Benchmarking DM3730 beagle board and enabling NEON

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM3730

Hi,

I'm new to OMAP processors and need to benchmark the Cortex-A8 based DM3730 beagle board in reference to an Intel i3 processor. I have installed the Ubuntu Maverick image on the beagle board successfully and was able to run some algorithms compiled with g++ compiler. It does get executed and show me the time taken for a large number of integer and floating point calculations. But I'm not sure if the Neon/VFP is enabled here. Can somebody suggest how to do that without changing the source code? Is it possible to use some g++ compiler options on command line to auto detect and enable them during floating point calculations.

Also, I want to display the current clock frequency of the OMAP processor during the certain operations. Any indicators would be real help.

Regards, Kjs
