NPU性能接口说明文档

准备工作

升级系统到最新的版本

请参考文档: 升级固件到最新版本

重新加载驱动模块

  1. 卸载NPU模块
1
$ sudo rmmod galcore
  1. 重新加载模块
1
$ sudo insmod /lib/modules/4.9.241/kernel/drivers/amlogic/npu/galcore.ko gpuProfiler=1 showArgs=1

获取接口数据

设置环境变量

接口数据说明

带宽数据说明

  1. TOTAL_READ_BANDWIDTH 总读带宽
  2. TOTAL_WRITE_BANDWIDTH 总写带宽
  3. AXI_READ_BANDWIDTH AXI_SRAM读带宽
  4. AXI_READ_BANDWIDTH AXI_SRAM写带宽
  5. DDR_READ_BANDWIDTH DDR读带宽
  6. DDR_WRITE_BANDWIDTH DDR写带宽

使用率计算

  1. GPUTOTALCYCLES 总的cycle数
  2. GPUIDLECYCLES 空闲状态的cycle数

使用率 = (GPUTOTALCYCLES - GPUIDLECYCLES) / GPUTOTALCYCLES
