I am working with Beaglebone AI, which has its CLOUD 9 IDE, and the software tool is TIDL with OpenCL and c++ wrappers.

My question is -

In the neural network models implemented using TIDL, How do measure the host and co-processor runtime/execution time separately? Using what concept?

In general OpenCL code like vecadd (vector addition) , I was able to make used profiling events to measure the runtime, but I have no idea how to do the same with imagenet or ssd_multibx codes. Please help...

Hi Kavya, checking inside Linux PSDK filesystem /usr/share/ti/tidl/ I see there are some TImeStamps, and a GetProcessTimeMiliSeconds() functions in utils.cpp. I haven't personally use them, but I see there is a test TIDL example which use ReportTime().

Please take a look as probably you could use them for your purpose.

thank you,

Paula

As you can see in the figure, I couldn't find the utils.cpp file in tidl folder. How do I get the Linux PSDK file system, by the way, I am using Windows OS should I shift to LINUX OS?

Hi Kavya, I gave you the upper level folder, utils.cpp is actually inside tidl_api/src/

thank you,

Paula

Hi Kavya, I am not familiar with Debian image for BBAI.

One option is to get Linux PSDK image/SDK from below link (at least as a reference):

http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/AM57X/latest/index_FDS.html

hope this helps,

Paula
