Green Hills compiler gets higher benchmark performance

Green Hills Software has improved run-time performance and decreased memory requirement for its optimising C and C++ compilers used for 32-bit and 64-bit embedded processor architectures, including ARM and Power Architecture.

This latest version 2015.1 of the compiler has achieved a benchmark performance score of 1.01EEMBC Automarks/MHz on the Cortex-R5 automotive MCUs from Spansion.

“This represents a 30% increase on previous performance scores,” said the supplier.

Meeting industry-specific safety and security requirements of ISO 26262 ASIL D (Automotive), IEC 61508 SIL 4 (Industrial) and EN 50128:2011 (Railway), the compiler’s new safety and reliability features include expanded traceability and the detection of more dangerous code conditions, even across modules and multiple libraries.

“In the automotive market, processor performance and code quality are critical challenges for developers,” said Markus Levy, EEMBC president. “The performance leap in these benchmark scores achieved by ARM and Green Hills is impressive.

There is also new support for the ARM Cortex-R5F and Cortex-M7 processors.

Processor support also includes Intel Architecture, ColdFire, v850/RH850, MIPS and TriCore.
