Hello,
I'm a graduate student at the University of Michigan, and I have an idea for a compiler technique on the Arm Cortex A-76/77/78 CPUs.
It requires the use of NEON instructions on specifically one of these 3 microarchitectures.
What is the best way for me to evaluate the performance/energy of my idea?
The only dev boards I can find are the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855/865, and from their documentation, it's unclear if their Kryo Gold CPUs (based on A76 for 855 and A77 for 865) CPUs have support for NEON. I have submitted a question to them as well and am awaiting their response.
From looking at the website, I am not able to get access to the "Cycle Models." When I submitted a question, the responder directed me to these forums.
The Fixed Virtual Platforms seem to be for measuring functionality, not for accurately measuring performance.
Thank you for your time.
"The Fixed Virtual Platforms seem to be for measuring functionality, not for accurately measuring performance." Yes., it is correct.
You may need license to access the Cortex-A76 Cycle Model etc.

Thanks for your response. Going to the link, the Cortex-A76 does not seem to be an available cycle model. The newest Cortex-A model seems to be an A-55.
When I tried to ask a question on the support tab, it was auto-rejected.
