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, Massimo ----- Original Message -----=20 From: ben...@su...=20 To: lin...@li...=20 Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 4:24 PM Subject: [linuxsh-shmedia-dev] SHmedia Linux operand caches continued <...> But how are we to measure performance of the kernel? =20 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. =20 As before please try out the new caching implementation and let me know = if there are any problems. =20 cheers, =20 ben. |
