Abstract:
A new, DSP-oriented benchmarking methodology is presented. Contrary to the existing, assembly-based DSP benchmarks, the proposed methodology is able to evaluate the performance of DSP compilers and joint compiler/processor systems. The introduced reference code method delivers reliable and comparable benchmarking results. As an example, the DSPstone methodology is applied on a set of five state-of-the-art fixed-point digital signal processors with appropriate C compilers. The Analog Devices 2101, AT&T 1610, Motorola 56001, NEC 77016 and TI 320C51 DSP C compilers are benchmarked under the DSPstone, and the results are reported.
