    Performance

    emFile includes some benchmark code allowing users to measure the performance on certain targets. This benchmark is in no way complete, but it does give a good approximation of the length of time required for common file system operations on various targets.

    Test Procedure

    Description of the Performance Tests

    The performance tests are executed as described and in the order below. Performance test procedure:

    • Format the drive.
    • Create and open a file for writing.
    • Start measurement of write performance.
    • Write a multiple of 8 Kbytes.
    • Stop measurement of write performance.
    • Close the file
    • Reopen the file.
    • Start measurement of read performance.
    • Read a multiple of 8 Kbytes.
    • Stop measurement of read performance.
    • Close the file
    • Show the performance results.

    The performance test can be easily reproduced by including the file FS_Performance.c (located in the Sample\API folder of your shipment) into your project. Just compile and run the project on your target hardware.
