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
