Subject: [Gems-users] Ruby cycles and Instructions executed
Dear List readers:
     I have observed an interesting discrepency
between the ruby cycles and instructions executed. In
the middle of my simulation, I would receive a magic
call and record the ruby cycle number RC1 and the
instruction executed IE1 at that cycle. Then, I ran my
simulation until completion and record the ruby cycle
RC2  and instruction executed IE2 again. So, my
problem is RC2 - RC1 < IE2 -IE1. Could that be
possible? If I recall correctly, each ruby cycle can
only execute one instruction and my simulation is run
in a uniprocessor environment.  
    Thanks in advance for any reply.


Regards
James
