I think QEMU requires solid memory management to work (at least I was told so when I asked for AmigaOS port). Other than that, emulation of PowerPC on "68k" would be really slow (cca 4 MHz 460EX ).

@pavlor

qemu need min 256mb for minimal configuration for run

just made a fast test on G5 with 405ep cpu and kvm run on it.
it mean the Sam 460 will be kvm virtualized when done

AROS and Linux iso-s use the Parthenope (ub2lb) bootloader which
currently fails when it calls the start_unit_scan with NULL first
argument in cdrom.c:get_dev() which causes a null pointer dereference
in U-Boot/board/ACube/common/sys_dep.c:start_unit_scan() which causes
an exception in QEMU (vector 1300, I think it's Data TLB Error) and
this leads to breakage.

re:4 MHz

Maybe, but the Vampire has more registers than the PPC 400 series and a smarter cache controller. Does QEmu have a JIT?


re:256 megs of RAM

In the stand alone model, I think it will have 256 megs. Don't quote me though.

@Hypex

Contact Zoltan and help him about.

It have but not for all the architectures .

It has some sort of generic dynamic emulation, but speed is comparable to cca 1/30 of native performance. You can´t expect miracles with such slow hardware like Vampire (cca 1/15-1/20 of 460EX 1.1 GHz performance).

512 MB in the announcement PDF.

@pavlor

This is Qemu in kvm running Osx tiger and classic inside it ..
check the speedometer performances..
Note there is a bug in qemu because kvm run at the half of the MOL kvm performances in computing ... it is like a G5 1.25 mhz.
The 68k in classic is like a G4 400mhz in computing (sonnet board).
Quadra 950 is 1.3 points in cpu. .. 5.11 is 68060 66mhz

@tlosm

Well, most of us would use QEMU/SAM460 emulation on PCs without such KVM accelleration.

@pavlor

my I7 on PowerBook 2012 gave me 40 points cpu speedometer in qemu using it jit

Hard to judge Speedometer scores (I don´t like synthetic benchmarks). G4 400 MHz has 30.61 CPU score.

Try some application benchmark (eg. dnetc - OGR-NG scales well with performance and could be comparable to G3 scores).

i forget to say
... now ppc is multi threads tcg ... it mean you will have one core every host thread emulated.

16 threads ... 16 ppc jit cores.

i try but i cant go on dnet website from qemu because safari is really old on tiger.
i will try to make a lan share but i think will be really hard.

if you have a place to download dnet i will try to download it

http://http.distributed.net/pub/dcti/current-client/dnetc-macosx-ppc.tar.gz

Main download page:
http://www.distributed.net/Download_clients

Just type:
dnetc -benchmark

and report OGR-NG score.

downloaded thanks ... preparing for benchmarking

better than a sam and at the half of the speed in kvm

note im using only one core in tiger no smp for the g3

LOL! It's not a bug in the emulator. It's a bug in the ub2lb code. It does indeed send a NULL which clealry violates that API function. Took me a month to find it! When I was porting the code to AmigaOne. Wish I had that QEMU back then with sources when I was debugging it. All I had was a UBoot crashlog over serial and laying printf()'s in the code till it turned up. But somewhow on the Sam it works. I thought the Sam UBoot may have had some work around but according to that it doesn't look like it. So don't know how the hardware is configured to ignore a NULL DSI crash.

Apparently this line of code was added on purpose, svn revision 60, quoting the author:

Author: gicoviello Date: 2008-06-07 07:26:18 -0700 (Sat, 07 Jun 2008) Log Message: ----------- added fallback scan_list for bogus uboot

and part of the commit:

Probably old versions of UBOOT of that day (year 2008) had issues one some configurations of sam440/sam460(?). I'm more than sure that Giuseppe, who did that commit, knew exactly what he was doing.

Maybe new UBoot just silently ignores DSI... Dunno...

@tlosm

What hardware?

@pavlor

G5 Quad ... fedora ppc64
the qemu is qemu-system-ppc -M g3beige -cpu G3

speedometer gave the true ... i say on macbook is 40 in cpu points... G5 on osx not in emulation is more than 90

dnet on g5 is near 35.000.000 keys
