[Simh] Reduce CPU usage

[Mark Pizzolato - Info Comm]

Hi Priya,

This is one of those "it works for me" cases.  Idling works fine for a VMS guest on my fc18 x86 test system.

What is the output of "SHOW VERSION" done at the "sim>" prompt?
What does your configuration file look like?

Hi,

The cpu usage while running the emulator is shown as 97% to 99%. Is there a way to reduce this?
And I tried setting the cpu idle but no use. CPU utilization is still high.

sim> show cpu
CPU     idle disabled, model=VAXServer 3900 (KA655), NOAUTOBOOT
        64MB, HALT to console
sim> SET CPU IDLE=VMS
sim> show cpu
CPU     idle=VMS, idle enabled, model=VAXServer 3900 (KA655), NOAUTOBOOT
        64MB, HALT to console

Host OS used is Linux. fc18.

Thanks,
Priya
