AmigaOS4 Petunia benchmarks
« on: August 18, 2003, 11:24:41 AM »
I published new benchmarks on my web pages from the recent vesion of the dynamic recompiling based M68k emulator for AmigaOS4.

This version is already converted to AmigaOS4, and running on the native PowerPC system.

Let's make some things clear:

1. In every test emulation setup time calculated into the results. It takes 1.5 secs for a simple "RTS" program. (Later this time will be gone, eg. buliding jump tables take a lot of time, but it has to do only once.) So, I could decrease the running times with this value, but I want to be as correct as possible, and that vaules wouldn't be the ones what I actually measured.

2. Emulation is highly clock-speed dependant. On a 604/233 system results were a lot better, than on 604/180 actually is. (I could have explanation for this, but it is not really interesting, rather technical.) I had just no opportunity of getting such system right now. So, measuring the speed on a higher clocked system WILL imply better results.

3. The tests are sort. This is true, but on some system these tests take AGES to run. At the beginning I had a slower machine, and the emulation was slower too, that is why I chose these tests. Now everything run better, but I don't want to change the tests, because of these are the base of comparsion of the recent results.

4. Emulation is beta, not finished yet. AOS4 is beta not finished yet. I have ideas for improvements, but right now I am about stabilization and integration.

(BTW, I don't know what is wrong with julia test, it is running just fine on AmigaOS3.x, AmigaOS4 and UAE. Except MorphOS. Where is the fault then?  :-D Just a joke, don't take too serious...)

Just to let you know: I installed PPC based DOS to my AOS4 snapshot today morning (I used the emulated DOS up to now) and init of Petunia goes a lot faster. Eg. mandel test runs around 4 secs WITH the init...

Ok, I stop here now. Had enough for today.
