CPU 

...

The CHARON-

...

AXP CPU can be calibrated with "set ace" directive and the following parameters:

enabled

Parameterenabled
TypeBoolean
Value

A CHARON-AXP emulated CPU is configured with the "enabled" command enabling the high performance Advanced CPU Emulation mode ("ACE"). The ACE option optimizes the HP Alpha instruction interpretation and significantly improves performance. It also requires approximately twice the amount of host memory allocated by CHARON instance itself to store the optimized code (Note that 2Gb of host memory + the amount of HP Alpha memory emulated per each CHARON instance is required).

ACE optimization is performed dynamically during execution. It does not need to write optimized code back to disk, ACE provides its full capability instantly. The optimization does not compromise the HP Alpha instruction decoding; CHARON-AXP remains fully HP Alpha hardware compatible and completely transparent to the HP Alpha operating systems and applications.

 

Parameter

Type

Values

ace_mode

Boolean

true or false.

This statement enables the ACE mode if the CHARON-

This configuration setting enables the ACE mode if the CHARON-AXP license permits it. If this

statement is

configuration setting 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

Example:

set
cpu
ace
_mode
enabled = false
Info

"set

cpu

ace

_mode

enabled=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 not 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:

Parameter

Type

Description

cpu_architectureText String

cpu_architecture

Parameter

cpu_architecture

Type

Text String

Value

Specifies the architecture of the virtual Alpha CPU. Can be one of the following: EV4, EV45, EV5, EV56, EV6, EV67, EV68

Example:

set ace cpu_architecture = EV6

Refer to this section to find an appropriate value of the HP Alpha architecture per each HP Alpha model supported by CHARON-AXP.

cache_size

Parameter

cache_size

TypeNumeric
Value

"cache_size" defines the amount of memory in megabytes allocated to the ACE cache.

The default value of the cache_size set to 1GB (1024 MB).

Example:

set ace cache_size=2048

RAM  

The CHARON-AXP memory subsystem is permanently loaded and has the logical name "ram". 

size

Parametersize
Type

...

Numeric

...

Value

...

Size of the emulated memory in MB.

 

Example

...

set ram size = 2048

 

The amount of memory is capped at a maximum, this is defined in the CHARON license key. If the host system cannot allocate enough memory to map the requested emulated memory, CHARON-AXP generates an error message in the log file and reduces its effective memory size.The

The following table lists the values of emulated RAM for various hardware models of virtual HP Alpha systems:

...

CHARON-AXP maintains its time and date using the "toy" (time-of-year) component. In order to preserve the time and date while a virtual system is not running, the TOY component uses a binary file on the host system to store the date and time relevant data. The name of the file is specified by the “container” option of the "toy" component.

container

Parametercontainer
Type
Description
containerText string
Value

Specifies a name for the file in which CHARON-AXP preserves the time and date during its “offline” period. This file also keeps some console parameters (such as the default boot device).

By default it is left unspecified.

(info) it is recommended to specify the full path to the TOY file.

sync_to_host

,
Parametersync_to_host
TypeText string
Value

Specifies whether and how the guest OS time is synchronized with the CHARON host time.

Syntax:

set TOY sync_to_host = "{as_vms | as_tru64 | as_is}[, nowrite]"

where:

ParameterDescription
as_vmsIf the guest OS is OpenVMS/AXP and its date and time must be set to the host's date and time each time it boots.
as_tru64If the guest OS is Tru64 UNIX and its date and time must be set to the host's date and time each time it boots.
as_isIf the TOY date and time must be set to the host's UTC date and time
nowriteDisable undesirable updates to the TOY from the guest OS.

Example:

set TOY sync_to_host = "as_vms, nowrite"

To synchronize the guest OS with TOY, use the following commands (from "SYSTEM"/"root" account):

On OpenVMS/AXPOn Tru64 UNIX
$ set time
# date -u `consvar -g date | cut -f 3 -d ' '`

The default value is "not specified" - it means that by default CHARON does not synchronize its guest OS time with the CHARON host time

but collects date and time from the file specified with "container" parameter.

(warning) If "sync_to_host" parameter is specified there is no need to specify "container" parameter in addition.

Example

...

set toy container="C:\Charon\my_virtual_system.dat"

...

The System Flash ROM file conserves specific parameters between reboots.

...

container

Parametercontainer
Type

...

Text string
Value

Specifies the name of a file in which CHARON-AXP stores an intermediate state of its Flash ROM. This state includes, for example, most of the console parameters.

By default it is left unspecified.

(info) it is recommended to specify the full path to this file

Example:

set rom container=

...

"C:\Charon\my_virtual_system.

...

rom"

system_name

Parametersystem_name
TypeText string
Value

Allows changing the system name, for example:

set rom system_name=

...

"Alpha Server 1000 4/

...

200"

Refer to this section to find an appropriate value of the HP Alpha system name per each HP Alpha model supported by CHARON-AXP

system_serial_number

Parametersystem_serial_number
TypeText string
Value

Allows changing the system serial number, for example:

set rom system_serial_number = NY12345678

Any sequence of characters can be used as a serial number. Sequences longer than 16 symbols are truncated to 16 symbols.

Serial Numbers should be according to DEC standard: 10 characters. First two characters are capital letters, remaining 8 characters are decimal digits.

By default it is set to SN01234567

dsrdb

Parameterdsrdb[n]
TypeNumeric

...

Value

DSRDB - Dynamic System Recognition Data Block. These parameters allow changing the emulated hardware model type.

dsrdb[0] stands for SMM - System Marketing Model.

Example:

set rom dsrdb[0]=1090

This section describes connection between "dsrdb" parameter and the rest of the parameters defining an exact HP Alpha model - including SMM.

version

...

Parameterversion
TypeText string
Value

Sets Console and PAL code versions in the following way:

FunctionCommand
Set SRM Console version to X.Y-Z
set rom version[0] = x.y-z
Set OpenVMS PAL code version to X.Y-Z
set rom version[1] = x.y-z
Set Tru64 UNIX PAL code version to X.Y-Z
set rom version[2] = x.y-z

Example:

set rom version[0] = 7.3-1 version[1] = 1.98-104 version[2] = 1.92-105

Virtual HP Alpha interval timer

The CHARON-AXP  provides provides interval timer interrupts to virtual Alpha CPU(s) at frequency 100Hz (100 interrupts a second).

...

Value of the parameter is interval timer period in microseconds. By default it is set to 10000. By changing it to 1000 frequency of virtual interval timer interrupts may be increased to 1000Hz (1000 interrupts per second).

clock_period

Type
Parameter
Description
clock_period
TypeNumeric
Value

Specifies period of interval timer, in microseconds. Only two values are supported:

  • 10000 (which corresponds to 100Hz interval timer)
  • 1000 (which corresponds to 1000Hz interval timer)

By default it is set to 10000.

Example for AlphaServer 400, DS, ES, GS

...

set ISA clock_period=1000

Example for AlphaServer 800, 1000, 1000A, 1200, 2000, 2100, 4000, 4100

...

set EISA clock_period=1000

...

It is important to have the "system_name", "hw_model", "cpu_architecture" and "dsrdb[0n]" (DSRB DSRDB - Dynamic System Recognition Data Block) parameters in sync. (see above for details) to configure CHARON-AXP to for emulation of a particular HP Alpha model.

The following table illustrates tables illustrate how to synchronize those values:
