equivalent number of instruction
I've a question (just like me)... but...if I've a choosen algorithm written in C or C++ or whatever code you want...fixed a compiler I can determine the number of instructions but these intructions are different each other: x ADD, y MUL, z MOV, f FADD, t FMUL (F stands for FLOATING)...Is there a methodology or equation or something else that permits to write the number of instructions in number of "Equivalent instruction" to compare different algorith? Is there somebody of you that use this type of metric? is it a rubbish? Thanks Marco Part2: I Know that it dipends on uP and architecture in
