Have you tried this with more than just the VAX
version of SIMH? I'm
wondering how much of an improvement I'd see with the PDP-11 version of
SIMH, and KLH10 (KLH's PDP-10 emulator).
I was using it last year to do some simple benchmarks onthe PDP-10
simulators and the Intel compiler at that time handliy beat the MS and
Borland ones in speed of compiled code. Intel recently released new
improved versions.
Does the compiler put any kind of a time limit on how
long you can run the
executables that you generate?
The Linux version can be downloaded and used without restriction for
personal use, the Windows version comes with a 30 day evaluation period.
Ther is not restriction on executables generated that I know of.
