TurboMMUbench 1.1 ©SpeedGeek 2018

INTRODUCTION:
TurboMMUbench is a benchmark tool for TurboMMU040+. It runs
a tight loop of 5000 512KB Public memory reads. These reads
are incremented in 4K address blocks so Page size will
affect the performance results.

The parameters of this benchmark may have no relationship to
actual use but the goal here is to show the effects of MMU
configuration on CPU performance. However, a great amount of
effort was made to time these FCs as accurately as possible.
Results of the benchmark are reported in Microseconds.

FEATURES:
- Benchmarks MMU configuration effects on CPU performance
- Uses ECLOCK timing of timer.device
- Uses 64 Bit integer math FCs of utility.library (v39+)
(Uses 32 Bit integer math for older versions)
- 100% Assembler code

REQUIREMENTS:
- Amiga with 68040 or 68060 CPU and MMU
- 68040.library or 68060.library
- TurboMMU040+

DISCLAIMER:
Use at your own risk. No warranty expressed or implied, etc

DISTRIBUTION:
This program is freely distributable but must include this
text file.

USAGE:
- Copy this tool into your C: directory
- Open a shell and execute <TurboMMUbench>
- Execute <TurboMMU040>
- Execute <TurboMMUbench> again

WARNINGS:
- This tool disables multitasking for a short time (but not
interrupts). This seems to be a somewhat fair balance
between accuracy and system friendly operation.
- This tool may occasionly exit with a "Sorry, benchmark
took too long." message. This happens either to avoid
reporting bogus results or something even worse... the
infamous Divide by Zero exception!

NOTES:
- Do NOT expect the results to be exactly the same each time
the benchmark is executed. 68040s are moderately dynamic
in performance and 68060s are extremely dynamic!
- This tool was not intended for benchmark comparisons on
different systems but you want use it in this way, well I
guess that is your business.

HISTORY:
v1.0 - First release
v1.1 - Modified benchmark parameters for better accuracy
