With this microbenchmark we can measure the overhead of emulating atomic
instructions with a configurable degree of contention.
The benchmark spawns $n threads, each performing $o atomic ops (additions)
in a loop. Each atomic operation is performed on a different cache line
(assuming lines are 64b long) that is randomly selected from a range [0, $r).
[ Note: each $foo corresponds to a -foo flag ]
Hi Richard,
As I mentioned yesterday I have an updated version of this
patch: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-09/msg03450.html
[ The major change is to run for a certain number of seconds, instead
of a fixed number of operations. ]
I'll send the full updated patch as a reply to this message to make
it easier to pick up.
