(1) The benchmark application was built using BIOS.LibType_Custom with the following compiler options:
"-mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard -mabi=aapcs -O3 -g -Wunused -Wunknown-pragmas -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -g -Dti_sysbios_Build_useHwiMacros -Dfar= -D__DYNAMIC_REENT__".
Timings were obtained using the evmAM3359 development board.
The A8 core was running at 550MHz, with L1 & L2 caches enabled, and all code placed in OCMC0 and data placed in DDR3.
To maximize performance, all code and data memory sections are prefetched and locked into the L2 cache at startup.
Unlike other target benchmarks that are collected using flat memory simulators or hardware with zero wait-state memory and no cache, these A8F numbers are collected on a real board with cache enabled. These numbers are effected by varying amounts of cache filling depending on the dynamics of the cache and the previous function calls.
