benchmark

Each subfolder is a standalone benchmark in the form of a Xilinx SDK project. HLS & MicroBlaze benchmarks can be found in the HLS and MicroBlaze folders, respectively.

To compile an existing application

You may use Xilinx SDK or run the tcl script

../scripts/compile.sh <application path, e.g. copy>

To run an applications from terminal:

• After a successful compilation, open a terminal and run the following command:

open_sdk.sh <application path, e.g. copy>

This will open the Xilinx command line tool (xsct). Then,

• Program a bitstream:

source program_bitstream.tcl

This script will select an appropriate bitstream. You may change it by editing the script program bitstream.sh.

• Download and run the elf file by executing

source download_elf.tcl

Power Measurement

• The project power_measurement should run of the second ARM core while the application project is running on the first core.
• The measurement can performed by:
  • Enabling this feature in the main.cpp file of the application that you may measure its power consumption

    const unsigned sync_power_measurement = 1;

  • Compiling the application:

  ../scripts/compile.sh <application path, e.g. copy>

  • Sourcing the script measure_power.tcl in xsct. It will program both ARM cores accordingly:

  source measure_power.tcl
