Hi,
I have a question about performance of Qemu for powerpc.
When I'm changing the CPU clock for taihu board from 33Mhz to 330Mhz by setting
the PLL value, the performance of Guest OS is not increased. I use nbench to
measure the guest performance.
Is qemu always running as maximum performance?
Thank.
Tai

Yes...
Logically, nbench is just pressing out all of your processor can do
(CPU bound tasks). In this case, emulated guest processor clock has
very little meaning IMO. After all, AFAIK it's just a complimentary
info so it is seen as "real processor".

Thank for your answer.
Beside nbench, I'm also using Dhrystone to measure the guest cpu performance.
The performance does not much diffetence too.
Is the emulated guest performance not depend on guest processor clock?

Please don't top-post.
Qemu doesn't emulate cycle-accurately. Instead, it converts guest code to host code and executes it as fast as it can. So whatever you tell the guest on the cpu speed doesn't really matter. Except for the timebase of course :).
Mind if I ask what exactly you're trying to do with ppc emulation? I'm interested in use cases people have.

I'm a new in Qemu.
I'm beginning to develop my custom board, and the is no components is
implemented :).
So, I'm looking forward to get help from you.
Thank you for your support from the past till now.

I see. Qemu always gives you "best performance", as it can't throttle the guest :). Btw, I'd be happy to merge your custom board (or at least some components of it if they are reasonably mainstream) upstream, if you think it makes sense and the code is in good shape.

Thank you,
Exactly I want to emulate my ppc custom board (ppc440) with many features
supporting as Ethernet, HDD, VGA, .. for my test environment (I have a software
that running on ppc440).
And I wan to get the best performance of Qemu.
