Hi everyone! I'm starting new tests for my Raspberry PI node... I'm using a very precise signal generator to run my RPI replacing the generic Crystal Oscillator with this good one, my tests show good results for overclock too. But i need some ways to tests this experiment, if all runs with success i will try to keep this node running for a long time (it was in a electronics research lab what i work), this signal generator have an rubidium oscillator internally, what makes the generated signal very precise, please someone knows some way to test if the node is really good (i already have done some stress tests with success). The setup is:

-Raspberry Pi model B;
-SMB 100A Rohde & Schwarz Signal / Microwave generator;
-Raspbian Jessie with 4.9.24+ RT kernel;
-BNC cable to transport the signal to RPI board;
-100MB Bandwidth connection but the RPI 1 limits to 10MB/s the BW;
-700MHz to 1033MHz overclocked BCM2835 CPU.

-> In the future I will start to play with RPI 3 Model B+, but for now RPI 1 sounds ok.
-> The node IP is 143.107.228.226 - Running client v1.4.0 and staking ok.

Thats all folks! xD

For a start I would check how the CPU handles new blocks, use a CPU usage logger or just htop and monitor what happens when a new block flies in. In this setup that is the only bottleneck I could see.

Also limit the number of connections to keep the ram usage down (maybe around 20). Once the pi starts swapping to the sd card its performance drops considerably...
