Maureen Helm cc6f8b524c tests: fp_sharing: Fix definition of PI_NUM_ITERATIONS The fp_sharing test has an option to control the number of iterations in the pi calculation, which is used to adjust the duration of the test on different platforms that may have significantly different execution frequencies (e.g., qemu_x86 vs. frdm_k64f). The conversion to CMake did not handle this option correctly and forced the same value for all platforms. The test now completes in about 5 minutes on frdm_k64f.

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 run

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 run PI_NUM_ITERATIONS=100000
