Performance Acceleration Technology
What is performance acceleration technology?
Is it built into the processor, or is it a component of the motherboard? Are earlier Pentium processors able to take advantage of this, or is a Pentium IV or higher required? For example, can a Pentium II, or Pentium III utilize performance acceleration technology? What about x86 processors not made by Intel (such as a Cyrix or AMD processor)? Can these utilize performance acceleration technology? Is there anything that has to be done from a coding point of view (either from a kernel point of view, or within an application) in order to activate or operate performance acceleration technology?

The first tool you need, when trying to navigate this landscape, is an Intel Marketdroid BS Sniffer. I have a version the does pretty well running under CP/M (I run it on my 6MHz z80 SoftCard from Microsoft), but I haven't yet found the time to modernize it, so busy am I dealing with all the ignorant crap I get when posting to this particularly besmirched forum. Once you have recognized the key signature (Intel MarketSpeak), the rest is easy. Google on "performance acceleration technology"+intel and take your pick. Some of the darkest, most closely-guarded secrets in the business have to do with the details of accessing memory. Maybe a comment like that will pull some know-it-alls out of the woodwork. Once they've arrived, you won't need me, because they know *everything*, even things that haven't yet been discovered. In the meanwhile, I wouldn't worry about it too much because, not only is it MarketSpeak, but it is a "solution" to yesterday's Big Problem. Just let me get out of here, and you can unleash the pitbulls with brains to match. Robert. |
