My experience has been that with loongson2f nothing is really fast enough to be usable for everyday tasks (I've also played with Bochs). But actually Loongson3 (which I think will initially be targeted at servers) has built-in support for qemu to be able to run x86 code at fast speeds - see http://qemu.software.informer.com/wiki/#QVM86 "The MIPS-compatible Loongson-3 processor adds 200 new instructions to help QEMU translate x86 instructions; those new instructions lower the overhead of executing x86/CISC-style instructions in the MIPS pipeline. With additional improvements in QEMU by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Loongson-3 achives an average of 70% the performance of executing native binaries while running x86 binaries from nine benchmarks." http://www.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/doi/10.1109/MM.2009.30 -- \|/ Daniel JB Clark | Activist; Owner FREEDOM -+-> INCLUDED ~ http://freedomincluded.com /|\ Free Software respecting hardware -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "loongson-dev" group.
