Emulator Performance Improvements

4.1 MMU-Pass-through

With SSP version 6 we introduced the MMU-Pass-through (Memory-Management-Unit Pass-Through) which can significantly improve performance in virtual environments such as cloud.

4.2 SSP+

The "plus" version of SSP, which can only be deployed on physical hardware ("bare-metal"), uses the CPU and I/O virtualization capabilities of modern Intel and AMD processors to improve emulator CPU performance, which can be between 10 and 30%, depending on the workload. Unfortunately this comes with a penalty for I/O operations, so SSP+ can not always improve overall workload performance.
