AM5748: About the available Dhrystone software

Genius 5840 points
Part Number: AM5748

Hello,

I would like to run the following Dhrystone software and evaluate with AM574x IDK.

URL is below:

http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/docs/05_01_00_11/linux/Release_Specific_Performance_Guide.html#dhrystone

I would like to get the software which can get same result as above.

Could you tell me where it is?

And I would appreciate it if you could tell me the procedure to make it work.

Regards,

U-SK

  • Hi U-SK,

    Dhrystone should typically be a part of the rootfs. Just boot to kernel prompt
    and type dhrystone. You should be able to run dhrystone without any addtional
    installation.

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

    Just Install the SDK and boot to Linux prompt on am574-idk. You should be able to run dhrystone
    related experiments.

  • Hi Keerthy,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I understand.

    Thank you.

    Then, I performed dhrystone command on AM574x idk.

    But result is following and it seems to different from below manual.

    Cpu_clock : 10MHz
    Dhrystones per Second : 5882353
    DMIP/MHz : 334.8

     

    Could you tell me possible reasons that makes defference?

    Regards,

  • Hi,

    Can you please try withn 1000000000 runs as input? Typically Dhrystone needs bigger runs
    to get you meaninful results.

    Dhrystones per Second:                    8849558.0

    That looks closer to you original post number.

  • Hi Keerthy,

    Thank you for your reply.

    >Can you please try withn 1000000000 runs as input?

    Could you tell me how to do it? (How should I write command?)

    Regards,

    U-SK

  • Hi,

    Just enter command:

    dhrystone


    It Gives output like below:

    "Dhrystone Benchmark, Version 2.1 (Language: C)
    Program compiled without 'register' attribute

    Please give the number of runs through the benchmark: "

    You can enter value 1000000000 & press enter.

    Finally you should see output line like below:

    "Dhrystones per Second:                    8849558.0"

    Hope you can resolve this thread.

    Regards,
    Keerthy
