I was hoping to investigate GCC's bdver1 output (which does try to address L1 instruction cache issues) on Illumos but I discovered that Illumos is not currently capable of executing this code ("illegal instruction").Did you test this with the latest code from illumos-gate? The patches to support the new instruction sets on Bulldozer just went in a few days ago.
Do the latest code updates cause 'cpustat' to support AMD Family 15h? These messages appear in 'cpustat -h' output on Opteron 62XX: "CPU performance counter interface: AMD Family 15h (unsupported)" "See BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) For AMD Family 15h Processors. (Note that this pcbe does not explicitly support this family)" A working cpustat seems useful in order to understand cache problems. http://developer.amd.com/assets/SunKrishnenduSadhukhan.pdf Bob -- Bob Friesenhahn bfrie...@simple.dallas.tx.us, http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/ GraphicsMagick Maintainer, http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/ ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
