According to
http://www.transmeta.com/pdf/white_papers/paper_aklaiber_19jan00.pdf
The BIOS and OS can set the size of the translation cache.
I guess increasing the size of the cache should result
in significant performance gain. Centainly, we can
have linux set it and see if anything improve.
However, I've read the BIOS programmer's guide
http://www.transmeta.com/crusoe_docs/TM5800_BIOSGuide_6-14-02.pdf
and doesn't find any clue, just be able to read the
size of memory that CMS has.
Anyone know how to do so? or know someone at transmeta that
I can consult about CMS?
I guess it might be a PCI register or two.
Linux lack of Persistent Translation service is another problem.
Anyone know whether transmeta going to write it for us?
