68000 CE 8x speed problem ?!
5 Attachment(s)
Below are some tests that explain/show influence of MHz and Fast RAM to A500 speed:
Case 1) A500 7.09MHz 512 Chip + 512 Slow RAM = 553 Dhrystones (pic.1) Case 2) A500 7.09Mhz 512 Chip + 1Mb Fast RAM = 729 Dhrystones (pic.2) ... ~1.32 X Case1 Case 3) A500 14.18MHz 512 Chip + 512 Slow RAM = 602 Dhrystones (pic.3) ... ~1.09 x Case1 Case 4) A500 14.18MHz 512 Chip + 1MB Fast RAM = 1520 Dhrystones (pic.4) ... ~2.75 x Case1 (OR ~2.08 x Case2) EDIT: In addition... Case 5) A500 28.4MHz 512 Chip + 512 Slow RAM = 640 Dhrystones (no pic.) ... ~ 1.16 x Case1 Case 6) A500 28.4MHz 512 Chip + 1MB Fast RAM = ... In SySinfo this test goes crazy (over 3x A4000@25) ?!? ... see EDIT3 below! The test Case 6 was set to CE 8x speed (same as Case 5), so why it goes crazy, the reason cant be only because of Fast RAM ? ... test done with WinUAE2810b6. EDIT2: If same test as Case 6 but with CPU 68020 instead of 68000 (or 68010) and it works fine !!! (SySinfo doesnt go crazy :) ) EDIT3: With a lot of reluctance the WinUAE problem finally fixed (see post 11), so now is able to complete the test: Case 3) A500 14.18MHz 512 Chip + 512 Slow RAM = 593 Dhrystones (no pic.) ... ~1.07 x Case1 Case 4) A500 14.18MHz 512 Chip + 1MB Fast RAM = 1471 Dhrystones (no pic.) ... ~2.66 x Case1 (OR ~2.02 x Case2) Case 5) A500 28.4MHz 512 Chip + 512 Slow RAM = 620 Dhrystones (no pic.) ... ~1.12 x Case1 Case 6) A500 28.4MHz 512 Chip + 1MB Fast RAM = ... 2956 Dhrystones (pic.5) ... ~5.35 x Case1 (OR ~4.05 x Case2 AND ~2.01 x Case4) |
Sysinfo with config that does not exist in real world does not really mean anything at all. (and sysinfo even with real config does not really show anything useful either :))

So? It still means nothing at all.
It could be overflow in sysinfo. Anything is possible. No way to test: don't care. |

same A500 CE with custom 28.375160 setting and 512Chip + 1MB Fast...
on 2.6.1 test works fine (pic.1) on 2.7.0 test goes crazy (pic.2) ?! (something is obviously broken and you still dont care :) ?!) |
Because I don't bother until it can be confirmed and if it is interesting. This can't be confirmed and is not interesting. You are also assuming that if something looks wrong, it is wrong. Never ever do that!
Maybe it becomes more interesting if you find the exact beta that started working differently. |

I found it...
the problem starts from WinUAE 2.7.0 beta4 !!! in 2.7.0 beta 3 it works fine with 8x or custom setting ! (lazybones :) ) EDIT: 2.7.0.beta3 -> http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=901068&postcount=74 2.7.0.beta4 -> http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=902679&postcount=88 p.s. CIA tod bug ON/OFF doesnt help ! |
Don't really see anything useful in change logs but try toggling CIA bug option in Advanced chipset to see if it has any effect.

p.s. I must say that it is not an interesting job to seek other's mistakes and if you find them, nobody will say thanks. Yeah, thus one year of volunteering on this topic would be quite enough. :spin Cheers 1 year volunteering = cumulatively with 20 days of unused annual leave (just in time before the World Cup) :great EDIT: Quote:

I don't give a shit on Sysinfo, but amilo is right.
I can confirm emulation is way too fast with this setting. Lha packs/unpacks archives more than 10x faster. Workbench is loading and running as if JIT is enabled. It is odd to complain about additional speed :D , but it's definitely to much if one wants to emulate a Supra28 board f.e. |
