Dhrystone Benchmark

©️ Original sources from https://github.com/sifive/benchmark-dhrystone (also, see LICENSE). The source code has been modified for the NEORV32 processor.

To compile the NEORV32 executable:

neorv32/sw/example/dhrystone$ sh dhrystone.sh

The default number of iterations is 2000000. You can modify this by changing USER_FLAGS+=-DDHRY_ITERS=2000000 in dhrystone.sh. The default optimization level (EFFORT) is O3.

⚠️ Dhrystone will require an IMEM size of 16kB and a DMEM size of 16kB. The MTIME machine timer is used for timing evaluation.

🚧 Porting Dhrystone is still work-in-progress. Performance results might be incorrect and not optimized. All results only show the integer parts.

Exemplary Output

Output generated for processor HW version v1.5.9.1 using performance-optimized configuration options.

NEORV32: Processor running at 100000000 Hz
