[2016] TCG Enhancements for PowerPC by Nikunj Dadhania

QEMU allows for emulating different target architectures using the TCG mode. TCG mode has been effectively used for validating pre-silicon systems. Developers have often used QEMU TCG to develop application stack before actually deploying them on real target architectures. Even though application development with TCG can be slow, the non-availability of early hardware is often a compelling reason to use TCG. This talk will focus on some of the enhancements that are in progress to support PowerPC architecture better in QEMU TCG mode. This includes the new PowerNV platform, support for upcoming POWER9 processor and its ISA. We will also look at some of the performance enhancements like multi-threaded TCG support for PowerPC.
