This project tackles the necessity of having a technology-independent performance metric. This metric can be used during the first stages of an embedded systems design methodology. The goal of this project is to analyze the usefulness and the meaningfulness of an innovative performance metric that is concurrently “Off the Shelf”, “HW/SW Unifying”, and “Statement Level”. In fact, to overcome existing metrics limitations, the idea is to consider to measure the number of clock cycles needed to a specific processor to execute a generic C statement. The proposed metric is called CC4CS (Clock Cycles for C Statement) and is defined as the ration between the number of clock cycles and the executed C statements.
