Benchmark sample
This sample implements an application to measure the time for sending 256KB from the producer to the consumers.
Building and Running
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b qemu_cortex_m3 samples/subsys/zbus/dyn_channel -- -DCONFIG_BM_MESSAGE_SIZE=1 -DCONFIG_BM_ONE_TO=1 -DCONFIG_BM_ASYNC=0
west build -t run
Notice we have the following parameters:
CONFIG_BM_MESSAGE_SIZE the size of the message to be transferred;
CONFIG_BM_ONE_TO number of consumers to send;
CONFIG_BM_ASYNC if the execution must be asynchronous or synchronous. Use y to async and n to sync;
Sample Output
The result would be something like:
*** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v3.2.0 ***
I: Benchmark 1 to 8: Dynamic memory, ASYNC transmission and message size 256
I: Bytes sent = 262144, received = 262144
I: Average data rate: 1872457.14B/s
I: Duration: 140ms
@140
Running the benchmark automatically
There is a Robot script called benchmark_256KB.robot which runs all the input combinations as the complete benchmark.
The resulting file, ‘’zbus_dyn_benchmark_256KB.csv`` is generated in the project root folder. It takes a long time to execute. In the CSV file, we have the following columns:
Style |
Number of consumers |
Message size (bytes) |
Duration (ms) |
RAM (bytes) |
ROM (bytes) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SYNC/ASYNC |
1,2,4,8 |
1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256 |
float |
int |
int |
The complete benchmark command using Robot framework is:
robot --variable serial_port:/dev/ttyACM0 -d /tmp/benchmark_out benchmark_256KB.robot
An example of execution using the hifive1_revb board would generate a file like this:
