Dhrystone

Microseconds for one run through Dhrystone: 1.2

Dhrystones per Second: 809061.5 


Whetstone Crippled

Loops: 1000, Iterations: 10, Duration: 24 sec.

C Converted Double Precision Whetstones: 41.7 MIPS

Rebuilding the Whetstone test code with 'gcc -mfpu -float-abi=softfp' gives better results:


Loops: 1000, Iterations: 100, Duration: 106 sec.
C Converted Double Precision Whetstones: 94.3 MIPS

However, the majority of compute time is spent in the SQRT function, which for the above test was built without -mfpu=vfp. Using a library with vfp give the following much improved result:

GPU

The Raspberry Pi appears to handle H.264 1080p movie from USB to HDMI at least 4 MB/s.

The Admin "JamesH" said it would handle "basically 1080p30, high profile, >40 Mbit/s." (5 MB/s) in H.264.

And about WVGA(480p30) or 720p20 in VP8/WEBM.

Compile/Run

- Download source, compile as delivered
- Start game
- Runs at display's native resolution, in my case 1280x1024
- Bitdepth stuck at 16 bpp, not sure how to change, values in q3config.cfg seem to be ignored
- In-game console commands:
\timedemo 1
\demo four

I/O

USB bus

  • All I/O uses the same bus so the combination of all I/O can not exceed the bus speed of an as yet hypothetical 60 MB/s
  • A test with a fast USB-Stick showed that Raspberry Pi can achieve about 30 MB/s:
root@raspberrypi:~# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=32M count=10 iflag=direct
10+0 records in
10+0 records out
335544320 bytes (336 MB) copied, 10.6428 s, 31.5 MB/s

SD card

This section has been moved to RPi_SD_cards#Performance

NIC

Compile/Run

On LAN server:

iperf -s

On Raspberry Pi:

iperf -t 60 -c <SERVER_IP_ADDRESS> -d

Routing

Methodology

  • OpenBSD 5.2 computer with two VLAN interfaces in differents rdomains directly connected to Raspberry Pi with two VLAN interfaces.
  • iperf -s on one interface of the OpenBSD, iperf -t 300 -c on the other, Raspberry Pi routing in the middle.
  • iperf v2.0.5.
  • System load on the Raspberry Pi after 150 seconds testing.

Power

This table lists how much power is drawn over the 5V power cable whilst performing various tasks.

Task Power use (mA) Notes
Booting (without peripherals) 120-400 Taken from Agilent lab power supply readings. No composite/keyboard/mouse/network connected. HDMI was enabled but the cable was disconnected.
Idling (HDMI on, network on) 370 Taken from Agilent lab power supply readings. No composite/keyboard/mouse connected.
Idling (HDMI on, network off) 320 Taken from Agilent lab power supply readings. No composite/keyboard/mouse/network connected.
1080p video playback 750 About 3h on 4 AA batteries
Text editing - Same as idling
Compiling C code (QuakeIII) 364 Measured with a Fluke 87V multimeter. No composite, keyboard, mouse, or network connected. HDMI was connected. Current peaked at 418mA.
Running a Python program ?
Playing Quake III 461 Measured with a Fluke 87V multimeter. No composite or network connected. HDMI was connected. Current peaks at 551mA.
