I should like to have instruction timing data for the Motorola 68010 and 68020 in a machine-readable form suitable for use by a program. Where can I find it? I realise that caches and pipelines make the figures imprecise; worst-case figures would probably do for my application. More generally, which manufacturers provide machine-readable information about their machines? For instance, many people must have to type in the instruction code tables for use in compilers, assemblers, and linkers. This is tedious and error-prone, yet each manufacturer must presumably have done this once, and could make the tables available in some form for others to use. Perhaps they all do!
