Title: latency measure
Description:
This benchmark measures the latency of selected nanokernel features.
IMPORTANT: The results below were generated using a simulation environment,
and may not reflect the results that will be generated using other
environments (simulated or otherwise).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Building and Running Project:
This nanokernel 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

Sample Output:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Nanokernel Latency Benchmark |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| tcs = timer clock cycles: 1 tcs is N nsec |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1- Measure time to switch from fiber to ISR execution |
| switching time is NNNN tcs = NNNNN nsec |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 2- Measure time to switch from ISR back to interrupted fiber |
| switching time is NNNN tcs = NNNNN nsec |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 3- Measure time from ISR to executing a different fiber (rescheduled) |
| switching time is NNNN tcs = NNNNN nsec |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 4- Measure average context switch time between fibers |
| Average context switch time is NNNN tcs = NNNNN nsec |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 5- Measure average time to lock then unlock interrupts |
| 5.1- When each lock and unlock is executed as a function call |
| Average time for lock then unlock is NNNN tcs = NNNN nsec |
| |
| 5.2- When each lock and unlock is executed as inline function call |
| Average time for lock then unlock is NNN tcs = NNNN nsec |
