regarding CPU Cycles

Started by sathya November 4, 2005
Hi all,
I am porting some audio codecs on TMS320C6711 platform using Code
Composer Studio version 3.1.
i am not sure about the Cycles count i have to take into account for MCPS
calculation.
In the profiler,We have two Cycle configurations,namely TOTAL and CPU.
Can you please clarify me which one i have to choose for MCPS calculation.
It will be great if you explain what these two terms emphasize..???

Thanks in advance,

TOTAL cycles represent the total number of clocks [ie,
time] that has expired.
CPU cycles represent the number of 'work cycles' that
the CPU has performed. This number is affected by
'CPU stalls' that occur for various reasons [see TI
docs for details]. Normally, most calculations are
only concerned with TOTAL cycles.
