dhrystone and whetstone benchmarks

[Pito]

I have got BlackF407 board with 407ZET (144pin) on it (plus 512kB 10ns sram soldered in).
I do upload via J-Link (clone) with J-flash utility (set to SWD @4MHz).
Then I have to unplug/plug the USB cable, the RST does not start the stuff after upload..
It seems USB code needs some fix.

I have Jlink's too
But mostly i use ST-Linkv2 or BMP , BMP is so easy (I'd expect even more on Win)

I made a BMP out of a BluePill here

Try it out

Though i agree the J-link is nice ....

When looking at the historical whetstone result data - the big CPUs get higher MWIPS, but much lower MFLOPs at the same clock.

Also I do not understand you got 100 MWIPS @96MHz (411) and @168MHz (407) we get 98.
There must be a subtle bug in the code somewhere.
The historical results show nice linear dependency MWIPS on clock.

I do assume we should see something like 150 MWIPS @168MHz (407).

I would suggest small changes in the code, wait..

In the original code it was double

Code: Select all

double  theseSecs = 0.0;
double  startSecs = 0.0;
double  secs = 0.0;

Also you may use micros() to get better resolution

Code: Select all

void getSecs()
{
  theseSecs =  micros() / 1000000.0;
  return;
}

I doubt it helps, however, you may try..

PS: is the ART enabled in the STM core ????

[fpiSTM]

For DISCO F407, I think yes.
https://github.com/stm32duino/Arduino_C ... t.cpp#L191

For the black no.

@fpiSTM

My disco F407 is old --- Like bought within 1yr from 1'st release ... Prob no ART in that one.
Also makes the timings consistent w. My Disco & Pito's Black F407

Where do i find the PLL settings for the PILLF401 - I have no idea what speed my F411 (selected as F401) is running ??

/Bingo

One could use a few support routines ..

int Board_Init_Parms(int *HSx_Speed; int HSE_Enabled, int *PLL_Speed, int *ART_Enabled) or the likes ....
Maybe passing a struct would be better.

Interesting things could be :
What clocktype are we running : Direct , HSE , HSI
What is the PLL Speed in MHz (0) for No PLL
What ART level are we running ??
ABP1 / ABP2

Well give me all

All clock config are in the variant, in SystemClock_Config.

Seems like the PILLF401 runs 84MHz

WUTTT ... I Can't upload a 98KB image
Is there a limit of 100K on pics ??
That must be raised a bit ...

Can the F4 run w. 2 Flash waitstates @96MHz (I'm lazy)

All F4xx ever have got the ART.
It has to be enabled, then it does not matter how many ws you have (the ART accelerate the flash access).
You may overclock to 2ws @96MHz, it may or may not work.

Seems like OLD F4's doesn't , hence the check
