PyStone result for MAiX BiT w/ MicroPython v0.1.1 (CPU clock 403 MHz):

>>> os.uname()
(sysname='MaixPy', nodename='MaixPy', release='0.1.1', version='v0.1.1 on 2019-02-20', machine='Sipeed_M1 with kendryte-k210')

>>> exec(open('pystone_lowmem.py').read())
Pystone(1.2) time for 500 passes = 98 ms
This machine benchmarks at 5102 pystones/second

Thanks, so I've updated the 1st post with benchmarks on Pyboard D, ESP32 and MAiX BiT.

I don't think there's one in the table for the ATSAMD51, so I ran these on the Seeed Wio Terminal:

Code: Select all

Seeed Wio Terminal (120 MHz ATSAMD51P19A, MicroPython 331f7c9-dirty on 2020-06-30; Ardupy with seeed)

pystone_lowmem:
Pystone(1.2) time for 500 passes = 339 ms
This machine benchmarks at 1474 pystones/second

('from utime import ...' changed to 'from time import ...' for compatibility with Ardupy)


performanceTest:

hsquare:
>>> Doing 50000 calculations...
calculations done after 7372 ms.
Mean time for each inverse h square calculation = 147.4400043487549 us

The Wio Terminal claims to support a 200 MHz mode, but Ardupy doesn't seem to expose any frequency control through standard libraries.

CircuitPython is much faster. It may be running at 200 MHz:

Code: Select all

Adafruit CircuitPython 6.0.0-alpha.2 on 2020-07-23; Seeeduino Wio Terminal with9


pystone_lowmem:
