Hi gérard,
Please try to run with the NOASYNCH binary which I can build with:
$ mmk /macro=(noasynch=1) vax
And let me know directly if you see different performance.
Thanks,
- Mark

Does The compiler generate simh code that causes alignment faults when simh
executies? A notorious source of bad performance on early Itanium ports.

Hello,
I have a VAX emulated with simh compiled and running on OpenVMS 8.4-1H1
(vsi) Itanium i4. The software used does only heavy cpu tasks (Ada cross
compiler).
The performance is surprinsigly bad: about 4 times lower than then VAX
station 4000-90. A compilation batch which was taking 7mn of CPU takes
on the emulator 24mn of CPU.
The host Itanium uses 1 core at 100%, and not a lot of page faults, 100
dio /s which I think is for the emulated clock.
(I use the same (back/image) system disk as of the initial hardware VAX.
I have verified I use all the 512m of memory, there are not a lot of
page fault on the VAX.)
I don't understand why it is so bad. I thought about some special things
on C compilation, but which?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Gérard Calliet
