Here "timestamp" is an Android command line tool which reports the
current time in seconds.

You can get it from scripts/timestamp/src/timestamp.c

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=toolchain/benchmark.git;a=blob;f=scripts/timestamp/src/timestamp.c;hb=HEAD

To build the tool, enter the timestamp directory and type

../bench.py --action=build --toolchain=

adb push out/timestamp to /system/bin on Android device.

Then you are able to call timestamp to report time stamp in seconds.

Hi jserv.  That's quite cool.  I'll have a look into their benchmark
suite as there seems to be a lot of overlap with what I'm doing.

I just updated wiki page about Google's compiler benchmark suite:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/UpstreamToolchain

Please check the section, "Evaluate Benchmark suite".

Through adb[1], it is highly convenient to bench generated binary
files on Android device:

$ ../scripts/run_on_android.py
../scripts/bench.py --action=runcmd
echo Android_TIME_STAMP_$(timestamp); /data/local/perflab/skia_bench
-repeat 15; echo Android_TIME_STAMP_$(timestamp)
../scripts/bench.py --action=export
./out/skia_bench
adb  shell mkdir /data/local/perflab

['./out/skia_bench']
adb  push ./out/skia_bench /data/local/perflab
823 KB/s (802944 bytes in 0.951s)

time adb  shell 'cd /data/local/perflab; echo
Android_TIME_STAMP_$(timestamp); /data/local/perflab/skia_bench
-repeat 15; echo Android_TIME_STAMP_$(timestamp)'

The function "timestamp" is broken at the moment, and I am still
looking for the details.

Thanks Jim.  The Android tree doesn't have any build scripts and I'm
reluctant to stray too far away from upstream by adding my own.  I'll
stick with the code.google one for now.

I've updated:
 
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~linaro-toolchain-dev/cbuild/trunk/view/head:/lib/skiabench.mk

with interations so that each sub benchmark runs for approximately
five seconds.  This reduces the noise in the results, although I
haven't checked to see if some of the very fast ones like fps_fill are
dominated by the test harness overhead.

For example, running:
 bench -rotate -scale -clip -config  -repeat 600 -match fps_blend

will take around 5 s to complete on a 1 GHz Cortex-A9.

The skia code is also hold in the chromium project. I used chromium web
browser to check the skia performance with some browser benchmarks.

I think pixman is also a good candidate for skia to benchmark toolchain.

Jammy

Yes, don't use autotool inside skia package.

The skia maintainer, Mike Reed, made two branches: one is hosted in
Google Code, and another is
inside Android source tree:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/skia.git;a=summary

I would suggest to use the later.

Also, here is my previous testing results:

I'd like to use Skia as a toolchain benchmark but the upstream seems a
bit messy.  I'm using this export:
 http://people.linaro.org/~michaelh/skia-0~svn788.tar.xz

from http://code.google.com/p/skia/ which I then build and run using
these rules:
 
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~linaro-toolchain-dev/cbuild/trunk/view/head:/lib/skiabench.mk

The code.google version seems a bit broken.  autoconf scripts are
included but they don't work.  The non-autoconf Makefile assumes Intel
with SSE2. The Android Skia seems to be a fork from some time ago and
uses build scripts that are tightly tied into the Android build
system.

What's the best version to use?  I'd like to standardise across Linaro
for benchmarking so that results can be compared across groups, or at
least so we don't get confused.
