Compiler/AM5716: the benchmark comparison for TI-CGT and GCC

Part Number: AM5716
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TI-CGT

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hello,

I'm considering a compiler for Cortex-A15. Which is better, TI-CGT (v16.x or higher) and GCC (v6-2017-q1) about code size and speed?

I referred to the old TI WIKI of AM335x StarterWare.
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/StarterWare_NeonVFP_Benchmark

The above is a little different from what I want, but anyway do you have any information like compiler benchmark comparison? I believe TI-CGT is better than GCC.

Regards,
Kazu

    TI has never made that claim.  I'm not aware of any benchmarks which compare these two compilers.

    The highest ARM Cortex CPU directly supported by the TI compiler is Cortex-A8.  Code built for Cortex-A8 works on a Cortex-A15, but does not use any features or instructions introduced with Cortex-A15.  The GCC ARM compiler directly supports Cortex-A15.

    Thanks and regards,
