【GD32E503评测】——04.MCU CoreMark性能测试 [复制链接]

    CoreMark是用来衡量嵌入式系统中中心处理单元（CPU，或叫做微控制器MCU）性能的标准。该标准于2009年由EEMBC组织的Shay Gla-On提出，并且试图将其发展成为工业标准，从而代替陈旧的Dhrystone标准。代码使用C语言写成，包含如下的运算法则：列举（寻找并排序），数学矩阵操作（普通矩阵运算）和状态机（用来确定输入流中是否包含有效数字），最后还包括CRC（循环冗余校验）。

    为什么不用Dhrystone，而用CoreMark呢？Dhrystone是测量处理器运算能力的最常见基准程序之一，常用于处理器的整型运算性能的测量。程序是用C语言编写的，因此C编译器的编译效率对测试结果也有很大影响，所以Dhrystone还有许多漏洞，比如易被非法利用、人为痕迹明显、代码长度太短、缺乏验证及标准的运行规则等。

 

    一、准备工作

    1.1.到CoreMark官网上去下载开源的源代码：https://www.eembc.org/coremark/index.php（点击网页上的Download，然后跳转到GitHub上下载源代码）

    1.2.在下载的CoreMark源码中，我们只使用到了simple中的port接口适配文件和根目录下的源文件

    1.3.基础工程是基于上篇文章的代码上进行添加的；

 

二、移植CoreMark

    2.1.将CoreMark源代码添加到项目工程，如下图所示

    2.2.将工程的Optimization配置到O3级别，添加CoreMark的头文件路径，如下图所示：

    2.3.修改原先的main函数，因为CoreMark代码自带一个main入口函数，所以需要屏蔽之前我们自己写的main函数，如所示：

/*******************************************************************************
 * @brief * @param       
 * @retval      
 * @attention *******************************************************************************/
int user_main(void)
{
    InitSystem();

    while(1)
    {
        TASK_Scheduling();

        MCU_DAC_OutputHandler();
    }
}

    2.4.修改SysTick_Handler函数，用于CoreMark运算过程中的计时处理，如所示：

/*!
    \brief      this function handles SysTick exception
    \param[in]  none
    \param[out] none
    \retval     none
*/
void SysTick_Handler(void)
{
#if 0
    SysTick_Tick++;
    TASK_TimeSlice(SysTick_Tick);
#else
    CoreMark_IncTick();
#endif
}

    2.5.在core_portme.c文件中添加移植的代码，如下所示：

三、运行调试

    将程序都移植完成后，对项目工程进行编译，编译无误后下载到开发板进行运行测试；

    在第一次下载运行后，串口就输出“ERROR! Must execute for at least 10 secs for a valid result!”的错误提示，如下图所示：

    执行的时间小于了10秒钟，我们修改了core_portme.c中的ITERATIONS这个宏定义值，将原先的2500修改到6000，再次尝试运行时，程序运行正常，测试结果如下所示：

    从上图我们可以看到CoreMark的测试结果值为576.6，当然这是基于上一个工程的基础上做的一个移植，程序运行还有可优化的空间，后面再继续研究！

AC5和AC6会有差异，而且优化等级也有影响。

５００多分不算高，ｓｔｍ３２Ｈ７可以达到２０００＋

576.6 代表什么意思？
