Etalon-DaCapo is a port of a set of DaCapo Java Benchmark to Android devices. Since some Java libraries are not fully supported on Android and some others packages are completely left out, we ported only four applications:
1. lusearch
2. xalan
3. pmd
4. hsqldb (sqlite)
hsqldb is modified to use Android sqlite library based on the interface
described in
dmytrodanylyk
code repo.
The port is intended to be generic, and configurable to serve as a tool for Mobile benchmarking by the system developers.
Unlike all the other mobile benchmarks, this benchmark suite focuses on high level performance of the runtime (Virtual Machine). The ability to execute deterministic workload without environmental effect (GPS, WiFI, etc..) allows the system developers to analyze the main system performance.
From command line execute:
./runapp.shThe script takes care of copying the data folder to the external storage of the
device as well as installing the apk file located in the current directory.
The benchmark can be configured by modifying the contents of the xml file
data/app_conf.xml
| Field | Usage |
|---|---|
| speed | defines the load of the benchmark. Currently there are three different loads (smallest workload00). |
| iterations | number of iterations in each execution |
| inner_iterations | The warmup iterations. they will be excluded from the report |
| button labels | define the label displayed on each button |
| action button | uses java reflection to dynamically load the java class and attach it the given button listener |
In addition, there is a configuration file for each application
data/app_name/conf.xml
