Thanks. Nasty tool. I haven't read the source but I wonder how you can check cache performance from C code. I'm curious how my system does under real workloads, though. I suspect my 256 KB L2 is sufficient since I'm not doing "real time" work, like games - the main reason people get full Pentiums and Athlon 64s! _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
