I suppose the real question is, "is there a way to > concisely measure the amount of 'simulated' time it take for a simulation > to run?" The current batch of CPU models in sid do not attempt to track the number of cycles taken by any given instruction. To do so exactly is a crazy amount of work to do just casually. (Think of having to model all the pipeline interlock/bypass features, functional units.) SID can on the other hand model memory latency, so if that's the bulk of your interest, we can make the profile data collector sensitive to that. > FWIW, I'm using ~6 week old copy of SID.
