Hi,
Glad to have found this list, project. Pretty neat stuff.
I'm doing OS research, done the bulk of it, and now
need to do "a few more" simulations. This platform
looks like a good one for my usage.
So...questions. (May have more to do with Bochs than
Plex86, but this seems like an appropriate place to ask.)
1.) Is is possible to get good, accurate performance
measurements? If so, how (a link is sufficient, thanks)?
2.) What's the minimum to get one of the kernels in the
guest/ directory to run on its own? I only need that
(simple context switcher) and memory management
(even alloc/dealloc would do, but more would be nice),
I can add my own simulation code around that. I don't
mind mocking stuff up around it. I'm trying to negate
other factors from affecting my simulation results, as
well as minimizing the time to do this (write a booter,
etc., etc.) I don't need the disk manager, simple
printf's to the console will work, etc.
I've looked at a386, if someone thinks that may be
appropriate for this, then let me know.
Many thanks in advance,
--Rob
