How to Calculate MIPS Data

MIPS stands for Million Instructions Per Second, which indicates the number of millions of instructions executed per second. Most DSPs belong to the RISC type, which means they have a small instruction set, with the majority being single-cycle instructions. Only a few instructions, such as jumps and function calls, require multiple cycles to execute. Therefore, … Read more

CoreMark: The Performance Benchmark Tool for Embedded Processors, Ideal for Single-Core/Multi-Core Embedded Chips

What is CoreMark? CoreMark is a lightweight benchmark suite launched by EEMBC (Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium) specifically designed to measure the computational power, instruction scheduling, and memory access efficiency of CPU cores. It runs only four core algorithms—linked list, matrix multiplication, state machine, and CRC check—making it both compact (the source code is less than … Read more

Technological Support Strengthens the 'Chip' of Breeding Pigs

Pork is an indispensable variety in the “vegetable basket” of the public, and its stable supply and quality largely depend on the “pig chips”—breeding pigs. So, how is high-quality “pig chips” created? Recently, reporters visited Guigang Shiji Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Guigang Shiji) to find out. ▲Technicians at Guigang Shiji Biotechnology Co., … Read more
