* Remove HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT and dl_hp_timing_overheadRichard Henderson2014-07-031-6/+1
| | | | | Without HP_TIMING_ACCUM, dl_hp_timing_overhead is write-only. If we remove it, there's no point in HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT either.
* Make bench.out in json formatSiddhesh Poyarekar2014-03-291-10/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the output format of the main benchmark output file (bench.out) to an extensible format. I chose JSON over XML because in addition to being extensible, it is also not too verbose. Additionally it has good support in python. The significant change I have made in terms of functionality is to put timing information as an attribute in JSON instead of a string and to do that, there is a separate program that prints out a JSON snippet mentioning the type of timing (hp_timing or clock_gettime). The mean timing has now changed from iterations per unit to actual timing per iteration.

| | | | * benchtests/bench-timing.h: Include time.h.
* benchtests: Rename argument to TIMING_INIT macro.Will Newton2013-09-111-8/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TIMING_INIT macro currently sets the number of loop iterations to 1000, which limits usefulness. Make the argument a clock resolution value and multiply by 1000 in bench-skeleton.c instead to allow easier reuse. ChangeLog: 2013-09-11 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> * benchtests/bench-timing.h (TIMING_INIT): Rename ITERS parameter to RES. Remove hardcoded 1000 value. * benchtests/bench-skeleton.c (main): Pass RES parameter to TIMING_INIT and multiply result by 1000.
* benchtests: Switch string benchmarks to use bench-timing.h.Will Newton2013-09-041-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Switch the string benchmarks to using bench-timing.h instead of hp-timing.h directly. This allows the string benchmarks to be run usefully on architectures such as ARM that do not have support for hp-timing.h. In order to do this the tests have been changed from timing each individual call and picking the lowest execution time recorded to timing a number of calls and taking the mean execution time. ChangeLog: 2013-09-04 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> * benchtests/bench-timing.h (TIMING_PRINT_MEAN): New macro. * benchtests/bench-string.h: Include bench-timing.h instead of including hp-timing.h directly. (INNER_LOOP_ITERS): New define. (HP_TIMING_BEST): Delete macro. (test_init): Remove call to HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT. * benchtests/bench-memccpy.c: Use bench-timing.h macros instead of hp-timing.h macros. * benchtests/bench-memchr.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-memcmp.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-memcpy.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-memmem.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-memmove.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-memset.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-rawmemchr.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strcasecmp.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strcasestr.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strcat.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strchr.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strcmp.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strcpy.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strcpy_chk.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strlen.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strncasecmp.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strncat.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strncmp.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strncpy.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strnlen.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strpbrk.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strrchr.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strspn.c: Likewise. * benchtests/bench-strstr.c: Likewise.
* Use HP_TIMING for benchmarks if availableSiddhesh Poyarekar2013-05-131-0/+72
HP_TIMING uses native timestamping instructions if available, thus greatly reducing the overhead of recording start and end times for function calls. For architectures that don't have HP_TIMING available, we fall back to the clock_gettime bits. One may also override this by invoking the benchmark as follows: make USE_CLOCK_GETTIME=1 bench and get the benchmark results using clock_gettime. One has to do `make bench-clean` to ensure that the benchmark programs are rebuilt.
