Running cm9 on a Touchpad, if that's of any interest. PM sent.

Edit ... ran it already. On a 1.2ghz touchpad, 992.0 on two threads.

Thanks :)
Another result: A Galaxy S2 (exynos 4 dual-core, 1.2ghz) user reported 998 MFlops using 2 threads. Not sure of his firmware version though.

I think after looking at the data so far, we can conclude the following: Cortex A9 implementations such as Exynos 4 and OMAP4 are achieving about 0.4 flops/cycle on the multithreaded mode. Snapdragon S3 is also doing 0.4 flops/cycle.

However, Tegra 3 to be the exception to rule and is only achieving about 0.32 flops/cycle average. Tegra 2 is also stuck at about 0.36 flops/cycle. Wonder if it has something to do with Nvidia's memory controller.

About the single threaded results, actually I had forgotten that the single-threaded and multi-threaded versions are working on different problem sizes. The single threaded one is working on smaller matrices. This was to ensure that the single thread case does not take very long to run, but now starting to think that was a poor design decision on my part. So results from single threaded and multithreaded are not directly comparable. I think I will provide settings to choose the matrix sizes yourself sometime.

Huh, I wonder if the VFP for the A9 has its own strengths compared to the S3. I wonder which would be more applicable in real life.

Thanks. Well, the performance has not gone down, it is actually corrected :oops:
The v1.2 you tested earlier had a bug. The Play store version is the corrected version, and is the actual correct number.

Actually, still, the difference in perf is quite large. DId not expect that big a difference. Something not quite right, would you mind running it again?

Thanks. Different firmware versions can indeed have various effects on thread scheduling and frequency scaling, so might be the issue.
Here is my blogpost with prelim analysis of data, including assembler generated by GCC for the innermost loop. More technical readers will be interested: http://codedivine.org/2012/09/25/prelim ... rgbenchmm/

StabilityTest has a natively compiled version of Linpak (the normal Linpak for Android is dalvik-based and thus even more terrible). It would be interesting to compare the results a bit.

Interesting. Was not aware of that test. The MFlop numbers are still not reflecting what should be possible with the processors. LINPACK is a somewhat misleading benchmark name. Linpack tests are actually not a single benchmark. Rather, it is more of a "Calculate this using whatever algorithm you feel appropriate, as long as results are accurate and stable". Most Linpacks on servers are rewritten to heavily use the BLAS, and heavily depend on good matrix multiplication performance to the point where Linpack performance is close to the flops in a matrix multiplication benchmark (such as mine).

However, reference Linpack implementations in C/C++ also exist. These are more for reference/learning and do not use the BLAS and not used to test performance on servers. Given the relatively low FLOP rating you got, I think perhaps what they have compiled is this reference version.

edit: However, it should still be a good benchmark and hopefully not as terrible as the Java version.

I'm getting the same result after flashing jelly bean so I think it's something to do with the benchmark

Got result from a user with a Snapdragon S4 dual-core: About 1480 MFlops, matching that of Tegra 3 and about 25% better than the S3 at same clock speeds. Very impressive.
