Good day.

Would some people on x86 (both 32 and 64) be kind enough to compile and run
the attached program? This is about testing how long I/O port access to port
0x80 takes. It measures in CPU cycles so CPU speed is crucial in reporting.

Posted a previous incarnation of this before, buried in the outb 0x80 thread
which had a serialising problem. This one should as far as I can see measure
the right thing though. Please yell if you disagree...

For me, on a Duron 1300 (AMD756 chipset) I have a constant:

rene@7ixe4:~/src/port80$ su -c ./port80
cycles: out 2400, in 2400

and on a PII 400 (Intel 440BX chipset) a constant:

rene@6bap:~/src/port80$ su -c ./port80
cycles: out 553, in 251

Results are (mostly) independent of compiler optimisation, but testing with
an -O2 compile should be most useful. Thanks!

Rene.

On my AMD 3800 X2 (2000MHz) ULi M1697 2.6.24-rc5 i get:

cycles: out 1844674407370808, in 1844674407369087

It is not constant but variations are not significant afaics
