ST7 AND ST9 PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKING

1 OVERVIEW OF THE TEST ROUTINES

Eleven different test routines have been implemented in assembler language.

The first ten routines are oriented at measuring core computing performance. They are

based on known algorithms and represent currently used operations in 8-bit and low-end 16-

bit applications. They mix bit, 8-bit and 16-bit operations as many applications do.

This set of tests is described in Table 1.

Table 1. Test routine overview

Another test routine handling a timer interrupt has been used to measure core interrupt

processing performance:

A more precise description of the test routines is available in section 8.
