[B2-devel] [ANN] JIT Basilisk II 04/12/2000

[<gb...@di...>]

Hi,

I had updated JIT Basilisk a couple of weeks back and fixed the lazy
flusher. The compile_block() function now takes only 8% of the total
execution time compared to more than 50% in the past but without Lazy
Flushing!

That release is not in sync with Bernie's latest UAE-JIT IT Release but
it now enables JIT Compilation for FPU instructions. Unfortunately, that
is rather buggy and actually slower than JIT-FPU. bkoz: JIT-FPU
activated the old and buggy UAE FPU core.

That weekend, I started to reimplement the FPU core for supposedly
IEEE-754/854 behaved target FPU. That core also implements lazy
evaluation of FPU flags as Bernie did for his UAE-JIT IT Release. If
that FPE core works on our SPARC workstations then I will probably
commit it to the CVS as it makes scrollbars working too ;-)

BTW, any objection in moving all FPU related files to a fpu/
subdirectory of uae_cpu/ ?

Bye
