Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #144 and PR #166, then examine the Travis CI aarch64 build and reproduce it on a high-end aarch64 machine such as an AWS m7g instance. Check whether the build is killed under the 3GB limit and whether THUNDERX3T110 kernels apply; done means documenting benchmark results and the resulting wheel-size or build recommendation.

Description

I wonder if the problem with aarch64 builds on travisCI is that we are running out of memory and the build process is killed (on manylinux/glibc). Travis has a 3GB limit. Similar to issue #144 and the PR #166, we should benchmark aarch64 on a high-end aarch64 machine.

@ev-br is this something you could do? Is the AWS m7g instance (with a graviton3 processor) advanced enough to use the THUNDERX3T110 kernels or is that targeting some other processor?
