- Well, thank you for the reply. Does executor store the native code
- it generates on disk or does it regenerate on every restart of the
- program? I was looking at the table comparing performance of the
- Quadra 610 running 68K code on its 68040 vs the synthetic CPU on
- various IBM boxes... would it be possible to compare vs IBM code on
- IBM boxes? It seems to me that such a comparison (say 486/66 running
- the synthetic benchmarks vs IBM code on same benchmarks) would show
- how much farther the synthetic CPU has to go before matching the
- performance of compiled code for the IBM. In theory, it seems to me
- that the synthetic CPU should be able to match the real one (it would
- take alot of analysis... data flow and control flow analysis just like
- in a real compiler/optimizer). Am I way off base here? Or is such
- analysis too complicated for now? Are there reaons besides time
- constraints that heavy optimization isn't performed and then the
- results stored on disk?
-
- One more question... how many people are on this list? Also, I should
- state that I am glad you guys are up to what you are up to :)
