About

What is coremark?

CoreMark is an industry-standard, open-source benchmark designed to evaluate the performance of central processing units (CPU) and embedded microcontrollers (MCU). Its primary goals are simplicity and providing a method for testing only a processor's core features. The benchmark is highly portable, offering a thin abstraction layer for I/O and timing. It includes various make targets for building and running, supporting cross-compilation and parallel execution. CoreMark also provides clear rules for submitting and reporting results, ensuring consistency and validity across different platforms and configurations. It's an essential tool for developers and engineers working with embedded systems to assess and compare hardware performance.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of CoreMark?

CoreMark is designed to measure the performance of central processing units (CPU) and embedded microcontrollers (MCU). It focuses on testing only the core features of a processor, providing a simple and standardized benchmark for embedded systems.

How do I build and run CoreMark on a typical Linux system?

On a typical Linux system, you can build and run CoreMark by simply typing 'make' in the terminal. This will generate log files with the benchmark results, including the CoreMark score.

Can CoreMark be used for cross-compilation?

Yes, CoreMark supports cross-compilation. You need to adjust 'core_portme.mak', 'core_portme.h', and potentially 'core_portme.c' for your specific platform. It's recommended to copy a default port folder and modify those files.

What are the rules for reporting CoreMark results?

Results must be reported using a specific syntax, including the iterations per second, compiler version and flags, memory allocation specifics, and type of parallel execution if used. The benchmark must run for at least 10 seconds for valid reporting.
