Hi, It doesn't seems to be an FAQ but I would think it's a common problem. What are the "best" processors to run Valgrind ? "best" in how do I compare "usual" valgrind speed w.r.t. CPU architecture and clock speed. I'm usually fine with a relatively slow processor for development but Valgrind is changing this. I don't plan to invest too much money, and I see the choice between Athlon who may have better cache, branch prediction and memory architecture, versus higher speed clock but relatively dumb Celeron. My guts feeling is that for valgrind execution speed is mostly linear with clock speed, though the branch prediction and cache may have a significant effect too. So basically is there something else I forgot, and is there existing Valgrind execution benchmarks for a given "test program" ? I'm mostly interested in performances of the simple run of valgrind, cachegrind kind of use is less common. Just wondering, I'm probably not the first one who had that question, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat Network https://rhn.redhat.com/ vei...@re... | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ |
