I haven't had a chance to get back and debug, but
is it true that simh
does NOT simulate the target machine's execution speed? I wrote a simple
'sum all words in track N' program for the LGP and it completed as soon
as I hit return! It should have taken many seconds... I did RTFM, so no
reference to it, but I haven't had time to go look at the source. Got
lazy and decided to post instead of research (typical, huh :-)
This is typical for most emulators, SIMH runs as fast as it can. For a lot
of things, this is the best behavior, but for software that somehow ties to
the speed of the computer it is running on, it's a bad thing.
