    I will be happy to test it.

    My Sam460LE 1.14 GHz is on testbed now, with unfinished hw configuration:
    AmigaOS is installed on PCI SATA SSD, has powerfull gfx
    MorphOS is installed on SD card, has only moderate HD 6670 gfx

    So my question is - what type of perftest it is - i.e. is it important to have a fast drive and graphics?

    If yes, we have to wait for my proper MOS installation and fast gfx card - something like HD 6870.

    Thanks, this is the same result as I got from one other user. OS4 version gives the correct result, but on MorphOS it's random for some reason on Sam, but not on the Macs I've tried. I wonder if it's a cache coherency issue or something else.. have to try to figure out...

    If someone gets different kind of results on Sam, or finds other platform with other than "5 items" results, please let me know.

    If you’ll share your code you’ll got your answer for sure.

    It's Hollywood code, so my code doesn't help. I guess it's an issue with Hollwood, C compiler used with Hollywood, or in MorphOS, but I need some example data and confirmations before passing bug reports further to any direction :)

    If I may ask: does that mean, that all Sam460 boards are "officially" supported to boot both, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS? Or only be means of any "special tricks"?

    Thanks!

    "officially" is question for Morphos team ;-)

    In real, Sam460LE works fine with AmigaOS, MorphOS and Debian 8.
    I have only two issues with MorphOS:
    - not working PCIe CMI8738 audio card
    - not boots with SiI 3132 controller
    But both of isuues should be workarounded.

    "special tricks" are needed only if you want to install linux, or if you want to have MorphOS + simultaneously AmigaOS on SFS02 partition. Hyperbootloader normally recognized only SFS partitions.

    The only real issue is selection of graphics card. ;-)
    The best compromise if using all three systems is:
    economic: HD 6670 ( 66 W )
    powerful: HD 6870 ( 151 W ), HD 5870 ( 188 W )

    I just now writing some articles ;-)

    to be fair, there issues with other OSes:

    AmigaOS:
    Radeon drivers have no working GART feature ( but has 3D and video acceleration ).

    Debian:
    Non-working 3D acceleration even on cards with powerpc big-endian drivers ( radeon: ring 0 test failed ). 2D acceleration and GART works.
    EDIT: 2D not works, only shadow drm framebuffer.

    Both of them probably connected with L2 cache coherency ( CPU snooper in some cases not guarantees it ). I am not sure, how it is solved in MophOS drivers.

    Make it write the test prefs file to RAM: instead of disk and see if it makes a difference (on Sam460).
