Aries Performance
Perhaps the largest issue surrounding the execution of non-native code is performance. In some cases, the execution of non-native code can lead to unacceptable performance degradation. Performance under Aries depends on application characteristics.
HP has performed benchmarks comparing the performance of applications running native on PA-RISC to that of the same applications running under Aries on Itanium-based systems of comparable performance. The objective was to determine the amount of performance degradation that occurred when the application was moved from PA-RISC to Itanium and executed using the Aries dynamic code translation technology.
The results have shown that general commercial applications spending significant ...
