The following benchmarks were performed using a x86_64 static build of
peanut-benchmark-rom at commit 738cfdad2cc1c3d4e8094ba171892bcb33c30f3a,
compiled using the following commands on Archlinux:
make OPT="-s -Ofast -march=native -mtune=native -static" CC=musl-gcc peanut-benchmark-rom
make OPT="-s -Ofast -march=native -mtune=native -static" CC="diet -Os gcc" peanut-benchmark-rom
make OPT="-s -Ofast -march=native -mtune=native -static" CC=gcc peanut-benchmark-rom
# Profile glibc build
make OPT="-s -Ofast -march=native -mtune=native -static -fprofile-generate" CC=gcc peanut-benchmark-rom
make OPT="-s -Ofast -march=native -mtune=native -static -fprofile-use" CC=gcc peanut-benchmark-rom
# Uncommenting line 160 to enable Interlaced mode before build
make OPT="-s -Ofast -march=native -mtune=native -static" CC=gcc peanut-benchmark-rom
# Changing define ENABLE_LCD to 0 before build
make OPT="-s -Ofast -march=native -mtune=native -static" CC=gcc peanut-benchmark-rom
The executables were executed with a ROM of Pokemon Blue (UE) on an Alpine Linux live operating system with no other running tasks, on an Intel 4770K CPU.
