NEON memory copy is slower

[ismailmohammed]

Hello,

As per the below article http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.faqs/ka13544.html, I tried NEON memory copy with preload on IMX6 Solo and Quad modules.

For 16 MB data copy, the memory copy performance is as below:

IMXDQ Module

memcpy_libc : 435 MB/s

memcpy_neon: 343 MB/s

IMX Solo Module

memcpy_libc : 472 MB/s

memcpy_neon: 385 MB/s

Why neon memcpy performance is slower than libc memcpy?

Thanks

Ismail

Hi Igorpadykov,

I am using WinCE OS.

Hi Yuri,

Where can I find NEON based memcpy function?

Thanks and Regards,

Ismail

Hi Ismail

I am afraid NEON based memcpy function is not used

in WinCE too, so one will have to develop it himself.

Hello,

  You may try NEON based memcpy(), using source and destination  

memory addresses, aligned with DRAM burst size.

Hi Ismail

neon is not used for memory copy in official linux releases,

could you try with bare metal test.

Best regards
