Abstract

Application speedups can be achieved by speeding up the hardware, e.g. by utilising an Operating System co-processor. The paper present results from a comparison of executing benchmark programs on a system with and without a co-processor, but which otherwise are identical. The observed speedup is mostly due to the fact that there is no need for clock tick administration, in the system with co-processor, and that the booster scheduler is faster than the software based one. In general the system calls are faster without the co-processor for the benchmark considered in this paper. This is mostly due to the slow bus accesses when communicating with the co-processor.
