The benchmark application was built using BIOS.LibType_Custom with the following BIOS.customCCOpts settings: “–endian=little -mv7M4 –abi=eabi –float_support=fpv4spd16 -ms –opt_for_speed=2 –program_level_compile -o3”.

The M4F target also supports zero latency interrupts. See ti.sysbios.family.arm.m3.Hwi cdocs for details.

To minimize the effects of wait states, the performance measurements are collected at optimal CPU clock speeds on MSP432 and Tiva devices.

See the SYS/BIOS User’s Guide for more information regarding how interrupt latency is calculated.
