Hi guys I am designing different algorithms on the DSP to work in real time(filtering, fft etc). I wanted to know the best way to find out the number of execution cycles/processor time/mips each software algorithm takes. So what I need to figure out for example is if my sampling frequency is 2 MHz and my clock is 150MHz, what is the highest order filter and FFT i can design to run in real time. Does TI have any inbuilt functions to do this. I came across a 'clock' function in C/C++ TMS320C28X DSP Compiler Users Guide. Its a function that returns an approximation of the processor time used by the program. I have tried to use it in my code, but havent been successful so far. I'm sure someone on this group must have used this function. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks. Best regards Vikram

Set the pin high on entry to the routine, set it low again at the end. Connect an oscilloscope to the pin and you can directly measure the time. The other requires having one of the general purpose timers free. Start it with a reload value of 0 and running at full CPU clock speed. Define a few variables in internal RAM, like this: long start_time; long this_time; long fastest = 0x7fffffff; long slowest = 0; ...and add code to your routine like this: ...at the start: start_time = timer; ...then at the end: this_time = timer - start_time; if (this_time < fastest) { fastest = this_time; } if (this_time > slowest) { slowest = this_time; } That way you can look at the "fastest" and "slowest" times using the JTAG debugger. I'm typing this from memory without the actual code, which is at work, but you should be able to work it out from the pseudo code. -- Jack Klein Home: http://JK-Technology.Com FAQs for comp.lang.c http://c-faq.com/ comp.lang.c++ http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~ajo/docs/FAQ-acllc.html
