Title: Shared Floating Point Support
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
|
|
This test uses two tasks to independently compute pi, while two other tasks
|
|
load and store floating point registers and check for corruption. This tests
|
|
the ability of tasks to safely share floating point hardware resources, even
|
|
when switching occurs preemptively. (Note that both sets of tests run
|
|
concurrently even though they report their progress at different times.)
|
|
|
|
The demonstration utilizes mutex APIs, timers, semaphores,
|
|
round robin scheduling, and floating point support.

Building and Running Project:
|
|
|
|
This project outputs to the console. It can be built and executed
|
|
on QEMU as follows:
|
|
|
|
make qemu
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting:
|
|
|
|
Problems caused by out-dated project information can be addressed by
|
|
issuing one of the following commands then rebuilding the project:
|
|
|
|
make clean # discard results of previous builds
|
|
# but keep existing configuration info
|
|
or
|
|
make pristine # discard results of previous builds
|
|
# and restore pre-defined configuration info
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Advanced:
|
|
|
|
Depending upon the board's speed, the frequency of test output may range from
|
|
every few seconds to every few minutes. The speed of the test can be controlled
|
|
through the variable PI_NUM_ITERATIONS (default 700000). Lowering this value
|
|
will increase the test's speed, but at the expense of the calculation's
|
|
precision.
|
|
|
|
make qemu PI_NUM_ITERATIONS=100000
