Hello all,
gcc38 is documented to be a PS3, with a 3.2 Ghz Cell processor (PowerPC
architecture). Every (integer) code I run on it seems "sluggish". This
covers both my own C and assembly code, and, for instance, OpenSSL:
"openssl speed sha256" reports a top hashing speed of about 52 MB/s, as
if the CPU was running at 1 GHz or so.
However, the kernel reports that the processor should be able to
run at 3.2 GHz. Maybe there is a problem with the automatic
frequency downscaling (the frequency failing to go up when the CPU
is not idle) ? Or is there something I utterly misunderstood ?
