Thanks!
Since a lot of people reported timings for all the fancy new x86_64 hardware, I've not included those. Timings for my ancient machines still in service: $ gcc -o port80 -O2 port80.c $ sudo ./port80 cycles: out 1736, in 1735 $ sudo ./port80 cycles: out 1831, in 1827 $ sudo ./port80 cycles: out 1735, in 1735 $ sudo ./port80 cycles: out 1743, in 1737 $ sudo ./port80 cycles: out 1737, in 1734 $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 6 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) MP 1800+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1533.420 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mp mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow ts bogomips : 3069.09 clflush size : 32 processor : 1 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 6 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) Processor stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1533.420 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mp mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow ts bogomips : 3067.07 clflush size : 32 --- # ./port80 cycles: out 812, in 354 # ./port80 cycles: out 811, in 354 # ./port80 cycles: out 811, in 354 # ./port80 cycles: out 811, in 354 # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 672.071 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse bogomips : 1331.20 --- # ./port80 cycles: out 116, in 47 # ./port80 cycles: out 116, in 47 # ./port80 cycles: out 116, in 47 # ./port80 cycles: out 116, in 47 # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 5 model : 2 model name : Pentium 75 - 200 stepping : 12 cpu MHz : 99.476 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : yes coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 bogomips : 198.24 P133 clocked at 100MHz -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
