Parameter

Type

Values

ace_mode

Boolean

true or false.

This statement enables the ACE mode if the CHARON-AXP license permits it. If this statement is omitted from the CHARON-AXP configuration file and the license permits it, "true" is the default, otherwise "false" is the default. For test purposes the ACE mechanism can be disabled with:

set cpu ace_mode=false

Info

"set cpu ace_mode=true" is ignored when the license does not permit ACE operation.

The CHARON-AXP log file displays the status of the ACE option.

The ACE mode is disabled when the host system does not meet the minimum physical requirements for this operation. If the emulator appears to not run at its normal performance, check the log file for a change in the ACE mode and verify that sufficient host resources, especially memory, are available.

The ACE mode can be additionally calibrated with "set ace" directive and the following parameters:
