Benchmarks

BitBench contains 8 benchmarks:

1. Linear Solver (Optical Flow)
2. Linear Solver (Object Tracking)
3. Linear Solver (Inverse Kinematics)
4. Iterative SVD
5. State-Variable Filter
6. Bi-Quad Filter
7. Moving Average Filter (Width of 4)
8. Moving Average Filter (Width of 32)

Running the benchmarks

To generate the Verilog for the benchmarks, run the following (e.g. iterative SVD):

sbt:bitbench> iterative_svd/clean
sbt:bitbench> iterative_svd/compile

To run the test code, run the following (e.g. iterative SVD):

sbt:bitbench> iterative_svd/run

To disable hardware generation, comment out the plugin scalacOptions (e.g. iterative SVD):

lazy val iterative_svd = (project in file("IterativeSVD"))
  .settings(
    commonSettings,
    name := "iterative_svd",
    // hardwareSettings,
    // scalacOptions += s"-P:bitsad-plugin:top:IterativeSVD.scala"
  )
