It's an interesting degradation especially as you would think that a change in the softfloat implementation should hit everyone in the same way. We actually have a tool for benchmarking the softfloat implementation itself called fp-bench. You can find it in tests/fp. I would be curious to see if you saw a drop in performance in the following: ./fp-bench -p double -o cmp > > Report link: > https://ahmedkrmn.github.io/TCG-Continuous-Benchmarking/QEMU-5.0-and-5.1-= pre-soft-freeze-Dissect-Comparison/ If you identify a drop in performance due to a commit linking to it from the report wouldn't be a bad idea so those that want to quickly replicate the test can do before/after runs. > > Previous reports: > Report 1 - Measuring Basic Performance Metrics of QEMU: > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-06/msg06692.html > Report 2 - Dissecting QEMU Into Three Main Parts: > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-06/msg09441.html > > Best regards, > Ahmed Karaman --=20 Alex Benn=C3=A9e
