Greetings, The final report of the TCG Continuous Benchmarking series introduces basic performance measurements for QEMU system mode emulation. The latest version of Debian 15.0 is used for testing and comparing the emulation performance on five targets (aarch64, arm, mips, mipsel, and x86_64).
The boot-up time and the number of executed instructions are compared for the emulation of the targets. The report also introduces a new topN_system script for finding the most executed QEMU functions in the emulation.
