NU32v2: Benchmark Test
From Mech
*** UNDER CONSTRUCTION ***
Benchmarking is a useful tool in testing how fast a processor can run. With the PIC32, we are primarily interested in seeing how fast its CPU can perform mathematical operations.
Overview
Details
The common arithmetic operators, multiplication (*), division(/), addition (+), and subtraction (-) were tested on the PIC32. Because timing results can vary depending on which C data type (char, short, int, long long, float, and double) is used, the final table includes the number of cycles a particular operator and data type pair took to compute.
A small subset of the built-in mathematical functions defined in <math.h> were also tested.
