cpu usage - Measuring CPU efficiency of bare metal ARM Cortex A9 system -


i have bare metal program implemented on on of core of arm-cortex a9 processor. program handling 2 interrupts. measure efficiency of cpu. may ratio of time cpu idle time cpu busy. using zedboard (zynq 7000 series) measurements.

since not have operating system running on core, aware on how cpu efficiency.

cheers, s

first off, have define mean idle. , definition part answers question.

if example, work in interrupts, , foreground task definition, when processor idling, can measure or @ least relatively. example have foreground task, have counter in loop counts , polls timer, every x number of timer ticks see how many counts (loops) have completed. fewer counts more time interrupts occurred, more counts less time interrupts occurred.

bottom line though, once define idle is, take idle code , measure how long spend in idle , how long dont. experiment other tasks off , see, using measuring stick, idles performance nothing else going on when other stuff running, can 10% or 50% or whatever.

assembly - 8086 TASM: Illegal Indexing Mode -

this question has answer here: illegal use of register in indirect addressing 1 answer i writing 8086 assembly program needs compile through tasm v3.1. running error can not seem fix. my data segment has following set purposes of keyboard input: parao label byte maxo db 5 acto db ? datao db 5 dup('$') what trying first character entered, first byte of datao: lea dx, datao mov bl, [dx] however, when attempt compile, error: **error** h5.asm(152) illegal indexing mode line 152 "mov bl, [dx]" any appreciated. if matters, running tasm through dosbox (my laptop running 64-bit win7) google hasn't come helpful answers. can post entirety of code if necessary. pretty sure reason can't use dx register pointer. try instead using [si], [di] or [bx]: lea bx, data0 mov al, [bx]

Java, LWJGL, OpenGL 1.1, decoding BufferedImage to Bytebuffer and binding to OpenGL across classes -

i've been attempting solve problem without luck. have 4 classes, main class, object class, sprite class , image loader class. i'm attempting load png using image loader , using method found here: http://www.java-gaming.org/topics/bufferedimage-to-lwjgl-texture/25516/msg/220280/view.html#msg220280 convert bytebuffer, , bind opengl. the image in it's own seperate resource folder. should being drawn this: ( http://i.imgur.com/j8gbu4c.png ) (32x32), i'm seeing white box has dimensions of image, not actual texture. if has idea of go fix i'd appreciate it. i'm new opengl , looking avoid using external library in order learn how actual code works. thanks. updated! to following, implemented suggestion provided vallentin, quad taking color of first pixel in image. i've attempted implementing image loader provided c.s here . i'm receiving error: javax.imageio.iioexception: error reading png image data @ com.sun.imageio.plugins.png.pngimagereader.r...
