Sipeed Maix Bit (Kendryte K210) benchmark

[dimitre]

Hello Paul, congrats on the release of Teensy 4.0 I'm looking forward to use it. I've just tested the Sipeed Maix Bit (Kendryte K210) here with your CoreMark, and I'm sharing the results in the case you think it is interesting.

What's the operating frequency for your maix bit when doing the test? 400 Mhz? Have u tried the 600 Mhz or higher?

I've tried both but they gave me the same result so I've opened this https://github.com/sipeed/Maixduino/issues/46

I've tried with ArduinoCore-k210 and it gave different results, but the same results for 400 and 600 mhz too.

That would be single core rightI?

Hello Paul, one big thank you for shearing your CodeMark code. I used it to benchmark my Sipeed Maix Bit's - Kendryte K210 64bit MCU using Arduino IDE and all looks promising while Optimization level was Os,O1 and O2, but unfortunately with -O3 and -Ofast options code do not pass compiling. I get error massages like this one:

C:\Users\Jovan\Documents\Arduino\CoreMark-master-22\core_list_join.c: In function 'core_bench_list':
core_list_join.c:138:12: error: 'info.data16' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  list_data info;
            ^~~~
cc1.exe: some warnings being treated as errors
exit status 1
'info.data16' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]_

Any idea how to fix it? Although I do get much better results then Dimitre on default settings @400MHz with -02 like:

CoreMark measures how quickly your processor can manage linked
lists, compute matrix multiply, and execute state machine code.

Iterations/Sec is the main benchmark result, higher numbers are better

I miss the -O3 options, so any help or suggestion regarding that issue will be more then welcome :). I expect -O3 to give significantly better results because (for example) -O3 in Dhrystone 2.1 Benchmark is giving me huge 1318.21 MISP while -O2's options is giving just 937.93 MIPS, and that is a huge 40.5% difference.
