Expected resource consumption and stability on Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB RAM) #39

Description

@makariousmagdy

Hello,

I am planning to run Cisco Mercury on a resource-constrained edge device, specifically a Raspberry Pi 4 (ARM Cortex-A72 Quad-core, 4GB RAM).
To optimize resources, I intend to restrict it to a single worker thread (-t 1), use the --minimize-ram flag, and allocate a small ring buffer (e.g., -b 0.05).
Could you please clarify:
What is the approximate RAM footprint with --minimize-ram enabled? Can it comfortably operate within a ~300-500 MB limit?
Are there any known CPU bottlenecks or stability issues when running Mercury continuously on this ARM architecture?
Are there any specific build flags or runtime parameters you recommend for limited-resource devices?
Thank you for your time.
