|
|
An clocking hint source is any component that can provide hints as to the type of
|
|
clocking required for accurate emulation. A disk controller is an archetypal example.
|
|
|
|
Types of clocking are:
|
|
|
|
- none:
|
|
a component that acts and reacts to direct contact but does not have a state that autonomously evolves.
|
|
E.g. a ROM, RAM, or some kinds of disk controller when not in the process of performing a command.
|
|
|
|
- just-in-time:
|
|
a component that has an evolving state but can receive clock updates only immediately before a
|
|
direct contact. This is possibly the most common kind of component.
|
|
|
|
- real-time:
|
|
a component that needs to be clocked in 'real time' (i.e. in terms of the emulated machine). For example
|
|
so that it can announce an interrupt at the proper moment, because it is monitoring some aspect of
|
|
the machine rather than waiting to be called upon, or because there's some other non-obvious relationship
|
|
at play.
|
|
|
|
A clocking hint source can signal changes in preferred clocking to an observer.
|
|
|
|
This is intended to allow for performance improvements to machines with components that can be messaged selectively.
|
|
The observer callout is virtual so the intended use case is that a machine holds a component that might go through
|
|
periods of different clocking requirements.
|
|
|
|
Transitions should be sufficiently infrequent that a virtual call to announce them costs little enough that
|
|
the saved or deferred ::run_fors add up to a substantial amount.
|
|
|
|
The hint provided is just that: a hint. Owners may perform ::run_for at a greater frequency.
