[REPORT] [GSoC - TCG Continuous Benchmarking] [#3] QEMU 5.0 and 5.1-pre-soft-freeze Dissect Comparison

[Ahmed Karaman]

Hi,

The third report of the TCG Continuous Benchmarking series utilizes
the tools presented in the previous report for comparing the
performance of 17 different targets across two versions of QEMU. The
two versions addressed are 5.0 and 5.1-pre-soft-freeze (current state
of QEMU).

After summarizing the results, the report utilizes the KCachegrind
tool and dives into the analysis of why all three PowerPC targets
(ppc, ppc64, ppc64le) had a performance degradation between the two
QEMU versions.
