[linuxsh-shmedia-dev] SH5-LMBench

[Massimo A. <Mas...@st...>]

Hi Ben,

I have already ported LMBench to SH5,  I'm trying to tune it for a =
correct
analysys; I'm running it into a Linux50 kernel 2.4.19 without Cache
I'll keep you informed on what's going on.

Ciao,

But how are we to measure performance of the kernel?

My current plan is to port LMBench (http://www.bitmover.com/lmbench/) on =
to SHmedia Linux and then use this as a basis for considering different =
caching optimisations. The problem I have at the moment is that LMBench =
expects a native toolchain and although I have it cross-compiled to run =
it still requires native tools. Of course, I sure with some work that it =
would be possible to modify LMBench to get around this but as we are =
currently working on bringing up a native toolchain, very close I =
believe (Andy), it seems that my time is better spent doing other things =
until it arrives.

As before please try out the new caching implementation and let me know =
if there are any problems.
