Is the FVP accurate in terms of measuring performance of programs? Is it cycle accurate? If I use clock_gettime to measure time taken on applications, is it meaningful? If not, is there an accurate way to measure performance of programs on the FVP?
Great, that is good to know. Of course I'll need to benchmark on real hardware in the end, but knowing that the numbers from the Fast Model are not completely off in this case is already quite helpful.
