Ivan could you expand a bit on what is being compared?

You’re saying Josh compiled the xv68k emulator, targeting Mill silver, and then compiled it again targeting the 68k, then ran the emulator on the emulator, then inside that inner emulator ran hello world?

And then we are comparing the number of instructions the Mill executed during the whole run vs the number reported by the outer emulator that a real 68k would have run emulating itself running hello world?

Also is this using the C++-as-mill-assembly approach detailed in the talks or is this FPGA?

Also the lack of inlining, pipelining etc is regarding the Mill, not the emulated 68k, right?
