Performance Characterization of the Pentium(r) Pro Processor

چکیده
In this paper, we characterize the performance of several business and technical benchmarks on a Pentium Pro processor based system. Various architectural data are collected using a performance monitoring counter tool. Results show that the Pentium Pro processor achieves significantly lower cycles per instruction than the Pentium processor due to its out of order and speculative execution, and non-blocking cache and memory system. Its higher clock frequency also contributes to even higher performance.

Pentium III Processor Implementation Tradeoffs
This paper discusses the implementation tradeoffs of the Pentium III processor. The Pentium III processor implements a new extension of the IA-32 instruction set called the Internet Streaming Single-Instruction, MultipleData (SIMD) Extensions (Internet SSE). The processor is based on the Pentium Pro processor microarchitecture. The initial development goals for the Pentium III processor were ...
متن کاملTemporal accuracy and modern high performance processors : A case study using Pentium Pro
Real-time systems must be able to ensure temporally determinate execution of real-time tasks at run-time. By temporal accuracy, we refer to the timing accuracy with which the execution of a task can be started at a predetermined time. Temporally determinate execution of tasks on modern high performance processors is becoming more and more diicult because of the techniques used by these processo...

متن کاملPerformance Characterization of a Quad Pentium Pro SMP Using OLTP Workloads1
Commercial applications are an important, yet often overlooked, workload with significantly different characteristics from technical workloads. The potential impact of these differences is that computers optimized for technical workloads may not provide good performance for commercial applications, and these applications may not fully exploit advances in processor design. To evaluate these issu...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis and Validation of the Intel ® Pentium ®
In addition to the considerable effort spent on functional validation of Intel processors, a separate parallel activity is conducted to verify that processor performance meets or exceeds specifications. In this paper, we discuss both the pre-silicon and post-silicon performance validation processes carried out on the 90nm version of the Intel Pentium 4 processor. For pre-silicon performance wor...
