[REPORT] [GSoC - TCG Continuous Benchmarking] [#2] Dissecting QEMU Into Three Main Parts

[Ahmed Karaman]

Hi,

The second report of the TCG Continuous Benchmarking series builds
upon the QEMU performance metrics calculated in the previous report.
This report presents a method to dissect the number of instructions
executed by a QEMU invocation into three main phases:

- Code Generation

- JIT Execution
- Helpers Execution
It devises a Python script that automates this process.

After that, the report presents an experiment for comparing the
output of running the script on 17 different targets. Many conclusions

can be drawn from the results and two of them are discussed in the

analysis section.
