Subject: [parisc-linux] some 2.5 kernel profile data
Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2003 22:22:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030414052248.GG25257@tausq.org> (raw)
i ran 'readprofile' on a 2.5.67-pa3 UP kernel (a500, 64-bit) with
several different workloads. here are the numbers if anyone is
interested.
the results are from
readprofile -m System.map -d vmlinux | sort -rn -k3 | head -30
Each data set is collected from a freshly booted kernel.
1) 'make clean vmlinux' on a 2.5 kernel tree:

Hope someone find these useful and can help make the kernel more
optimized.. :-) I'm not quite sure why there are so many cache
flushes....
