2017-11-17 | Speed up Dhrystone on the HiFive1 | Palmer Dabbelt | |
There's a handful of things that went wrong here: * The read-only data sections were mapped to flash, which is very slow. I just put them in the data segment, so they end up in the scratchpad. This is about a 10x hit, so it's really important. * The toolchain was an old version, which didn't have a fast memcpy implementation on 32-bit systems. This is about a 2x hit. * Some compiler flags were incorrect, including * -Os instead of -O3 * Missing -mexplicit-relocs * Missing -DNOENUM * Missing -falign-functions=4 I haven't checked how much those hurt With this, I get $ make software BOARD=freedom-e300-hifive1 PROGRAM=dhrystone LINK_TARGET=dhrystone $ make upload BOARD=freedom-e300-hifive1 PROGRAM=dhrystone LINK_TARGET=dhrystone Execution starts, 10000000 runs through Dhrystone Execution ends Final values of the variables used in the benchmark: Int_Glob: 5 should be: 5 Bool_Glob: 1 should be: 1 Ch_1_Glob: A should be: A Ch_2_Glob: B should be: B Arr_1_Glob[8]: 7 should be: 7 Arr_2_Glob[8][7]: 10000010 should be: Number_Of_Runs + 10 Ptr_Glob-> Ptr_Comp: -2147470264 should be: (implementation-dependent) Discr: 0 should be: 0 Enum_Comp: 2 should be: 2 Int_Comp: 17 should be: 17 Str_Comp: DHRYSTONE PROGRAM, SOME STRING should be: DHRYSTONE PROGRAM, SOME STRING Next_Ptr_Glob-> Ptr_Comp: -2147470264 should be: (implementation-dependent), same as above Discr: 0 should be: 0 Enum_Comp: 1 should be: 1 Int_Comp: 18 should be: 18 Str_Comp: DHRYSTONE PROGRAM, SOME STRING should be: DHRYSTONE PROGRAM, SOME STRING Int_1_Loc: 5 should be: 5 Int_2_Loc: 13 should be: 13 Int_3_Loc: 7 should be: 7 Enum_Loc: 1 should be: 1 Str_1_Loc: DHRYSTONE PROGRAM, 1'ST STRING should be: DHRYSTONE PROGRAM, 1'ST STRING Str_2_Loc: DHRYSTONE PROGRAM, 2'ND STRING should be: DHRYSTONE PROGRAM, 2'ND STRING Microseconds for one run through Dhrystone: 1.3 Dhrystones per Second: 714285.6 which is 1.55 DMIPS/MHz at 262 MHz. It's still a bit slower than our current stuff, but I don't remember what was actually in the HiFive1 so I'm not sure what we should be getting. I verified the clock is accurate with a stopwatch. I haven't bothered to go look through the binary, but I think we're about 10 cycles off so it should be managable. | |||

2017-01-03 | Compile Dhrystone without RVC | Andrew Waterman | |
Branch target misalignment reduces performance by about 10%. | |||
2017-01-03 | Regularize timing code | Andrew Waterman | |
Provide get_timer_value() and get_timer_freq() and use them. On Arty, they use mcycle and the known-fixed core frequency, whereas on HiFive1 they use mtime and the known-fixed mtime frequency. | |||
2016-12-14 | Refactor libc stubs into libwrap | Albert Ou | |
The --wrap feature of GNU ld supports a cleaner framework for linking in alternative implementations of libc functions without cpp hacks. Place wrappers in separate object files to reduce static code size. | |||
2016-11-30 | Bump Everything to Match new Freedom Repo (#8) | Megan Wachs | |
* Bump tool versions * Use version of OpenOCD which can load programs into flash * Bump OpenOCD to Handle ISSI Flash Programming * Update Header files * add initial support for hifive1 * add dhrystone * add clock helper functions * add openocd cfg file * Demo_GPIO checkpoint -- compiles and runs but no blinky LEDs * Remove riscv-tests submodule * Remove FPGA files, as they are no longer relevant to this Repository * Add openocd_upload script * Add Pinmux Mappings Adding the pinmux mappings to the Platform Header * Add IOF Mappings to platform header * Re-order the IOF Mapping declarations * Add more useful things to platform headers * Get GPIO Demo working again (except interrupts aren't working) * Update README with more OS packages needed A bare ubuntu-16.04.1-server installation could not run `make tools` without these packages. * bump openocd to get SCKDIV fix * Remove duplicated help text for run_debug target * Add package to README that is needed for openocd build Without this package I was seeing two different failures like below when running `make tools`. /home/scottj/freedom-e-sdk/openocd/configure: line 4533: syntax error near unexpected token `0.23' /home/scottj/freedom-e-sdk/openocd/configure: line 4533: `PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG(0.23)' Makefile:70: recipe for target '/home/scottj/freedom-e-sdk/toolchain/bin/openocd' failed make: *** [/home/scottj/freedom-e-sdk/toolchain/bin/openocd] Error 2 ... or ... + autoconf configure.ac:12: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
