Windows 2000 then takes one of the following courses of action: When you run an x86 program, Windows 2000 automatically detects that it is not a native Alpha program, and searches for any existing optimized code associated with that program. You can use the x86 Programs utility to create a custom schedule, to optimize individual x86 programs after you run them, and to monitor optimization. Use the x86 Programs utility to control when optimization occurs.īecause optimization consumes a significant amount of system resources, it is scheduled by default to occur when your system is typically not in use. However, after you exit the x86 program, Windows 2000 uses a process called optimization to significantly increase the performance of that x86 program the next time you run it. The first time you run an x86 program, it runs relatively slow. The difference between running an x86 program and running a native Alpha program is what Windows 2000 does after you exit an x86 program.

The x86 Programs utility is a component of Windows 2000, and allows you to manage and monitor the optimization of x86 programs on your Alpha system.Īfter you add x86 programs to your Alpha system, you can run them as you would run native Alpha programs. For me Quake II will refuse to run after optimization of the native x86-executable.Īnd here you have some excerpts of fx!32 as written in the Help-file: So even if you rename the executable or put it to a different path - the optimization still is effective.īy the way: Seemingly you can also mess things up with Optimization. You can get here as you do normally when clicking on System in the Control Panel.Įven if the look suggests differently - the optimization process is not bound to the path of a specific executable.

After all this probably is the most notable difference between the normal Windows 2000 and the Windows 2000 for Alpha: Before I move on to playing around with another build, I thought I would send you some pictures of the built in fx!32-emulation Software that runs as a background service.
