current status of the Cavium ThunderX? Is it rea= sonably stable in -CURRENT? Yes, it is stable in -CURRENT now (and has been for some time). There are two ThunderX evaluation machines in the network perf test cluster hosted at Sentex that we've been using for development and bring-up of common infrastructure. Semihalf also has a number of ThunderX platforms for Cavium-specific work. Most FreeBSD features work on arm64, including DTrace and hwpmc. We still lack official package sets, but production hardware for the main FreeBSD cluster should arrive soon and we should start building packages before long.
