Question About the comparison of C6713 and tms320vc33 for performance speed

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6713B

I would like to replace sm320vc33-120ep (vc33) with tms320c6713b (c6713) on the board.

so using the c6713 and vc33 on board, I tested the performance of calculation speed and the interface speed of peripheral part.

* tested environment

 -- only coded in c language

 -- the board used the external bootloader / flash memory.

1. performance of calculation speed

/** Addition**/

void TestSpeed_Add(void)
{
float i,r;
r=0.0;
LedMastOff();
for(i=0;i<999;i+=1)
{
r += i;
}
LedMastOn();
}

/**Subtraction **/

void TestSpeed_Sub(void)
{
float i,r;
r=0.0;
LedMastOff();
for(i=0;i<999;i+=1)
{
r -= i;
}
LedMastOn();
}

/**Multiply**/

void TestSpeed_Mul(void)
{
float i,r;
r=1.0;
LedMastOff();
for(i=1;i<14;i+=1)
{
r *= i;
}
LedMastOn();
}

/**Divide**/

void TestSpeed_Div(void)
{
float i,r;
r = 1.0;
LedMastOff();
for(i=1;i<13;i+=1)
{
r /= i;
}
LedMastOn();
}

2. interface speed of peripheral part

/**LED Turn on/off**/

void TestSpeed_InterfaceBoard(void)
{
LedMastOff();
LedMastOn();
}

measuring the test data

Calculation                      VC33                      C6713

Addition                           233us                      79.8us

Subtraction                     233us                      78.8us

Multiply                             3us                         1.08us

Divide                             11.6us                      7.76us

LED on/off                       100ns                      500ns

------------------------------------------------------------------

MIPS(datasheet)             60                            1600

MFLOP(datasheet)        120                           1200

according to datasheet, c63713(200Mhz)'s mips spec is 26 times faster than vc33 and mflop spec is 10 times faster.

after testing, I found that c6713's performance speed is 2.5 times faster than vc33.

I would like to know why the measures as described above table and please advise if there is a more accurate measure than the above method.

Best regards.
