If we make the assumption that both pipelines could be kept completely full, and since BogoMIPS is essentially a timing loop I hope the branch prediction could get that one right, wouldn't it be reasonable to have one completed instruction per pipe per clock cycle? If there's an electrical engineer among us please correct me. I just did a little looking into BogoMIPS and there are all kinds of things that can make it give errenous numbers. BUT it's as reliable as any other benchmark. And I'll use it to prove mine's faster than the Jones's down the street. ;-) On Wed, 12 Jul 2000, ryan hankins wrote: > > I don't _think_ intel publishes the number of cycles each instruction > takes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
