The floating point results are suspiciously good compared to the rest of the results. I wonder if they have some good VLIW instructions for floating point or it’s just an error in the spreadsheet.
- brandmeyer 6y agoLinpack is a floating-point benchmark focused on linear algebra operations. Coremark has some floating-point-heavy benchmarks in its suite, although a common criticism is that the footprint is too small to exercise the memory system. So yeah, the "Maximum MFLOPS" row looks suspicious.
- Symmetry 6y agoVLIWs tend to do well for programs with predictable-at-compile-time memory access patterns which tends to correlate with floating point heavy code.
