Subject: [PATCH] ARM: dts: socfpga: fine-tune L2 cache configuration
Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2016 19:52:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161118185218.16653-1-marex@denx.de> (raw)
Enable double-linefill and increase prefetch offset, which gives
considerable read performance boost. The following numbers were
obtained using lmbench 3.0 bw_mem tool, for easier comparison, the
numbers are pasted in two columns. The test machine has Cyclone V
SoC running at 800MHz MPU clock and 512MiB 333MHz 16bit DDR3 DRAM.
