Hi
I've built soft float toolchain (with crosstool) and then build
MPlayer with it. The performance is very low. I cannot even
play the mp3 file with MPlayer on DBAU1200 with 400MHz CPU!
I used
GCC: 3.3.5
GLIBC: 2.3.5
BINUTILS: 2.16.1
I did some profiling and this is what I get:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flat profile:
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
% cumulative self self total
time seconds seconds calls s/call s/call name
18.09 44.70 44.70 __pack_f
17.30 87.44 42.74 _fpadd_parts
15.82 126.54 39.10 __mulsf3
15.28 164.31 37.77 __unpack_f
6.49 180.36 16.05 _fpadd_parts
5.30 193.45 13.09 17424 0.00 0.00 dct64_1
4.75 205.18 11.73 __subsf3
4.04 215.16 9.98 __addsf3
3.68 224.26 9.10 17424 0.00 0.00 synth_1to1
1.90 228.96 4.70 __pack_d
1.20 231.92 2.96 __unpack_d
1.17 234.80 2.88 __muldf3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As it seems, all the time is spent in the FP routines.
I decided to use SF toolchain, because they should be faster
then FPU emulator (at least it is on ARM), but did no test
this with emulator.
Does anybody use MPlayer on MIPS?
What performance do you get?
Any other suggestions?
BR,
Matej
