wasm-coremark

CoreMark 1.0 ported to WebAssembly.

CoreMark is a simple, yet sophisticated benchmark that is designed specifically to test the functionality of a processor core. Running CoreMark produces a single-number score allowing users to make quick comparisons between processors.

Builds

• coremark.wasm - WASI app
• coremark-minimal.wasm - Simple wasm module with minimal runtime dependencies
• coremark-emcc.* - Emscripten build

Running WASI app

You can open it with your browser.

Use any WASI-compatible runtime to run it directly:

# Wasm3
wasm3 coremark.wasm

# kanaka/wac
wax coremark.wasm

# wasmtime
wasmtime coremark.wasm

# WAVM
wavm run coremark.wasm

# Wasmer
wasmer run --singlepass coremark.wasm
wasmer run --cranelift coremark.wasm
wasmer run --llvm coremark.wasm

# Wasmer-JS (V8)
wasmer-js run coremark.wasm

# Wasmer-JS (V8 interpreter)
node --wasm-interpret-all $(which wasmer-js) run coremark.wasm

Running Emscripten version

You can open it with your browser.

Run a local copy:

python3 -m http.server 8000
# visit http://localhost:8000/coremark-emcc.html

Using Node.js:

node coremark-emcc.js

Running minimal version

You can open it with your browser.

Here are some examples of how to load and execute it using different engines:

• coremark-minimal.html - JavaScript example using your browser's engine.
• coremark-minimal.py - Python 3 example using Wasm3 engine.
• wasmi-coremark - Rust example using Wasmtime, Wasm3, wasmi.

To run with any wasm runtime:

1. You need to provide an u64 env.clock_ms() function, which should return current time in milliseconds.
2. Call f32 run() function. It should take 12..20 seconds to execute and return a CoreMark result.

Build instructions

git clone https://github.com/eembc/coremark.git
cd coremark

# WASI build
make compile PORT_DIR=simple CC=wasicc  PORT_CFLAGS="-O3" EXE=.wasm

# Emscripten build
make compile PORT_DIR=simple CC=emcc    PORT_CFLAGS="-O3" EXE=-emcc.html

# Native 32-bit build, for comparison:
make compile PORT_DIR=simple PORT_CFLAGS="-O3" XCFLAGS="-m32" EXE=.elf

minimal build is more complex, and requires modification of core_main.c.
