Description Jesper Skov 2001-01-04 14:21:38 UTC 
Way back when, I ran dhrystone tests on both eCos and Linux on the 
same MBX board. The  version on Linux ran quite a bit faster. Possibly
missing some board initialization magic in the HAL.
Comment 1 George Thomas 2002-01-24 12:31:25 UTC 
I just noticed that the performance of the MBX board when running from RAM is
less than 50% of what it is when run from ROM.  This is most likely a RAM vs.
ROM hardware configuration problem (the RAM is DRAM which runs via a complicated
setup).  Fix this anomaly and you'll probably fix the Dhrystone performance
problem as well.
Comment 2 George Thomas 2002-04-11 17:23:44 UTC 
The caches were not being set up properly, certainly not for RAM based
applications.  This has been fixed and the Dhrystone benchmark now runs more
than 4 times faster than before.
