Multi-core for Fs-UAE

Hi !

Sorry I'm new here, maybe it's already done but !
M'm trying to have a better emulation of Amiga with fs-Uae On my odroid-u3+

With some options is better but not perfect (for speed)
the odroid U3 have 4 core of 1.7Ghz,
I'm not sure fs-uae use all this core in emulation, i'm correct ?

If yes, it existe a compilation option for use multi-core ?

thks a lot

FS-UAE already utilizes multiple threads (for some tasks). The emulation itself have to run in a single thread since Amiga emulation is heavily synchronization-depended (different subsystems have to be emulated in a lock-step fashion).

While 4x 1.7 GHz sounds good on papir, the ODROID uses an ARM "embedded" CPU, and this is simply less powerful than current desktop and laptop CPUs. FS-UAE does not really target embedded devices (mobiles, etc). One issue is that the emulation is really quite demanding (another slightly less important issue is that FS-UAE isn't optimized for non-discrete GPUs).

Here are some tips to get increased performance: http://fs-uae.net/performance.

Off course ARM is not the same with Intel or Amd.
maybe in the futur, a omptimze version for arm, who know, we will see

Yes, I already read and doing some modifications for performance, it's better.

thks a lot.
See You

After PPC emulation.. nothing is impossible ;D

As far as I know the U3 renders OpenGL in software mode without hw-acceleration like most (all?) of those tiny ARM based devices. That's why it runs very slow.

You can give the unofficial GLES port a try, it should run faster:

My dualcore Cortex A7 can do basic A500 emulation (with some slowdowns).

You could try to compile UAE4ALL2:

Good luck with that, I wasn't successful...

I recall there was talk about emulating CPU with one core and chipset with another core back in the days on UAE, I got the impression that this was what --enable-penguins compile option did?
