Performance Preview: Cached Interpreter
Published on 2015-08-01 | Archived on 2024-03-05
Dolphin's JITs only supports two CPU architectures currently. x86-64 and JITARM64; if you don't have either of these architectures and can compile Dolphin, you're stuck on the interpreter! The good news is that degasus has brought to us a much faster cached interpreter.
This will make faster to debug JIT issues from the interpreter, run Dolphin faster on unsupported CPUs, and text new platforms more quickly in the future.
The bad news? It's still magnitudes slower than the JITs!
This video was run on a Core i5 3570K processor, which was the limiting factor for performance. Watch the VPS up top for when it lags during strenuous parts!
