Linpack
The Arm has been tested using the linpack benchmark from, built with gcc with -O3 (Optimisation level 3). Run with array size 200.

With software floating point

Compile/Run

Dhrystone Microseconds for one run through Dhrystone: 1.2

Dhrystones per Second: 809061.5

Whetstone Crippled Loops: 1000, Iterations: 10, Duration: 24 sec.

C Converted Double Precision Whetstones: 41.7 MIPS

Rebuilding the Whetstone test code with 'gcc -mfpu -float-abi=softfp' gives better results:

Loops: 1000, Iterations: 100, Duration: 106 sec. C Converted Double Precision Whetstones: 94.3 MIPS

However, the majority of compute time is spent in the SQRT function, which for the above test was built without -mfpu=vfp. Using a library with vfp give the following much improved result : Loops: 1000, Iterations: 100, Duration: 15 sec. C Converted Double Precision Whetstones: 666.7 MIPS
